[@davidegaleotti94]

Please, Comune di Trani, give the man a honorable citizenship for the bidet thing :3

[@lauramoonwoman]

one of the things I loved the most about italy was all the places there were to sit and rest. In the same settings that you are finding water fountains, I found benches and stone ledge just about everywhere to sit and catch my breath and watch the people go by, before getting back up and getting on with the adventure of the day! by the way, love your earrings!

[@denisew3917]

3 seconds in, knew I liked those earrings. Water fountains are the best. When I visit family in Brindisi I like to take photos of them as each one is unique.

[@monikameiner6101]

I will move to the lake Como in spring 2022. I have to learn so much, but your videos will help a little bit. Thank you very much.

[@gengisjjjjjj]

Be careful, because Apulia is vero different from Como lake....

[@emanuelafrate8685]

Como lake is in northern Italy, it's completely different from Apulia where she lives. The landscape is different, food is different, people are different etc. Anyway, enjoy your trip! 🥰

[@manuelemariani8188]

Magic Lake Como, and in less than 1 hour, u re in Milan downtown :) awesome choice !

[@lislearnitalianwithsongs]

That of public water (“ L’acqua del sindaco“ as we sometimes call it) and its flavor has been a long debated topic. Of course for the environment water from the tap is by far the best solution. Also the water of the “acquedotto” is perfectly safe to drink and it is actually checked more often and thoroughly than mineral waters. There is, as we can read in many comments, an issue concerning the taste of water in some buildings or some neighborhoods of some cities. I live in a small village and water in small villages usually tastes quite good! But most of my friends who live in cities don’t have good water from the tap. In the last few years, in cities and villages alike, there has been a surge of “purified water dispensers“ where you can fill your empty bottles with water for a fraction of the cost of mineral water from the supermarket. You can also buy sparkling water there, And it’s really good!

[@ioanapirate7537]

Yes, sometimes the issue is the building's plumbing. The sindaco looks after the tubes up to the building, but from there it's up to the owners of the building to keep the plumbing up to date. So the on street fountains can have better tasting water than tap water

[@bethancona2291]

mi piace your earrings! I am American and own a second home in Basilicata. Our family spent the month of October there, and we used your videos for ideas of day trips and longer trips around the heel! Grazie millie!

[@texastomilandiyitaly]

Thanks for the video! AGREE 💯 with the air conditioner! We have 2 rooms that way here in Milan and COULD. NOT. LIVE. WITHOUT. THEM.

[@videotopica3957]

Un applauso a Connor! Bisogna diffondere l'uso del bidet nel mondo! Andate in giro e raccontate che è utile, comodo, igienico e non ha controindicazioni. XD

[@XMarkxyz]

Ciao, Katie, Mi piace le tue orecchini! Brava! Mi sono davvero divertita con questo video!

Hey Katie, thank you so much for the videos. Your experiences, along with your personality are a soothing balm in these somewhat dreary times. You probably don't realize how much your attitude helps to lift your subscribers spirits.

We've been enjoying watching your videos as we will be in Italy for 2 months this summer, walking the Via Francigena. Thanks for the great info - Michelle & Brian

Hey Katie, loved the video and "great earrings"! Enjoy your week also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tesslapointe5120]

I love your channel! I am starting to understand the need for a car. I will be in Lecce (from the states) in a few weeks for 4 to 5 months in early December. Trying to get to Verona for Christmas and it is an art to figure out the taxis, buses, trains and flight options. Buses to the airport don’t run on days flights to Verona fly and on and on. But it will be a welcome adventure. A car is also needed to see all the small towns throughout Puglia which are all worth the experience. I’m sure I will be renting a car off and on during my stay. Caio!

[@manuelemariani8188]

Take a train to Bari, switch train in Bari Central station, and go still by train, straight to the city Airport. Or catch a Bus to Verona (flix bus for example )

[@erinsbooks]

I use Tongs all the time when I make Pasta and I live in America. They are amazing.

Can I correct you? The correct phrase is "Penso che te e Connor siate favolosi" with the congiuntivo and the word "favolosi". Anyway, good luck with your Italian learning!

[@scottphillips6847]

Great earrings! LOL Your videos are always fun...all the way to the end!

[@marcomaio6707]

The taste of tap water being different may be due to the last stretch of plumbing inside the buildings. It may be very old and so it may affect the taste of the water.

[@eldapacitti7756]

I do love your earrings, and your quirkiness too!🇨🇦🍁

[@RebeccaGuldin]

Would loooove to see a video that further explains how to use all of those pasta tools

[@johndolewa8451]

Loved it. My Mom had a board like that which was used for cheese bread and a different one for pasta. Nice “quirky” earrings…

[@Khellendros_]

Water from the fountains is considered often "better" because it's usually plumbed to newer pipes.Older building's plumbing is often rusty or givin water a bad taste. Other times private and public waters come from different sources so it could really be different from the beginning.

[@NyreeAlana]

Mi piacciono molto i tuoi orecchini! 😃 I started watching your channel the other week and I really enjoy your passion for Italy, your upbeat vibe and of course your quirkiness 😘 In addition to that, a cool husband and an adorable dog!

The water of public fountains is considered better than the home wather cause generally it's wather comes from mountain rivers, naturally microfiltrated by rocks.

The bidet❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@backtosicily586]

Love the earrings, Katie!!! and love your fingers holding the number three, but you still went "American" on "number two" but more important, I'm with Connor on the bidet...I'm a new convert...three weeks and counting the joyful days...mostly because unlike my first AirBnb here in Palermo that had a good flushing water dynamics going...this second AirBnb is an older building with older everything including a toilet flushing mechanism that does not seem to ever want to take toilet paper away down the drain, so I've succumbed and surrendered to the bidet and have been pleasantly converted into a true believer like Connor, and lo and behold, whooo-ahhhhh! I feel "fresher" and "spunkier"! Who knew???!!! Is there "an American Real Men in Italy who love the Bidet Club in Italy" out there??? Connor, you're the national president and Chief of the Puglia Region, and I'll be the national treasurer collecting the membership dues using fuzzy math, and Chief of the Sicily Chapter!!! Lol! Too Quirky!

[@francescodibuono6344]

Belli gli orecchini! Ma lo avevo pensato gia' appena iniziato il video (per deformazione professionale). BTW about the bidet: you know it' s a very common trope here, wondering HOW do people in other countries do without, right? It' s common to share dramatic stories about trips on the subject

[@MarcoBissacco]

yes, the public water is better of bottle water, obviously depends even by your house, but the source is more controlled and have narrow rules than selled water, about this I have a question, is real that public water in America is bad at the taste?

[@jcs8568]

It depends on where you are. The best water I have ever had in my life was in the mountains where I was living in California once. But where I lived for university in California the water was terrible, much better here where I live in Italy now

Great insights as usual. I m like you, I don't get it why, in this country, they are so against Air conditioning. If you turn it on in the office, people start complaining about how cold it got, then, they immediatly wear a scarf, start complaining about a stiff neck and proceed with taping paper to the air outlet. We are such air conditioning babies. (and a little fun fact for you....during the summer, in the northern region, summer is hotter than in the south....way more humid...is horrendous)
