Well…I’m not sure if I’m really going to write four posts here, but for sure I’ll write a couple of comments which could stay in separate posts instead.

ON FLY CALLS – For the first time in my life I was into an aircraft with the “On air” network. All the passengers, including myself, were surprised to hear from the cabin crew: “We now remember you that you can switch on your mobile phones and use the on air network for calls as well as texts and data traffic”. I tried the texts, they seem to work fine except that I received an incoming message twice (one on the aircraft and a second copy when I landed  and I registered my phone on his own network). Data connection is not working (at least for me): I didn’t have the chance to change my status on facebook neither to use Lifecache-snc

ITALIAN QUEUEING – Today I flew to Italy, so I moved from an “English world” to a “Latin world”. Impressive!! After two years living in a different country it was really strange to come back to the Italian world. Turin airport – No on line check-in available – Flight at 14.50 and check-in shall close at 14.10 – I was at the queue at 13.50 – 15 people in front of me – I did my check-in at 14.27 (2mins and 20sec for each check-in) – I run to the gate – gate still closed – boarding started at 14.46 – flight delayed – It is normal – W L’Italia!

ITALIAN LANDING – This is maybe only a Sicilian stuff now. I was really surprised today when a middle age woman tried three times (3!!) to start to clap to the pilot of the aircraft. She was beside me – I asked her if she is use to receive the same while doing her job – she said “no” – No clap anymore…well done Salvo!!

SICILIAN FIGHTNG – The best of the best!! Couple of Sicilians: She could be 30, he is 35 maybe. They arrived to the bus station, he was pushing the whole trolley with luggage (which were looking property of her from the color). The bus they were looking for seemed to be gone for few minutes. He tried to say her: “shit, just the few minutes we lost for the toilette”. She started immediately to scream against him: “yes….true…that’s because you are looking for an excuse to say to me fuck off!! I told you to leave me alone to run here to stop the bus!! But you waited to be sure that you can tell me fuck off!! There was a long queue for the toilette and I cannot exit from the aircraft and take 1h and half of bus without going to the toilet first!” A second woman which was close to them: “Yes, I can confirm that there was a long queue and she tried to reach the toilet as soon as she can”. The first girl: “It doesn’t matter, he is looking for the excuse to say fuck off to me!!” All of this in front of 15-20 people which were listening…I was laughing!!! The bus they were waiting for arrived with a small delay. She jumped in, he put all the luggage into the bus, he paid both tickets, they are now in the bus with me and I’m writing about them…nice

I cannot live with a Sicilian girl!! My girlfriend is sicilian for the 25%…I hope this has been taken completely from that 50% which is good in almost any Sicilian!

Well…of course I’m Sicilian only for 50%
