One thing that is really big in both Filipino and Italian Culture is emphasis on family life. It seems both cultures put a priority on spending time with family members and making sure other members of the family are taken care of. It's kind of cool that on two sides of the world, there will be a "mash up" of sorts of two cultural family interactions. Back in Florida, Francesco who just recently moved to Gainesville will be headin up to Orange Park to spend time with my family. He'll definitely get a good taste of my family life as he'll be going to my nephew (cousin's son) Nathan's 4th birthday out at Jax Beach. He's also planning to teach my mom how make to his special lasagna.
On the other side of the ocean, my research friend Corrado invited me to his hometown of Priverno so I can meet his family. Priverno is about 50 km outside of Rome. He goes home every weekend to spend time with his family and friends, so I am really excited to see what makes it so worth it for him to go home every weekend. I'm hoping I get a chance to meet his grandmother, too.
