America doesn’t have it!

or at least is not that diffused as in Europe…

I have been here since almost two months and here is the thing, I must say, with laughter, I miss the most:

The bidet!

I know, I know, this post is hilarious, but every european reading this article is likely to have at least a hint of how I could be feeling, and really I don’t understand why here it’s not used! I find it so hygienical and useful… and most of all is something I have always been using in all of my life. So, interested by this issue, tonight I googled it! And the wikipedia page popped out by giving me precious information: definition, history, location, culture and mostly the reason why it didn’t appeal in this country! I will therefore link the page in this article, in order not to deprive you of the pleasure to discover this bathroom item by yourself. I would only add that modern bidets are built in this way… and are continuously cleaned at every usage! (tsk!)

If you don’t have it, well give it a chance!

The traffic code is a good metaphor for life. It is always advisable to look in front of you, instead of behind you.

A volte mi fermo e penso che nella mia mente vedo ancora l’Italia come una serie di città stato. Piccole e bellicose!

Sometimes I stop and think that in my mind I still see Italy as a series of state cities. Small and bellicose!

Come puoi pulire fuori se all’interno sai ci sia dello sporco?Curati prima della tua casa e poi armati per pulire intorno a te.

How can you clean outside if you know inside there is dirt? First care about your home and then equip yourself to clean around you.
