    How Italians Celebrate Valentine's Day | Italian vs. American Valentine's
    Italians celebrate Valentine's Day a little differently than we do in America, a fact which I learned the hard way after a miscommunication with my Italian wife about our dinner plans.
    Happy Valentine's Day from us here at Pasta Grammar! We'll be back soon with a full-length video. In the meantime, please subscribe to our channel and give this video a thumbs-up!

But here in the north we normally get 5 to 10 minutes early to appointments. TBH I hate being late myself... yeah maybe it is the northern blood in me. But yes, I have southern friends who live here and when we set up an appointment they are always at least 20 minutes late. I've learned it and now I know I can chill out and be a few minutes late because they will meet me even later :-D
