  2. Matteo - do not despair. There is no understanding it, just experience it. But truly, I think there is not that much different no? People are the same everywhere - the particular context may be seemingly different. Meanwhile, your blog is always fun and thought-provoking. Keep going. Cheers, Arati (from under the snows!)
