I look around this city and I can truly see how someone can live the sweet life. Every corner seems to boast both culture and modernity as the various stalls dotting side streets, where merchants display goods that range from food to calendars showcasing priests (yup those actually exist), eventually give way to bus stops and train stations. In addition to this, Italians are noticeably (at least for myself) less frantic than Americans as they take time from their undoubtedly busy schedules to leisurely sip coffee in a café, take a siesta (for some at least) in the middle of the day, or even catch up with friends during a late dinner (sometimes 9pm or later).
I had the opportunity to experience a piece of this life and it wasn't hard to get used to it. I'd get up, go to class, have lunch, explore the city, and then have dinner. My friends and I even coined the term "3P's" to describe our (many) adventures that involved food ... [b]pizza, pasta, pani
