Which Seat Should I Take?

I have had this blog ready but I have kept forgetting to submit it. So here it goes!

So, my journey to Florence, Italy was fun. We met a lively/cute Italian woman who gave us our hostel, perhaps with bedbugs, and explored the Renaissance city. It was of course beautiful and obviously had wonderful food where if you stayed for more than several days you would gain 40 pounds. Train rides were rough and I could talk for another several paragraphs about how cool looking the city is however, I want to talk about a comparison I found out.

Italians are like Americans in the aspect that they are very friendly imminently. The French seem very cold but they just take longer to break and become friends with. Our Cross-Cultural Management teacher informed us that it is hard to become good friends with a french person because it takes years. She said that they cherish their friendships and will stay friends forever unlike in the U.S. where we switch friends and forget about others as we grow. I thought this was interesting since we usually think of french people as sometimes cold.
