  • Huh, interesting. I’ve been to Sicily on a student exchange. My experience was totally different, but it’s maybe because I didn’t stay in Palermo. I’ve been to Taormina and other smaller towns. It was beautiful, both the towns themselves, the nature, the weather and the view of the sea. These local towns are old and mafe for pedestrians, so almost no cars. All the local shops are run by mom and pop and everybody knows each other. They invite whoever is walking by the shop to eat lunch together. We took the bus from my host’s home to the neares town and we drove through lavender fields, it was amazing.

    Not to say your experience wasn’t genuine, but it sounds like it’s Palermo that wasn’t very pleasant, not Sicily in general. I would definitely recommend the smaller towns.

    It’s a study; I imagine they controlled for age and other factors if the article states the study “found”, not “suggested” or similar looser term. It’s not an opinion, but a result of a scientific process. Your dislike for term “gamer fact”, even if it’s a bit cringe, doesn’t change that.
