"A big part of the 'la dolce vita' concept is that life moves slower. Who doesn't love the idea of unlimited coffee breaks, shorter working hours, and August spent beachside? In reality, it's not so pleasant at times."
"I'm lucky if I can finish a task in a day. Italy isn't as 'online' as the US, so you're better off going to a place in person rather than trying to call or email."
"Even after living in Italy for many years, it's still difficult for me to settle into this slower pace, especially in the weeks after returning from the US."
"Daily life back in America is much more comfortable and requires much less energy. I'll take the DMV over an Italian post office any day."
