Reality Check

Ha! So I am going to Naples, Italy in June. I am really excited, and I can't wait to eat pizza in the place where it was invented. My current Italian class is trying to prepare me, but I don't think I'm gonna be to the level I would like... I was Youtubing when I found that previous prostitute video... No it wasn't what you think. I came across these two videos put out by Aljazeerah or whatever...

Hey, at least trash hasn't collected in the streets here... and The gangs don't rule the city... Yet!

  1. Authentic Neapolitan pizzas are made with local ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, which grow on the volcanic plains to the south of Mount Vesuvius, and Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, made with the milk from water buffalo raised in the marshlands of Campania and Lazio in a semi-wild state.

    Buffalo milk! Eeehyo!

    Good lawwd there is a lot of tail in Naples... I'm gonna have to come visit to investigate.

    Lastly, you can't be all that surprised with the corruption, this is the land of the Cosa Nostra... read on...

    What is probably the earliest detailed account of Mafia activity comes from the memoirs of a citrus plantation owner named Gaspare Galati in the 1870s. After firing his warden for stealing coal and produce, Galati received threatening letters demanding that he rehire this "man of honour". Two successive replacements he hired were shot, but the police failed to find any evidence implicating the "man of honour". Galati's own inquiries led him to believe the "man of honour" was part of a group known as a cosca, based in a nearby village and led by a local landowner and former revolutionary. Many such groups existed that disrupted citrus plantations to either extort money or buy them at low prices. Worse still, these groups appeared to have allies in the police and local government. Galati gave up and fled home to Naples.

    Da Duh Duhnnnnnnnn!
