I think that Italy, like any other place in the world has its flaws. Just because a kid makes a mistake doesn't mean he/she is a bad kid; it just means that they are human and that they should try to learn from those mistakes. When i went to Italy, I was in awe of how much they preserve their history and heritage. If the Sistine Chapel were located in the US, some moron developer would try to make a shopping mall out of it. In addition to the amazing sights of the country, the people were nothing but gracious and friendly to me. i have yet to meet an italian i couldn't get along with (and i know quite a few). The food was second to none, and while I am not a fan of the PM or the government in general, I have always and will always hold a special place in my heart for the country and its people.
That being said. I am fearful that i have given some people the impression that i am someone who tries to find the negatives about Italy and just put them on here. I am very sorry for giving that impression. i am very much interested in learning everything i can about the country and i think i might have been going about it all wrong. Anyway thanks everyone for your patience and tolerance in politely setting my views straight. FORZA ITALIA ( i hope i spelled it right) *this is in no way any reference to the political party...i just like what the phrase translates to "go for it Italy.*
