They say once you're in, you're IN. I don't think that is true. I cannot become part of this culture, but I am in it. I have gone to weddings, been to private socializing 'parties', and eaten local food. I have been part of all that. I have danced the local way and I got to know a few new people from deep within.
I enjoyed it all. But I don't associate with any of it. I can't like the greasy food, I can't put on orange makeup, I can't NOT clap and be happy at a friend's wedding, I can't flash out my boobs when I'm visiting girls (if I flash them, I flash them to everybody) and I will not climb on 13-centimeter heels. So, it won't do to "dream of caramel!"
I want to disappear from here...
Non vedo l'ora...
