Time to say goodbye Italy. I have thoroughly enjoyed the gastronomy experience in Gavirate, Varese, Luino and Milan.
To summarise my experience in Italy, the GOOD: food is just beautiful. Fresh produce, perfect wine that is easy to drink and doesnt leave that tanin taste in your pallette like Australian Merlot. The pasta, well what can I say, except that if you love pasta, you must visit italy and experience it while you can. Seriously, I dont understand people who doesnt like to travel the world!! The coffee are just as perfect as their wine, even the worst coffee in italy still tasted better than the best coffee in Australia. That I am going to miss! Also the gellateria and pizzeria in almost every street corner are spectacular! Where else can you get nice Gellato for 2 Euro per cup?
The BAD: like any other non English speaking countries, it can be hard to get around here if you dont put any effort in learning Italian. The roads, well I wouldnt recommend anyone to attempt driving in Italy unless you know the road very well. The UGLY: the Italians love their cigarette as much as they love their coffee. It can be very unpleasant for non smoker like myself. They practically smoke anywhere and from any age. No smoking signs here are overrated! This is really what I like about Australia.
I give my Italy experience 3 shooting stars out of 5!
