Farewell

As we travel somewhere for some time, we get used to that place and those people who surround us. We also become a little part of their culture, because we are curious about the way they live and we want to know about it. Visiting Italy for few weeks, showed how small cities can be enormously different from big cities.
It also taught me how every culture is unique and how people see everything totally differently. Let me give you the most simplest example. In Toronto, when we go to the bar or restaurant we are most likely to tip the waiter/waitress who served us because that's how it is for us. In Italy, tipping the waiter is totally something big, because their wage is as high as the wage of an engineer so it wouldn't matter for them at all.
Shopping boutiques and grocery store would close early on the weekend.
All these small, different, unique and cultural things we learn make us understand and learn more about the culture and also get used to it very quick.

As my amazing trip ended in Italy, I can say that Italy stole my heart. I may not be Italian, but as they say "Home is where your heart is." My home is in Gaeta now. I'm planning on living there happily every after! :)

Naples Pizza

From my previous blog post you probably know that I visited Naples for couple of hours.

Naples is known for the best Italian pizza!!! And it’s so true. :)

Of course my friends and I had to stop by at the restaurant because we were so exhausted and hungry. And because we were so exhausted and hungry we realistically didn’t look at the name of the restaurant. BUT I’ll update this if I remember the name :)

As soon as we enter the restaurant, the waitress welcomed and seated us. It was a pleasurable environment: music playing, people enjoying their time. Since I’m from Canada, I’m used to waitresses to bring water as a start... Clearly, it’s not like that in Naples. When I asked for water she looked at me like I was asking for million bucks. Haha. She brought us all water and took our enormous order… Four different pizzas! It did not take them long to make those pizzas. We all shared and tried each one of them. They were so damn delicious with crispy thin dough and fresh vegetables.

As our drinks we all got Coca-Colas with different fancy things on it.

Honestly, it was a pleasant experience in that restaurant and I loved Naples pizza!

They definitely do have and make the best and most delicious Italian pizza ever!

If you ever end up in Naples, come by and enjoy their pizza :)

 

P.S Hopefully, I’ll remember the name of the restaurant and will ask my friends, stay tuned.
