Too many colors hurt my eyes
am now seriously unnerved by Italy.
Every time I visit, I come home depressed. I think afterward, why did I go there? To have so much fun and then have to go back to my mundane life and get depressed? No way, Italy, you must stop doing this to me, gal.
Italy, you and I have a score to settle. I am saturated with your beauty and the compliments you get, and I have a few things to get off my chest about you here.
I think this might also be useful for those thinking about going to Italy, especially for the first time. You may want to reconsider your trip plans. Hear me out:
1- First of all, the diversity of the food is actually a nightmare
Compared to Portugal, Italy is a bigger country.
Every little land has its typical dishes. We all know about the spaghetti Bolognese from Bologna, the breaded Milanese in Milan, the
Venetian fritelle
in Venice, and of course, the famous Neapolitan pizza in Naples.
Tiago too happy about the food. All photos taken by me
The list is endless and actually annoying.
How the hell can we ever, in the time we have in this life, manage to have lunch in Milan in one day and be in Naples in some little bar shoving a Marguerita pizza down our throat while ordering a fresh Aperol?
And then, if we want a risotto down south, theyll tell us to take the North road. Italy, this is no good!
One person cant bend over multiple people and go on a rally through every little village to see where they make the best tortellini or where you eat the best antipasti.
Please, just stop. Make one dish and serve it everywhere to make tourists' lives much easier.
2- But its even worse when you actually find a great restaurant
