So similar to Colombia, except here they love to ask you how you are doing, but they will actually talk to you after asking, if you are having a bad day and will take time to listen. Here you have to have some chit chat for everythign even before paying bills!

I got told tranquila so much in the beginnig since my mentality was hustle, now its wayyy more chill! Customer service sucks here, you have to flag down the waiter and its normal, i now love it and hate the fake "niceness" from the US. Its like let me enjoy my meal without you up in my business and then giving me the check before i am ready!

I love "its permissible to be human" sooo true, i have learned this while living abroad.

My boyfriend is obsessed with Italy, he even speaks Italian.. and lately hes studying so much, i think he wants to move there!
