I get so accustomed of living in the small town of Chiusi that things that occur have almost become common place. I forget that those who don't live in a small town may have no idea of how it is like. As with anything else, there are the pro's and con's but you have to decide for yourself. ...
1. Be prepared that if you wear the same clothing more than two days in a row people will comment on it. Actually people will comment on anything anyways so who cares.
2. You cannot put on a pair of sunglasses and a hat and have an anonymous day because sure enough you will be stopped and asked if everything is ok.
3. You cannot cry because you feel like crying for whatever reason in your car or anywhere because you will be stopped and asked about it or someone will spread the rumor of something evil having happened to you.
4. Image and appearance is everything so be prepared. Here it is what you wear that makes you what you are.
5. Don't ever ever go barefoot. Huge no no.
6. Don't wear flip flops unless it is scorching hot weather in the Summer.
7. Always wear some kind of a jacket, coat, over coat, trench coat, wind breaker. Going without outerwear is another no no.
8. Shoes should always be super clean and polished.
9. Hair should always be nice and tidy and if possible a weekly stop at the hair salon for women is a plus.
10. Make sure your car is clean. This is an ordeal and impossible for the vast majority that live in the countryside.
11. When in doubt, buy designer even if you cannot afford it. This still makes me laugh.
12. Don't ask for a cappuccino anytime after 11 am. A huge no no.
13. Do buy lots of bread, focaccia daily.
14. Beware of when the circus is in town as it brings diseases.
15. The cold outside or rain causes colds and viruses not the fact that someone sneezed on you.
16. Social media is talking a lot outside.
17. An iPhone is the American way of saying telephone.
18. Facebook is a book with many pictures of faces.
19. Life is eating well..........

Just found your blog! So glad to be reading it. This post in particular! I'm an American who just learned last week that my husband has landed a teaching post in Arezzo! We'll be leaving in July - with our toddler daughter! Can learn a lot from you, I'm betting!
grazie! Gina
Ciao Gina! Great. When you get here, send me your contact info. Arezzo is just a 20 minute train ride away. I lived 4 years in Arezzo. You are going to have a fantastic time!Lucia
Hahah Love it. The humor is to die for. It makes me really want to hang around with the people there.
