I got up early in order to catch two buses to the eye clinic on the other side of the city. I made sure to take buses well before my 10:30 am appointment time so I wouldn’t be late, mostly so that the doctor wouldn’t just skip over me, a little in order to “fare bella figura” (make a good impression.) I showed up at 10:20 on the dot and found my way to the waiting room.
And wait I did.
For two and a half hours.
Now I’m not saying that we don’t ever have to wait in the U.S, but two and a half hours for a 10 minute visit? Really?
I guess there are some things about Italy I will never understand…
