Bari on the Flipside
First trip to Bari since May 1981. The airport has changed beyond recognition. (Well, the whole town really). Some people even recognise me, which is surprising as it always gives me a shock to see the stranger in the mirror in the bathroom... More fish than I normally eat in a year - make that ten. Any more and it'd be like The Tin Drum... Even visit "the scene of the crime" - the procedure is still the same (choose your fish, wait for it to be cooked whilst eating vast quantities of ex-marine life...) . Do I recognise anything? The honest answer is not a thing... On the other hand, I can remember essentially every meal that I ate there, so long ago...
As the saying goes "If Paris had the sea it'd be a little Bari" (?)
Se Parigi avesse il mare, sarebbe una piccola Bari
Si Paris avait la mer, ce serait un petit Bari
Honto?
