@shriramk@mastodon.socialWas chatting with an Italian woman who told me how in NYC Little Italy noone was Italian, nobody spoke Italian, and the dishes weren't authentic. I explained "Little Italy" just means "the place where poor immigrants work". She said, "Ah, the ones Trump wants to deport!" #Italy25

@publicvoit@graz.social @publicvoit@graz.social @shriramk@mastodon.socialBaffles me that Italy has adopted the US(?) notion of Outlet Malls with free buses to and fro, all to go sit in a place that is…basically what city center looks like. In the US, only malls look like this. So that they can imitate an…Italian city! #Italy25

And it's very hard not to get other tourists on the photo. I don't want to imagine, how the situation is in summer when it's high season.
Lovely view…
@shriramk@mastodon.socialI downloaded a bunch of podcasts before leaving Italy. An unexpected consequence is that I'm still getting hit with ads in Italian. AmEx and Shopify come really hard at you! #Italy25
@shriramk@mastodon.socialIn Bolzano I stayed next door to a Santner; in my next town, Florence, was near a Vettori. It felt like being in New Zealand, but also tells you what a great cricketing nation Italy could have been. #Italy25
@shriramk@mastodon.social1/ It's really hard to miss a particular demographic in Italy. Almost every cycle-based food delivery driver, outdoor market fruit/veg/cheap trinket seller, etc., is clearly from South Asia, down to the language and music. It's really stark. #Italy25 ↵
