Living away from home spots, as many other things, two faces of a coin. Let’s try and make a list, or just write down what comes to my mind!

From Como to Zürich, the center of Europe

From Como to Zürich, the center of Europe

I’m living in Zürich, Switzerland, away from Como, Italy. The distance is not prohibitive, around 3 hours and a half by car (no speeding!) and three hours and something by train. Nice!

THE GOOD

  • Parents – living alone, well, with two other pals (colleague of studies and adventures), surely has as a pro the fact that parents aren’t around. Want to sty up until 3A.M. or eat at 14:00? No problem!
  • Cooking – having a passion for it really makes me experiment a lot!
  • Inhabitants – staying around with friends who share common interests can’t be beaten!

THE BAD

  • Ironing – probably the worst part of it all. It takes much time, things never come out as pretty as mom does them and burns are always behind the corner

THE UGLY

  • House cleaning – it’s not a very bad part, but it’s a really repetitive job, therefore becomes boring (spicing it up with music and jokes while hoovering or washing the floor and toilets it’s good and alleviates the boredom)
  • Foodshopping – not that bad, but man, it eats up time, much time. And without having a car around makes it a bit heavy, at times. Well, when we have to get the milk at least!

Have any suggestion for the list? I’ll be more than happy to update the list, if your comments apply to me as well! Let me know, I’m interested!
