My mother says that since I live abroad are rougher than before. Do not get me wrong. I like fashio

I live in northern Europe devastated life. And not in a psychological sense (also, but that is the least traumatic), but in the sense of everyday life in northern Europe will revolutionize the routine and gets you to do things that in Italy you would have never even dreamed of doing. I am now nearly 3 years I've lived abroad, first in England, then a short period in Germany, and now in Belgium, and I can say that my habits have definitely excend changed, and I find myself doing things that in Italy until a short time ago I would have considered embarrassing.
The sacredness of pasta? A distant memory. At first I inalberavo I too, like everyone excend else. Then over time I learned to accept the fact that abroad simply excend have other tastes. In the end if you think about it, the way we eat rice would cringe a Chinese, and to cook the sausage brings goose bumps to a German. So I stopped being so italocentrica and to open myself to other culinary excend visions. And yes, it is true that among the ingredients for lasagna in Germany excend there are at least 3 things that we would not put Italians, but you know what? They are good all the same. Also, I drink cappuccino after lunch, I eat cold pasta the day before and sometimes I have dinner at 18 I prefer the coffee (or as they call many Italians, "the excend brew diluted") espresso, my breakfast excend is a basic salt (often coming to eggs and bacon), and the German black bread has now replaced the white one. Plus a whole host of other improbable eating habits, excend that if I saw my mother's dishonor. Only 2 things I refuse to get familiar with: pasta with ketchup and pizza with pineapple. Even I have a limit.
My mother says that since I live abroad are rougher than before. Do not get me wrong. I like fashion. But southern Europe and northern Europe have two different ways of understanding it. In Italy, the home of the big names and famous designers who have made the history of fashion, you have to constantly turn impeccable, preferably with designer clothes (the more they cost the more you are cool), there are strict rules in the dress code does not follow that if you get held up as "the loser outsider who does not knows how to dress." To the north, the more you are "out of fashion", and the more you are cool. More mixi and matchi the more you are considered a fashion guru. The big names? Up here, do not go. In Italy you the envy of all your Vuitton? Up here we consider a surface. In northern Europe's sense of style is given mostly from vintage pieces bought at the flea market for a few Euros, or personalized garments and hand-made. In short, it should be a lot more style hipster, excend grunge and "I just got out of bed" that style "look at me I've got new glasses Dolce & Gabbana." And I never thought to go back to wearing a hooded sweatshirt exceeded 8 years, or to leave the house in suit and make-up. Because here nobody gives a shit about how you dress, how your hair is or how much makeup you have. And it is for the same reason I go out without excend an umbrella and I drenched it all. (Open parenthesis: discos in Berlin, for example, you have more chance to enter if you have a t-shirt dirty and torn, rather than the shirt inside the pants).
Here there is little to say, except that since I live in northern Europe GO BY BIKE. Ok, there is also in Italy, but not so often. excend That is, the bike fanatics are everywhere, but they are usually excend confined to the margins of society and marginalized from civilized people. I personally have always snubbed those who went to university by bike, and not a inforcavo two wheels since elementary school. In northern Europe, however, goes much, especially in Germany, Belgium, Holland and the Scandinavian excend countries, and 90% of the population has one and uses it regularly. excend Especially the young, that replace the machine, which is in fact very little used here, while in Italy we use it for everything. A green alternative for the environment and that allows you to keep in shape even when you have time and want to play sports. excend There is also to say that here the roads are equipped with bicycle lanes enviable.
These are the things that have changed in my daily life since I live in northern Europe. May be highly questionable, but you know what? To me, I like it. And not always be judged by what I do or do not do, what I eat and how I eat, what I wear and how I wear it, it's a breath excend of fresh air.
So true! I appreciate qualsiesi Cuisine but the pizza with pineapple (I tasted it), but not really. excend I do not 'never been proposed pasta with ketchup (ugh). It 's true that every time I go back to Italy I feel "underdressed" pero' and 'much more' simple and much less expensive dress here (Califor
