Stile Italiano: Sempre Chiuso!!

To preface this small rant I am about to have let me first give you some background context.

First off; "Stile Italiano: Sempre Chiuso" means Italian Style: Always Closed

Second off: the way the public transportation works here in Italy is that the 1st of every month you have to go and buy a one month pass for everything. This is nice because you can take the bus or the metro as much as you would like for cheap!

Allora,

The only problem with this is that if you mix the facts of both the first problem and the second you get the type of situation we experienced today.

We got out of class around 2:30pm and needed to buy a metro pass because being boys, naturally we didn't remember this morning on our way to school. Oh and being boys that we are we diffinetly didn't have enough time anyways this morning to go buy one, so we needed to get one after school

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS EVERYTHING IS CLOSED. No joke, we spent 20 minutes walking around what is literally the Sahara Desert of Torino. It looks something like this:

Torino, Italy
Torino, Italy

These feel the exact same when the one on the right is closed. It is actually a bigger let down than the desert, because at least in the desert you don't walk 3 more blocks to only strike out for the 4th time!


And there is only one thing that can make a situation like this better; Rick Astley telling me how much he loves me!!


PS - If you don't listen to Mr. Rick Astley at all; I HATE YOU.
        If you listen to him for a little; I HATE YOU MORE. (finish what you have started!)
        BUT if you suffer through it like the rest of us have to every time we hear it; I RESPECT YOU!
