Done

I finally made it – I have already completed all the documents required to be an ‘official’ resident of Italy. It sounded dramatic but that’s the case here, from the Italians' body expressions to some of them treating foreigners like crap. Three things you need to have in order to survive the ordeal: patience, ability to speak the language, and to say ‘God bless you’ more often. If luck is on your favor you wouldn’t even need to make an effort, but that’s a once in a blue moon happening. Otherwise, pack up your things and go back to your beloved country.

But hey, there is one consolation you would enjoy and should (be) drive you to stay i.e. the 'smell' of history through their monuments, architectures and basilicas whose credit by the way should go to the men and women in the past who as slaves built all those great edifices which our senses are now enjoying.
