Italy is a land of history and culture . And as we all know, the ancient architecture there is breathtaking . Just as we Chinese are proud of our history and culture , so are the Italians. One of their traditions is to enjoy a long midday meal. This lengthy lunch can last up to four hours! As you can imagine , after all the eating, drinking and chatting , they need to take a nap.
Well, this custom may be great for the stomach , but it's not so great for getting things done, If you happen to be in Italy, don't be surprised if you have to wait for a long time for the banks and post offices to open.
