Every Monday a new blogpost about my all my adventures and observations in Italy!
I’ve been back in Rome for exactly one week now after a break of almost six weeks in my Italian life. I can’t say anything else than that the situation has changed at a rapid pace. In just a few days, we have gone from minimal restrictions (read: wearing a facemask everywhere) to a curfew, …
Vandaag ben ik precies een week terug in Rome na een onderbreking van mijn Italiaanse leven van vijf-en-één-halve week. Wat is de situatie in rap tempo veranderd. In slechts een paar dagen tijd zijn we hier in Italië van minimale beperkingen (lees: overal een mondkapje) gegaan naar een avondklok, een sluiting van alle sportscholen, theaters …
Sono tornata a Roma da esattamente una settimana dopo una pausa di quasi sei settimane nella mia vita italiana. Non posso dire altro se non che la situazione è cambiata rapidamente. In pochi giorni, siamo passati da restrizioni minime (leggi: indossare una mascherina ovunque) a un coprifuoco, a una chiusura di tutte le palestre, i …
Twenty October 2016 – four years ago already – I was officially crowned as Dottoressa, Master of Science. Literally speaking, as you can see in the picture above. The whole day I proudly walked through the centre of Amsterdam with a laurel wreath on my head. I had obtained my Master’s degree in Business Administration after …
Twintig oktober 2016 – alweer vier jaar geleden – werd ik officieel tot Dottoressa, Master of Science, gekroond. Letterlijk gesproken, zoals je op bovenstaande foto wel ziet. De hele dag paradeerde ik trots met een lauwerkrans op mijn hoofd door het centrum van Amsterdam. Ik had mijn mastertitel behaald in Business Administration na eerst een jaar in …
Venti ottobre 2016 – già quattro anni fa – sono stata ufficialmente incoronata Dottoressa, Master of Science. Letteralmente, come puoi vedere nella foto qui sopra. Per tutto il giorno ho camminato con orgoglio per il centro di Amsterdam con una corona d’alloro in testa. Avevo ottenuto il mio Master in Business Administration dopo due anni di studi: prima …
The very kind pharmacist’s son, whom I met in August after the brutal street robbery, texted me a few days ago whether I’m almost returning. “Si si si si”, I wrote back, provided I’ll be testing negative at my corona test that is. Now that the infections are increasing dramatically in the Netherlands, the Italian government …
De attente apothekerszoon, die ik in augustus leerde kennen na de brutale straatoverval, appte me een paar dagen geleden met de vraag of ik nou al bijna terugkom. “Si si si si”, appte ik terug, mits ik een negatieve corona-test kan laten zien althans. Nu de besmettingen hard oplopen in Nederland, heeft de Italiaanse overheid Nederland …
Il gentilissimo figlio del farmacista, che ho conosciuto in agosto dopo la brutale rapina in strada, mi ha mandato un messaggio qualche giorno fa per sapere se torno fra poco. “Si si si si”, gli ho risposto, a patto che il mio tampone a covid-19 sia negativo. Ora che i casi stanno aumentando drammaticamente in …
Last Thursday was International Coffee Day, a day which I could not let pass unnoticed of course. After all, anyone who has ever been to Italy knows that a coffee at home will never be the same again now you have discovered what coffee can taste like. Then, everyone who has ever been to Naples …
