It has inspired me to write a new post on my blog which I'll publish soon...Also, it got me and my hubby talking about it and I now know his express wishes regarding this matter.Janet Bianchinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091873251779290222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705434510664520110.post-62731307174363364082009-05-10T22:09:00.000+02:002009-05-10T22:09:00.000+02:00Ok, this question will seem a little odd, especial...Ok, this question will seem a little odd, especially as i've only known you two comments ago and you have probably never thought about it and i hope never have to ...........but where would you want your remains to rest after you died?<br />Don't feel you have to answer if it is either too discreet or too weird.poppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976320013870023366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705434510664520110.post-4151461223523253622009-05-10T21:12:00.000+02:002009-05-10T21:12:00.000+02:00I was brought up entirely in Italian as my parents...I was brought up entirely in Italian as my parents and my grandmother always spoke to me in Abruzzese dialect and I always answered back in English. I find that is quite strange, really. I must have learned English when I went to primary school. My parents still communicate in Italian and I respond in English to this day. I definitely consider English to be my mother tongue, however, and I speak Italian with an English accent.Janet Bianchinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091873251779290222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705434510664520110.post-41333283768884383832009-05-10T09:13:00.000+02:002009-05-10T09:13:00.000+02:00It's interesting that you describe yourself as "su...It's interesting that you describe yourself as "suppose bilingual" .<br /><br />Like everything a lot depends on what you personally mean by bilingual - i have always considered the cultural context and associations that weave through language almost impossible to fully understand unless you lived that time and place.<br /><br />So much is communicated and understood by what is in fact unsaid.poppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976320013870023366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705434510664520110.post-20586659053578602842009-05-09T21:25:00.000+02:002009-05-09T21:25:00.000+02:00Hi

It's amazing how one comment on a blog can lead to new insights and horizons.<br /><br />I have driven a mini and loved it. For me, it is the quintessential "English" car even though it is now owned by BMW..<br /><br />My parents are both Italian and I was born in England and lived there most of my life until I moved to Italy in June 2008. I suppose I am "bilingual" although my Italian isn't very good. <br /><br />I have often been asked this question: "Do you consider yourself to be English or Italian?" My answer has always been "English, but my blood is Italian". <br /><br />JanetJanet Bianchinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091873251779290222noreply@blogger.com
