Florence

Alright its down to Florence now. And off to a really good start cause i met a really nice Florentine woman ( she's the caretake of the hostel) and she told me alot about the culture of Italians and of course the fantastic dinner place Il Contadino that you will see later. Something she said about one's second life is quite intereting.

She believs that people are often on face front nice which is why when you're a tourist and you smile a lot (like Moi :> heh), people will generally treat you real nice. However people are often forced by circumstances to do stuff (ugly ones like drug trafficking and all) in the so called second life.

So it kinda makes me wonder if life is really as multi-layered as it is and perhaps sometimes we dont even know whose lives we are living

Btw i've been walking around a lot by myself recently and meeting random people on the streets. I'm quite glad most people tell me i look like a friendly chap and if there's one thing i know about life from all these is that: The easiest way to connect with people is to Flash you big Bright Smile (No Not the maniac, pervertic kind), but the genuine Hey nice to meet you kind.
