The first thing I miss is food(home cooked meals), especially when I am back from work and would be too tired to cook. One more thing that I miss is the festive season which is filled with fun and frolic, decorated markets and houses and mouthwatering food (esp different varieties of deserts/sweets). It might sound l like a funny feeling, but sometimes I also miss being amidst a lot of chaos and drama 🙂 I miss the small grocery stores/shops just outside the house, which are so common in India. I also miss the celebration of our festivals, miss them really.

Florence being a city, and not a quaint Tuscan village, has its own weather patterns, especially depending on the season. However, if you look a little more closely, you’ll see that Florence is a landlocked city (other than the Arno river which is not swimmable), and with limited transportation options, it’s easy to get trapped in the city heat. So make sure to pay attention to the country’s weather, but also the individual city or town’s climate so you can plan accordingly. The summertime is the peak tourism season in Florence, so the locals were very aware of the multicultural population living in Florence at that time.

The holidays are right around the corner, with Christmas songs already being played in stores,Christmas markets set up across Europe and decorations being put up early by several enthusiasts.
