Walking around Milan
You know what I was most ... frustrating in Italy? 'll Laugh ... then, as the Italians go.
nagladyano me explain: I have just come back here in the office after lunch with two colleagues. Complacent, happy and well fed, we go ourselves and bikes grasses. People around a bit, the street is wide enough (important!), but on the whole length of the car parked on the sidewalk (yes, in Milan, so too the park). So, at the turn of the entrance to our building stopped a motorcycle, and he gets off dude, and his companion near worth waiting for him. Nearby, but the exact center of the street, straight tochnehonko the middle, just on the road. Stares at us, looking at - your comment? - And you think the party? No! While continuing to watch as the three of us to go around in cars parked nearby. Because it, the Italians, never-repeat, never-not-face-and-not-miss-counter-passers.
here just to ram go, and I honestly confess that I never kept my nerves and I'm at the last minute swerve from the Italian bombers. And so ... hmm! ... manner of walking is typical for both men and women. The difference is related to the maneuvers: Signori do it openly, mockingly, and brazenly look at the eyes, while Signora make inscrutable face and his whole appearance portray that you do not see at close range, and therefore quite purposefully continue the path on her way.
And such cases - the sea. My American colleague also shared with me sore: here, this case is particularly imprinted his memory. He goes down the other night in the subway almost at a run, so as not to miss the bus, and on the stairs at that time, the three ladies in high heels perform compound aerobatics. My amerikosy vainly trying to get around them, but the ladies took up arms for greater stability on uneven surfaces. He had to politely ask the ladies outsiders "Skuzate, permesso / Excuse me, let go," to which the ladies stop (walk zykryt - wolves!), Blocked pass - the precious seconds were lost - measured him with an angry look and reluctantly stepped aside.
I understand that in Moscow in transport in general hard - She went, still remember - and, in general, Milan subway is very friendly and user-Friendly, compared with our metropolitan subway. But I still can not get understand how so massively and so embarrassing to walk the streets peregorazhivaya way for everyone. Or, here go by the principle: "my feet - as I can, so they went through and"??
