the sweetness of doing nothing
Even if you don't know Italian, certainly you are familiar with the phrase "Ciao!" (pronounced: chou) which is used as an informal greeting or way of saying goodbye. Typically we use ciao when saying hello or goodbye to our friends or greeting people that you are acquaintances with. Typically you do not use "ciao," when you are greeting people you do not know... for example at the bank or in stores, it is more polite to say Buongiorno (good day) - use this in the morning or anytime before 3 or 4 PM. Buonasera...
