Italy vs Spain... which country/culture do you prefer?

[Cristiano viejo]

Are ya?
Are ya really Cristiano

I am very sociable... with Spaniards

Thanks, sounds nice, only this late dinner, it's too late for my taste

Can you tell something about typical Spanish breakfast if there is one of course? I would like to know if it's sweet or pastry like baguette in France or pancakes in US or some real food like scrubled eggs, sandwiches etc

Not my cup of tea so I would rather choose Italy. Anyways, thanks for telling me a bit about Spain

You are welcome.

We spend many of our time in street (in bars, terraces, retaurants, parks, etc), we are very sociable and friendly.
Our work hours are normally from 9 am onwards, and most of the jobs take a break at noon. It is very common for people to work until 8 or 9pm, especially in shops.
We eat usually at 2pm and dinner at 9pm, and go to bed quite late, at 00.00 or even later.

Yes, you are lazy and unproductive, and as result, poor, underdeveloped and not innovative. But we all already knew that.

Italy hands down. They have world-famous designer brands, luxury cars, food delicatessens, etc. The country has nicer scenery and architecture too IMO.

I like Spanish as a language better than Italian though.

This is very true. The Spanish writer Fernando Martínez Laínez spoke about this in one of his books about the Tercios, especifically his stay in Turín, city that he found dirty, grey and disorganized. He also criticized the motorways of Piamonte, something a coworker of mine also told me.

Then I watched a video in Jewtube where an Italian who had come to Spain marveled about the Spanish railway system, and he compared it with that of Italy, whom he criticized.

Then I watched another video in Jewtube about Spanish living in Naples and while they also say positive things about the Napolitans, lot of criticism as well: the streets, the mafia behavior even among normal people, dirt and decrepit city, etc.
I have seen comments so of Spaniards in travel webs about Naples, so it has to be true.

Then I remember a comment in past of Etore Messina, a Sicilian ex-trainer of Real Madrid of basketball, quoting an incident he suffered with the car in Madrid and saying he though that only happened in Italy, in a bad way

Wow you really strive to disrespect italy to confirm your shitty life, congratulations..
