These are my inner-most thoughts, mostly about travel, comedy and technology, but also occasionally other non-sequitur, tangential rants.
Well OK, maybe these aren't my INNER-most thoughts. Those are mostly about dancers and Swedes, and would probably get me locked up if they ever became public ... but some hopefully interesting thoughts, anyways.
Si, tu! They're just gonna love you in Italy. Un caffè = 1 espresso shot, un caffè corto, is a tight and 'short' espresso shot, un caffè lungo = 1 long shot (no not a double, more like a regular 1 shot at Starbucks), un caffè hag (pronounced more like 'hug') = 1 decaf shot, un caffè in vetro = 1 coffee in a glass (some think it's cleaner), and my favorite = un caffè corretto = a 'corrected' coffee with the alcohol of your choice; sambuca, grappa, averna, whatever... Nice after dinner drink. Looking forward to sharing many coffees and wines with you in Italia!
