Coming Up Blank

I'm almost dreading putting this post up. I hated Italy. So much.

[zhillz]

OMG We did too! What are your reason?

It pretty much all boils down to Italians being lazy, cocky assholes.

Imagine Jersey Shore, but extra conceited because they can actually speak Italian.

Yup. I couldn't believe they had the popped collar BS still no other country did... Almost everyone was a dick too and the majority off their income is tourist but they sure don't like to treat them nicely. Mother fuckers.

We didn't validate a 2 euro train ticket at got fined 50 euro each.... That's $75 friggin bucks gone. I told them to just kick me off the next stop I'll buy another ticket and he said he will call the police and showed me where it says the fine goes to 250 euro onto your passport.

hahaha I actually had the same thing happen on the train from Pisa to Firenze. The train guy let us off with a $5 euro fine on the spot, because we didn't have that much cash on us. Basically, the trick is finding them before you sit down. You can get on the train without validating, but you have to find a ticket person before you sit down so they know you're not trying to fuck them. The problem arises with the fact that if you knew you didn't validate your ticket, you wouldn't have gotten on the fucking train in the first place. It's kind of a shitty system, but I get it.

Have you asked anyone why we change a proper name into a different word? I never got that? I'm talking about like

germany - deutschland
firenze - florence
praha - prague
etc

It's mostly because nobody likes speaking anyone else's language.

I mean, shit, the French even change the name of people. Michelangelo = Michel-Ange.

It's mostly an issue with the difference in pronunciation. Certain linguistic patterns are harder to say for some languages than others, so the one with the hard time just changes it.
