cappucinos are a big thing in america mainly, i believe, because they are so delicious and less so for their aesthetic differences from the capitalist norm beverage of "regular coffee." cappucinos also have their place of esteem in italian culture but only before noon...for men anyway. apparently it is socially acceptable for men to drink those in the morning but after 1200pm you may be considered gay if you do so! the hetero conscience male's drink of choice is the espresso or the macchiato which come in tiny, little cups with tiny, little spoons on tiny, little plates.
personally that seems kinda gay to me, but what do i know i'm american.
now the interesting part is not that cappucinos have the cream that the other drinks lack or that they share similar amounts of caffeine despite the fluid ounce differences; the most interesting fact in all of this is that the italian men (the one's that will think you homo for enjoying an enjoyable drink after the forbidden hour) all dress very...confused. i don't believe a man wearing crotch hugging leather pants and a v-cut shirt that extends to his navel has the right to judge anyone else.
perhaps i exaggerate their flamboyancy, but it's still pretty bad.
i guess my point is that i couldn't give a damn what time it is, cappucinos are delicious and no teacup sipping, leotard wearing italino is allowed to judge me while looking like part of Prince's entourage.
lol well that's Italy for you everything is backwards except for toilets and stuff--that's Australia :P
