      I always thought she'd be a lovely girl as she has nice parents. She went to school in England so has had good experience of both cultures.

      I find that Skye is her own person - composed and independent. She was educated in England which accounts for her proficient bilingualism. She is definitely the best of both worlds. A lovely, polite and hard-working person. More Skye please! 🙏

    Honestly, there are both wonderful and not wonderful things everywhere one goes . That's the beauty of travel.... not only are there great things to see, do and eat, but also the people. Even though we are all different, in many ways we are the same and it just takes a little getting to know each other. 😍😍

    It's the tumble dryer. It makes all the difference, Nicki. I'm in Greece and whenever I dry clothes on the line, they're much harder than when tumble-dried.

    Thank you Nicki & Skye for the chat. Regarding hard water in Italy, I will never forget my first trip to Italy in 1970 and bringing my shampoo that I was using in NYC, where we have soft water. I washed my hair and the shampoo would not rinse out. From that experience, I learned that no matter where you travel use the local shampoo, for example in a hotel, which is formulated for that local water. Safe travels!

    I can only compare UK vs Italy in a lopsided way. I am British by birth and have lived in the USA, for many decades. I married an Italian American, who is a lot like Carlo, very friendly and loves working on projects around the house and gardening. All my friends want to ‘ borrow’ him! We have visited Italy many times and we both love the country.
    His grandparents emigrated to the US in the early 20th century. He has a wonderful American extended family who have always treated me so warmly . On one Italian trip we were able to visit his family of origin, who were farmers. They served us a delicious dinner that all came from the farm.
    They were delighted to meet us and we loved them.
    Because we have a tendency to talk to strangers all over the world, we have had many conversations and good experiences. Even in the UK, people seem to open up to us. However, I do find a level of reserve in the UK, that is not present in the USA or Italy. And although I still miss a few things in England, I much prefer life in the USA. I also learned to ‘cook Italian recipes and often make my own pasta and traditional holiday foods. So my kids grew up with mince pies and iced cake at Christmas and ricotta pie and pizzelles at Easter!

    A thing that shook me last year when I stayed in my house in Kingston, is how quickly night falls and so early compare to Normandy. The comparisons you made are very similar to mine. When I moved to Kingston in 73 it was so different, it was like a village where everyone knew people, but no longer. It is like a foreign town to me now....Drivers politeness and being courteous is unknown in France, as for customer service, the less said the better....Still, very blessed with the river walks and all the parks. Lovely to see Skye and get a glimpse of your Dad. Great little video, thank you.

    One thing I notice about your videos in Italy is that the neibours all help each other sadly the UK is not like that anymore neibours don’t even know each other . I lived in Germany many years ago and the neibours all helped each other . As for hard towels I live in Bedfordshire and the water is very hard , our towels are also stiff as boards 😆. As for the heating many people in the UK can’t even afford to put their heating on it’s so expensive . You both find our supermarkets good but I find Italy still has naturally grown local food which is what a lot of the UK is now going back to because we are sick of being ripped off by supermarkets . I often wonder why sky was sent to a British school when she was brought up in Italy im sure their schools are very good our education system is sadly lacking now . I enjoyed your comparisons when I lived abroad and used to visit England it’s like we see things through 5he eyes of a tourist I think it’s called reversed culture .

    When you wash your towels, shake them well then turn opposite way & shake again. Keeps the pile up thus towel softer.

