What is it like to visit Italy?

[Onfayno]

Have you ever been to Italy? What are the most famous characteristics about it?

[soupdragon1234]

Yeah I've been there. Well the north anyway. Old buildings, cranky shopkeepers who didn't like giving change. Lots of snow. Ok I was a kid at the time and it was a skiing trip.

I would like to visit Sardinian

​Wouldn't want to visit there currently.

​Wouldn't want to visit there currently.

Indeed. I don't think anyone wants to visit anywhere at this point. Trump just stopped travel to most places in Europe........

 

One of the things I found interesting about the current virus scare is, doesn't seem that younger kids are nearly as susceptible as adults. Anyone remember the Star Trek (original series) where the population of the planet had been experimenting with life extending treatments, and killed off all the adults? (and the kids live for hundreds of years.....)

Miri. Yes I remember.

 

Its a bit of mystery why kids aren't as susceptible its thought their immune systems are better though that doesn't apply in the case of influenza to which they're in the at risk group (had that when I was a kid it was one of my worst experiences of my life)

 

I'm in a higher than average risk group for coronavirus so I'd be lying if I said I wasnt worried.

Here in Italy we do have lots of different landscapes/cultures/architecture styles etc.. and there's no way to reply to your question. Each tourist will tell you something that could be completely different from an other tourist's experience.

 

Of course, most Italians do have things in common, just like the primary language, the football passion, "pizza-oriented" or the fact we do lots of mimic while pacifically argumenting with someone.

 

Northern Italians are harsher and individualistic, while Southern Italians care so much about the group and the hospitality, but the North is the key area about wealth and economy. Of course...I'm speaking in general..

Yep. That's the one. :)

 

I am in a fairly 'high risk' group as well, not only am I older, my immune system sucks. So, if I catch it, good chance it'll kill me...... Not something I look forward to. :) (imagine that.)

@HeyYou....are you sure you're not Hey Boy?....just kidding, and if you are as old as I am, you know what I am talking about....Wire Paladin..HGWT

 

Anyway, I just wanted to say I hope you stay well and can get thru this ....I, myself, am in the high risk group...at almost 71 and after 6 heart attacks, I have to watch where I go, if anywhere...

 

Good luck to you and yours
