Friday 'lunch sandwich with grilled sausage: the bar / restau / tavolacalda / paninari under the office every Friday' does the grill outdoors! Here the speech
food / grocery shopping and 'different, of course, Italy.
Starting from the fact that Italian products in the supermarket are among the products' ethnic '(but' find them everywhere). What
carts in supermarkets do not need the euro to put in to be taken (this trust). What
2 liters of Coke costs 99 cents and a half liters of water $ 1.5 (in the supermarket!).
that for any products is' low fat version, which is incorporated in vitamins or protein, the light, diet, enriched, flavored and many others.
wrote that any product contains as many calories. What
bottles of coke on there 'says "No refills! The refill and 'invention, for the uninitiated, and that' great but not for export in Italy: when you go to a club, they nearly always get a coke or similar pay a fixed price depending on the size of the cup and then you can go to fill as many times as you want! In Italy, I imagine the green canes (the ones used to water the lawn), connected to the distributor who are going into the machine where the carboys are filled, for resale ... not in Italy you can not 'do. But here and 'a culture so that it also specify the sealed bottles in the supermarket ...
However the shop and 'fun. At least for now. And above all, having some money that will not be required to take only products on offer. Even if you still can not avoid looking at the price per kilo (or rather by the pound) rather than exposed. And so 'after the first I found myself spending half a kg of Philadelphia, 1 kg of ham already' sliced, 4 liters of coca, 50 slices of bread, 1 kg of yogurt, 2 kg of hamburger, 1 kg of biscuits, 4 liters of orange juice, 24 rolls of toilet paper ... (Plus lots of fruit and vegetables that I am here to tell due to lack of time and space ......). Perhaps the first expenditure I teach 'something, but I have not thrown anything away, I make the sandwiches, I have frozen stuff that I will use' in times of famine, in the end I am satisfied. And here the cashier while he makes you the shopping bags, asks how you are, if you found everything you needed if you're happy, if you want me to bring him the bags to the car (no, thanks. Also 'cause I'm in a bike ...), then paying more and card-not hardly ever pull out the money and you do not realize to pay (of course I calculation and check everything until cents, and all the stuff I've spent on the type 'equivalent of € 20-30. And there was fruit and vegetables ...) and short' a pleasure.
and Then 'to discover the discourse clothing but what will it take me 's a bit of time.
Near the house there 'a shop for clothes with a lot of stuff that I consider very well fit, but also stuff Ralphlauren, puma, adiddas, Levis, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, etc ... My son bought a few shirts, a shirt and underwear Some, of course after checking on internet the conversion between the European and U.S. measures. The fact is that I bought the same great stuff (I could not try it 'cause it was closed sealed ...) then I went to the store and have taken and I have restored the money back, all: Here is' the law within 30 days if you back the stuff, also used, giving new you back everything, even underwear! Good, now I understand a bit ' best size I buy 'something, maybe something that we can try, but'.
The comfort 'and' I have around the house Safeway (large supermarket that has everything and is cheap), 7 / 11 (open 7 days a week until 11pm with food and household Staples': you miss the milk, bread, sugar, coca, bacon, burgers, maple syrup, toilet paper ... no, that I have it), the Trader Joe's (a little 'more' expensive but excellent food quality ', has so much stuff in fact Italian), the Rite Aid (pharmacy, that' there are supermarkets, pharmacies that sell drugs but also food, stuff for home and other), Ross (clothing store) , K-Mart (more supermercatone) and some other niche.
Meanwhile the work goes great. I managed to do almost everything I have asked, did well and in less time than we thought, so I'm happy and I would say the compliments from his boss. Great!
What a laugh, however, talk to colleagues (in a dress shirt, a sweatshirt with a hood, a shirt, but short-sleeved) address him and talk things like "Hey, what's up?" "Alright, dude" every now and then crushing some 5. Maybe it 's not so' in Silicon, but surely here by 'less weight to the form, and as he told my friend Paul Marenco with which I am here today to write to 9900 km away "sure you end up in a good company with good people. "
Awesome!
