It has been way too long since the last time I actually went out for an after dinner drink or discotheque. It took me by surprise when my girl friends (Italian, young and pretty :p 23, 24 something) asked me to have a drink, starting at 10 PM. 😂 I am supposed to be in bed at that time. Anyway, however, I managed to make it. 😂 

The city center was desert when I arrived, there were small groups here and there, but it looks like a small peaceful town in Europe, with dimmed light, surrounding antique cathedral and monuments. It was absolutely pleasant at this time of the year in Italy, when the weather is not too hot, not too cold, around 18 - 20 degrees at night, little breeze occasionally, strong enough to blow up short skirts of trendy girls who are keen to showing off their long, straight legs with high tight boots. 😅

I have become a "real" Ferrarese who is prone to go everywhere with bicycle. I couldn't imagine Ferrara without bikes, a perfect means of transport to move around in this little ancient town, where everything is not too far to use cars but not close enough to walk. 

We had a drink and chit chat, exchanged news among each other, it could be random from pets to something more serious such as thesis or work and friends. there is a big gap between me and them, in the sense of age and experience, but it seems there is no gap among us. I am very glad and wonder if my "young appearance" contributes anything at all into such a fact. :D I do not look young in the Asian's eyes, but to the Italians or Westerners who cannot tell age of an oriental, I appear to be 23, 25, not more than that. When in a group of young girls, nobody doubt about my age. The girls are extremely sweet, this is the "side" result of going back to University, I had new good friends, who make my life more colorful, since they are completely different, new trends, new ideas, new lifestyle have been updated, which I almost forgot or was not aware of when getting along with too many married women with babies. :p 

They asked me "so you asked you husband to keep Asia for you tonight?" 

- Nah! I go out often and whenever I want actually. You know that. 😅 

- ahh! hahah! way too cool! 

It is a norm here (or maybe in many other places that I dont know of), that it is difficult for married women with kids to go out late at night and have fun. Night like yesterday is considered a "treat". It is a treat, because I havent met them for more than 1 month, but it is not a treat to go out and have fun thanks to my husband. 😄

I have another friend who has 2 kids. When she left home for a dinner or drink, or even for travelling alone, so many people commented "wow, your hubby is amazing", and her answer was "no, not amazing, i think it is a fair play, they are his kids, and it is his home as well". That's the spirit we should adapt and make it as a norm. 😎 I "bullied" my young friends "I dont wanna hear wee wee because of my son or my daughter when you have them, i dont want to hear any excuse for not going out when you have your family. Manage your home and your men!" 😆😛
