The week in review:
Rainy days are in season apparently. Not good for trying to document an area with photographs!
Kala is sick anyway, so we have not had many productive days. There was one really nice day that I got a chance to go back to Parco Floridiana (a blog in itself) and enjoy the sun there.
One highlight of the week was going to talk to an English speaking girl that I met a couple weeks ago at “coin”, a department store in Vanvitelli. Her name is Simona and we exchanged phone numbers so we can hopefully hang out. This was a great achievement in my mind. It is really awkward to try and ask someone to be your friend and not come off as really strange…. It was difficult, and I felt really stupid. But she did not seem to think it weird and was seemingly into the idea.
Just so you know, it is totally normal to do that here… ask a stranger to get coffee or talk.
I had an interesting culture experience today as well, in going to the post office. There where about 20 people waiting for their number to be called and get waited on. Italians do a number of transactions at the post office. They pay bills and receive their pension there. The only impressive thing about it all was that they actually where orderly enough to take numbers and wait their turn. Quite impressive actually.
