sometimes I admire the Italians or just truly passionate people who just let it all out. maybe this is why. i was always surprised how by how many French couples would be kissing in the grocery store aisles.

Hmm, a trip to France might be fun

skip paris tho

and honestly, if you want to see the most balls out people in europe it's definitely italy

but in all seriousness, everything below the latitude of the centre of the black sea is balls out

I'd prefer Italy actually. I like the sound of Italian more than french

southern italy, from like rome/pescara south

but i had good experiences with farmers near Bologna, so, yeah

probably stick to that advice for city people

country people are fascinating everywhere

Is it possible to live there without knowing Italian? I like languages, I like Italian, but idk any italian

Also do they speak Italian on the Dalmatian coast? Iirc Italy once ruled there

you mean croatia, right?

nope, they speak croatian there now... as i mentioned in a parallel thread, italian is easy to speak, croatian and serbian have some unfamiliar grammar, similar to russian and german, italian grammar is also quite simple

it is very nice along that region though, pure white sand beaches, clear water...

dirty croatians claiming all of it... even though a lot of it closer to the east is mere dozens of kilometers thick territory, so fucking stupid

btw, i hate croatians, never been inclined to go to croatia... went through there but every impression i get about croatians is negative... bosnians and serbs are nicer... but if you want to be beside the adriatic sea, the best places are indeed croatia

italian is a pretty easy language, like spanish is pretty easy

half an hour a day for a few months on pimsleur and you'll get along fine

portuguese is harder, it has a weird phonetics, italian is singsong, it's like learning songs, really, italian is fun

i'm not keen on the idea of living so close to volcanoes or the sea these days tho

Oh yeah, there's a volcano about to blow, right? That's awesome, I wanna see it

haha, yeah... idk where exactly... i walked through a region that had some of that nearby... lots of fracking installations beside the road and gas pipe markers all across the landscape, and not many people... probably not a very safe place to be overall

the little town i encountered was absolutely gorgeous, along the way

was a very memorable walk, from rome via avezzano through that region out to pescara

yeah, you wanna do it, for sure, do it, it's beautiful, idk whether to recommend doing it on foot though, it's really pretty

I'm really fond of renting motorcycles when I travel. No motorcycle license, though. I just kinda figured it out in the Philippines, highly recommend. I wonder of I can get away with doing that in Italy

maybe not so easy there

yeah, long range licence free transport... this is a hole in the market that people are trained to ignore

We're not free in the west
