"Always wearing a singlet and never going to bed with wet hair- or you could catch a cold, and then die."

Oooo yes. I moved from the Netherlands to Milan and I bike to work every day with wet hair. People are stumped. Amazed. Appalled. All at once. I like to freak them out by showing off my hair during winter, when it sometimes freezes solid. Good times. Have died zero times thus far, too.

Thanks for confirming that you didn't die. I have to admit I got scared for a second just then :S

Ha! I lived in a small north Queensland town where people who are fourth-generation Australians and have never left the country say they're Italian. They did make their own pasta, at least.

Exactly! Australia is an amazing place, isn't it? ALMOST nobody is from Australia, technically speaking.

Mi fa piacere. La community degli expat (o migrants) qui è fantastica e non mi aspettavo così tante voci amiche. Vedo che scrivi in due lingue, come ti trovi?

Mi piace moltissimo! E dare quelle sfumature in entrambe le lingue che altrimenti andrebbero perse in una o nell’altra.. anche se non facile at times 😁
