I have been living/traveling in Italy for over forty years and the one thing I can never get used to is how everything moves so slowly. The simplest task in the US, like a trip to the bank, is regularly a two or three hour event here. The post office is worse. This trip I have noticed something that is almost out of the twilight zone. I have a Swatch Automatic watch. It’s the self-wind type (It doesn’t even need a battery!) that in the US runs at least 15 minutes fast every day. I make it a point to adjust each morning. The second day after we had arrived in Italy, my watch started being 15 minutes behind every day.
