You know you are in Italy when:
When after you duty you can get better food then a ready meal from TESCO (chi non li ha provati non puo` capire)
When you can see the difference between summer and winter, spring and autumn.
When for doing something like skiing, swimming or do something nice in general you DON`T have to get in to a plane for 2 hours and fly to Italy.
When after landing you DON`T have to que up for 1 hour to show your passport.
When you can get a fu..ing beer at 3AM
When is the men chasing the girls.. and not the other way around!!
and last but most important, When you are not called MATE by everybody.. I`m not your bloody mate.
Take care, cheers MATE
