Word of the day: Comfort/convenience- ???
I don't know how to translate comfort, because in my opinion (and I do exaggerate at times) Italians do not have really know the concept of comfort/convenience. Heat in the winter? Only for 8 hours a day. AC in the summer, Ha! That's just being silly. AC is for tourists, not for people who are actually living in Italy. Oh, you want to run an errand this afternoon? Ha! You'll have to wait until after 3pm, it's called siesta. Oh, you wanted to wear something comfortable? Then, you look silly. Clothes should be tight and restricting to be fashionable. You know why Europeans don't worry about pickpockets? Because they wear their clothes too tight. It's impossible for the person who is wearing the jeans to take out his own wallet, let alone somebody else. Have you ever seen an Italian put their cellphone in their pants pockets? No! Because if it rang, it'd take 20 minutes to get it out of those tight jeans. Now you know why Italians are always playing with their cell phones on the subway. It's impossible to put them in/take them out of their jeans. That's why they are always on the table, even during a graduate architectural review. They are always out and playing with their iphones, because they can't possibly fit them in their pants.
