Italians abroad , what do they really ?Here's how Italians abroad do not spend their days :
1 - Do not go on a Saturday morning in the garage or at the taps to wash the car . Moreover, the machine not even have it. At best, they have the bike : faster in traffic, healthier , zero parking problems and zero environmental impact . The risks of accidents there are more , but the bike lanes are a little ' everywhere , and even if we fall the risk that a car then walk to give the final blow is very low. The increase in the fuel affects them only from a distance , the word " duty " and their translations do not feel for a long time and on weekends , at night , they can also raise the elbow , so you can return easily by public transport .
2 - They suffer from the absence of the sun, but spend most of the day to work and have little time to enjoy it anyway if not the weekend. Sure, many of them also perform menial jobs , often those "who would not accept in Italy ", but not before it had the arrogance under the nose , but only because that job, " those conditions of wage and hour " in Italian made them feel exploited. Elsewhere, no, because the conditions are different . It is not the prestige of a job to interest him , but the dignity of the worker , of any profession it is. They do not like to live on the shoulders of a company. Many are gone because, fed up with the system , now are careful not to replicate it .
3 - Eat Italian at home, where they cook their own ( without help of grandmothers or mothers ) and when they go out for a dinner give vent to their curiosity. Thai, Palestinian , Peruvian , Bulgarian, Sudanese , sometimes even ( the more daring ) German or Dutch . People are curious , not afraid to try what they do not know and embark on new adventures. Of course , when they go to the supermarket the quality of products , especially vegetables , is what it is , but eventually you find a solution for everything. Fortunately, the theme of do not care for 30 per cent of their time between files at the checkout and meal preparation at home. There is so much to do in the city that it is better to go out and see yet another free vernissage of an exhibition that home to eat one and a half in front of the TV .
4 - They come out mostly with Italians , but they work , talk and engage with people from all over the world in languages ​​that have often learned on the spot or after many years of study in Italy . They have made ​​and continue to make sacrifices. It is not easy to abandon childhood friends and family and it is normal that the difficulties of an expat are more understandable to those who have lived a similar experience rather than a local , German, Danish or English that is. Friends are their new family . If you have a problem at night , there's mom, dad, brother or sister to rush to their aid , but the friend or the friend of the heart. That, in turn , expects him or her to do the same in reverse parties . And it's Italian , Spanish, Argentinian or Chinese does not matter. Import that friendship is healthy , sincere and ready to sacrifice. The Italian abroad does not have to prove anything, neither to himself nor to friends or strangers remained in Italy .
5 - They want to start a family. And despite their salaries can not be high and there are no grandparents to give him a hand with the babystting , we feel the same . They feel supported by the state and thus risk . And make it one of the most beautiful things in the world to give birth to a new creature .
6 - Following the events with Italian passion. And ' stronger than them , but despite living abroad and could enjoy the culture of their new country , however, continue to feel alive the feeling that binds them to Italy, and in case of yet another German, American or French should make him a joke about why Berlusconi is always there, want to be able to answer non-trivial , but sociological and, in many cases, even against acquittal of all those who continue their countrymen to give their vote in a rather questionable. Though they may just find the jokes of the alien duty on the Italian political situation , for reasons of pride, they do not want to agree with him , not least in the face. Despite everything or everyone, continue to love Italy and Italians .
They know that all their culture , their education and, hopefully , their coming achievements, are also the result of what their country has given him. Suffer see it go adrift. When they come back for the holidays or to vote because they have not yet transferred his residence (and only to " do their duty as citizens " who often spend hundreds of Euros even have ) , after a few days of excitement to return (food, sun and warmth of the people ) , they begin to live with all the discomfort. From their point of view it would be so easy to change things in Italy : it would be enough to copy models and ideas that already exist abroad. Yet no one does .
7 - I do not suffer from envy. Do not ever allow you to tell someone who has been in Italy that " hurt " or , in reverse parts , would say " well you speak that you're gone ." It is not racist , do not think that " the stranger steal jobs" because he knows that if someone who does not speak the local language well , he did not know and neither too much money on hand with which to survive in the short to medium term , is able to get a good place in a country that is not his , it means that it is simply better than us who was born and raised there . In Germany, as in Italy . Do not you feel guilty for abandoning a sinking ship , his hope is to be able to do good from outside Italy . She wants to be a positive ambassador of his nation , he wants his family to be proud of him and that's why it spreads and how it can emerge to show that his decision to leave was the right one .
With time, perhaps this spirit of revenge is lost , all routes life lives and personal issues that do not always have to do with the condition of living abroad , but one thing is certain: if Italy had everything in terms of civilization and meritocracy have received in their new country, maybe not now or in a few years , but definitely in their future pianificherebbero a return on a permanent basis . Because they know very well that you can live well in Italy as anywhere else in the world. Too bad the first to forget it is just a lot of Italians who remained in Italy . That many things are taken for granted and prefer to continue to complain about the system instead of trying to change it. Or it behind them . Because we have only one life available. It's worth your look to live in the best way possible.
