I seem to not have any time to blog at the moment and once you miss a few weeks it's easy to never get around to it. I will endeavor to write another post in the next week. Maybe doing another one will get me back into it again! Apologies! I seem to not have any time to blog at the moment and once you miss a few weeks it’s easy to never get around to it.

ER: I'm glad it wasn't just me taking out frustations about the oldies! Carissa: Thanks! I don't mind self checkout as I got used to them in the UK, but when they go wrong they are a pain. Milan is a love it or hate it place perhaps - quite noisy and busy, but there are a lot more jobs here than other parts... Frankie: Thanks, yet the buses are really full, but they are every 3 minutes and run until 1:30am, so I guess that is a good service! Every now and then I need a big coffee, but I also enjoy my espressos too. Michelle: Yes, pretty touch-screens nonetheless. I think it is a technology leap to far!

It's so true about elderly people! Have you noticed they use the bus a lot more too here in Italy? Bus rides are like a game of musical chairs with everyone getting up and down to let the eldery have a seat! And about the coffee- I happen to have developed a taste for espresso (luckily, otherwise what would I drink?) but whenever my mother comes to Rome she sends me a message as soon as she arrives back in England saying "ah, finally a decent-sized cup of coffee"!

I was browsing expats Rome when I found your blog. Hilarious. I'm not a fan of self checkout, and at the pace Italians move, I probably wouldn't be a fan of it there either. :) I'm planning/dreaming about moving to Italy next year. I'll be counting on you for some fun inside info :) So why Milan? Ciao! I was browsing expats Rome when I found your blog. Hilarious.

And you're right, as soon as you learn some Italian swear words, you start hearing them all over the place!
