Hi Walu,
You're just saying that my statements are incorrect, but you're not going into details or providing any kind of further evidence that prove me wrong.
Maybe you're used to trains with hours of delay, claustrophobic streets, endless lines at postal and public offices, helpless public administration and the highest income tax in the entire EU, but a foreigner may be unaware of those things.
I simply want s2h (since he plan to install himself and his family in here) to know how things really work (or better doesn't work) in this country, so he can do a balanced evaluation before making any move.
Is there something wrong with that? Or have I broke some sort of secret silence pact?
Don't even think to come and tell me that everything is fine and that this is all an invention of mine, I'm living all this careless and inefficiency firsthand every single day.
"It's far better you all keep up North, in the traffic, pollution and miserable weather! Fill your boot's with that!"
I don't know what idea you've got of me, but I was born, grown, and actually living and working in the south.
Your allegoric (and a little bit childish) idea of the bad rich northern guy denigrating the south of the country doesn't apply.
About miserable weather, today temperature reached 38° with no wind, it doesn't rain since three months, and if I take a look outside of the window all the vegetation is dead, the colors are the ones of a desert, and without constant air conditioning it's almost impossible to work or do anything different than lying in bed in a bath of sweat.
Btw, Como outskirts are actually a good choice, I agree with that.
Up there people attitude is more Switzerland or Austian-like than Italian, but the fact of being under Italian law and local goverment could reserve you some really unpleasant surprises, especially if you also plan to work there.
Think twice and check everything out, better safe than sorry!
