Of course, it's probably not understanding the language that makes them appear so pugnacious - I can still remember seeing Italians in Italy, and thinking they were angry [loud voices; arms waving; smaller-than-comfortable personal space (from the English perspective)], but now I understand they were just being...

A good reminder that not everyone's world view is the same as my own, and it doesn't make either of us "right" or "wrong", just different.