  • @tedgalperalper1828

    I found your conversation very interesting because I shared some of your experiential background. In 2000 to 2004 I lived in Belize park in London. I worked at the American school. In 2001 after traveling to Tuscany many times beginning in 1992. I bought a place in Vicki antique classical region. Thus I have lived in both of your lands, but I have also spent most of my life living on the West Coast in California USA. There are major differences among these three places. There are differences that are regional in Italy and in England and in the US. As you can see by our politics in the US right now, we are on the verge of a civil war. The red state versus the blue state. In London, especially in Belize Park, where I live for three years, there was very little recognition among the shopkeepers that I frequented. My barber knew me, but given the fact I was at work five days a week. I really didn’t get out and about in the area. There’s no question that London can be an expensive place and there is a thing called the London tax. That is the fact you pay more because you live in London And trades people charge you more. People were polite for the most part but we’re not overly friendly. They definitely avoided eye contact when you were walking and especially on the underground. If you were looking for lower prices, you went out to the countryside. In Italy after we bought a place we became very familiar members of the community in.Castelnuovo berardenga. It is located in the Chianti Classico Trail and is a wonderful town. We connected with the people at the bar. Centrale and after they gave up their approval, we were accepted in the community. Every time I return to the local grocery store, I receive a welcome back. There is no question. The cost of living is cheaper in Italy than in London. Further, if you enjoy Tuscan cuisine, you will be very happy. There are very few non-Italian restaurants in the province of sienna. Recently there has been some presence of Chinese and Japanese. I have not eaten there because I get great Chinese in Japanese in California. There were no French restaurants or Spanish restaurants or Indian restaurants such as you would find in London.. Italians like their own food and even their own regional food and wine better than they like other food outside their region. They are provincial. In California by contrast, I have lived in this area for 55 years. It is Palo Alto, California the center of Silicon Valley. Steve Jobs used to live three blocks from my house. This is an area that is made up a very wealthy people. Success is what counts. Children are under a great deal of pressure to the degree that there was a suicide cluster on the local train tracks. If you’re not successful, you don’t count. Further in the shops you are unknown. My wife used to know the people at the cosmetic counter in Nordstrom’s, which i is a department store on the West Coast of the US. I have known a lot of people here over 50 years and still it is a lonely place now that my wife and son have died. I am going back to Tuscany for two weeks arriving December 15 in Montevarchi. I will be staying with a friend that lives there but visiting my old stomping grounds and Siena. I will also be visiting the Veneto region. Hope you have a happy holiday season.

    In regard to the towels that are hung to dry, they need to be ironed to soften them back up. Pain in the ..., but it does work.

    My experience in London, as an Australian, has been that people are quite harsh and not friendly at all- except when you’re at a restaurant or cafe, even then they’re sometimes under the gun. Particularly when I’ve visited in winter people seem particularly miserable. I feel I need to go in peak summer- as I haven’t in my trips- and that they’ll be more friendly then? My husband lived there for a few years and loved it. I’ll add I’ve only visited London city. Whereas every time I go to Italy- wherever there- everyone is so friendly, especially so. Food wise- I’ve found it harder to find good food whereas in Italy it’s easy. I do research so I’m not going to the tourist traps. As an Australian though, we do like culinary/ food diversity so London definitely has more diverse food. Also we’re a bit spoilt in Australia for fresh produce. Plumbing isn’t always great in Italy, I never had instructions next to the toilets in London to put the toilet paper in the bin not the toilet. Seperate taps seem a thing in London? Italy is my favourite country and culture but I really want to travel more in the UK.

    Add White vinegar to the wash & the towels will be softer. Plus vinegar is antibacterial so it kills any germs on them. Of course you need to wash them with laundry soap too

    The key to soft towels is to AVOID fabric softener, hot wash (removes detergent residue), dilute detergent, baking soda with wash, and as you said Tumble Dry.

    • @cacatomas2342
      @cacatomas2342 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I wouldn't agree.. the key is softener and drying in a shade . I never tumble dry my towels, and they are beautifully soft.
      As she said, water is the most important thing.
      If it's too hard, you can't do much as it stays in a towel and makes it hard no matter what you do
      I am glad if your way works for you 🙂

    My Dad employed a lot of Italians in his factory in Australia and i allways found them so friendly and fun. Very family oriented and hard working. I loved England and felt very much at home there when i travelled with my parents in the 70’s era. My grandfather was a jeweller from Birmingham before he emigrated to Australia. He died in 1917 leaving 6 sons for my poor old Nanna to bring up!😢 Lovely to see Skye with her beautiful long hair! Happy travels to you both☀️🦘🌿🏖

    Awe, nice seeing Skye again. 👋
    The subject of different attitudes in different locations, I was reminded of this Russian channel I follow on YT. He said once that Russians don't greet you on the street like Americans do, like with a hello, or smile. To acknowledge your existence, they consider it "foolish". That always stuck in my memory because it DOES make sense. I don't know how many times in life I was nice to someone in the store or somewhere else and then they later on they cut me off in traffic or I somehow regret it somewhere else.🤣. I STILL am nice because that is my personality. You can just tell who is receptive to a smile or "hi" and who is giving "leave me tf alone" vibe. 😁

    I loved this lil chatty video. A lot of the ways from England we do in Canada, we say sorry all the time also, we say thank you a lot but less in big cities. I grew up in a smaller city so we tend to say thank you a lot more. Towels are soft also in Canada, just depends which kind you buy and its true if you live in the country the water is harsher. Costumer service has to be top also in Canada also, its plain rude to be ignored. If you decide to visit Canada one day you will see.😊 Someone bumps into me at the store or on the street I say sorry and they say sorry.😂

    Put some white vinegar in the rinse cycle and see if that helps soften the towels. We don’t use fabric softener but do tumble dry towels and they are soft. Maybe the vinegar would help!

    Lol I loved the thing about stiff towels in Italy and fluffy ones in the UK: it's not water quality (water is exponentially harder here in the UK!!), it's the sun that makes them harder/stiffer! They're lucky enough to not needing a tumble dryer all year round. However, if you tumbledry them they're softer than here.

    That was lovely! Thanks to Sky for her perspective, it was really interesting and so nice to see her! ❤
    I guess every place has its advantages and unique appeal and there will always be things that you miss from other places. You guys are pretty fortunate that it's so easy to travel to very different countries! As much as I appreciate my home country of Aotearoa/New Zealand, one does feel a little isolated and it's a big deal and expensive to travel to Europe.

    If you have a water softener installed and then rinse your towels in vinegar, not fabric conditioner - they should be softer.

    I would work at a non alcoholic based drinking bar! I’m the same as I don’t drink but occasionally I will enjoy here in New Zealand a Campari with ginger ale

    Italy has got incredibly vast array of all kinds of culinary delicacies, cakes , sweet food , savoury, home grown vegetables , olive oil and pastas, pizzas , salamis , persuto, parmigiano and christmas panetones , pandoros and so on and on and on , traditional and apsolutely delicious food and ingredients . So what i like about Italy is delicious traditional Italian food and they do not have a need for foreign food only small amount . It's important to keep identity of one's country .
    But if we would be left in England only
    with "English cuisine " and ingredients God help us . That's why you find so much more
    food abd restaurants from other countries in the last 30 - 40 years in England. Before than it was tasteless meager food . Do not forget there was not much sunshine then and food was not grown in England but "exotic food" like tomatoes and vegetables imported by plane from Spain and Italy . And as far as non alcoholic cocktails , I had my first one in Italian restaurant Carluccio in London and then another Italian restaurant Manicomio , non alcoholic Mojito , and that has been recent trend because people are becoming more mindful about drinking and wellness.

    Skye is a beautiful, composed and lovely young lady, I am a vivid follower of Positano Diaries so this was so wonderful to see and hear from Skye. I live in Canada but am British/Italian and I relate on so many levels to Positano Diaries, so thank you for these videos, they bring much joy to so many so far away. What bothers me most in Italy is the crazy Bureaucracy in Italy and too many rude assistants in big stores. Thank you all again for every week making me smile

    So nice to see more of sky. That was very interesting to see the differences between Italy and England. I would really love to go to Italy to do thrift shopping as I watch another gal who is TH-cam is about thrift shopping in Italy. But at 82 in a wheelchair I Don't Get Around Much anymore. LOL I really appreciate your new video blessings and love from New Mexico

    Try putting a 1/4 cup of white vinegar in when you wash your towels. It softens them up. Works great to keep the musty smell away too! (No, they won’t smell like a salad)

    I love your videos of the second-hand shops in Italy - OH the wrought iron!! If you can even find antique iron in the US, you can't afford it. As for the towels, when I was in Italy (Positano before your time) I didn't notice anything different about the towels. But then I like rough towels - good for exfoliating 🙂❤ Thanks for this video!

    Thanks so much Skye and Nicki. I think some of the differences in behavior is England is more diversified in cultures and Italy is a strong Italian culture except for tourists. So maybe they don’t interact as much with the tourists except for business and hospitality businesses. ????? Just my thoughts. Because I am 100% Italian. Born in the US. And my family especially my dad very much like Carlo was very friendly.

    Maybe try washing your towels with white vinegar. I do this at home and it does help my towels and sheets feel softer.
