Dolce far niente. 無所事事的美好。
This week, I practice the sweetness of doing nothing.
這星期，跟義大利人學無所事事的美好。
目前地點：荷蘭 阿姆斯特丹
Current location: Amsterdam
義大利媽媽太美，我稱她拉法小姐，每天早上，問完要不要咖啡之後，她去美術館，下午我們對坐，我紀錄旅遊，她看畫冊，或是畫畫。
今天早餐的咖啡時間，她說維梅爾在市中心的美術館只有兩幅，她好失望。
然後我們討論了幾個自己喜歡的畫家，康丁斯基、馬諦斯、巴傑羅、梵谷、莫內，和幾幅自己最喜歡的畫。
This Italian Mama is a real natural and mindful beauty, I called her Raphaela.
She goes to museums in the morning or shop in local bio market. Sometimes in the afternoon, we sit face to face, I do travel blogging, she reads art books or do some paintings.
This morning she was a bit disappointed after the visit at Rijksmuseum. She came here to see Vermeer, but there were just 2.
And then some names flying over the table, Kandinsky, Matisse, Bruegel, Van Gogh, Monet.
這家靈性派/藝術味很重的義大利男人們現在半裸在煮蘑菇燉飯(各種帥)，拉法小姐叫我拍下來給台灣男人看😅 因為我跟他說我家都是女人煮飯。
The (artistic, very spiritual) Italian guys were half naked cooking mushroom risotto, Raphaela suggested me to take a picture and to post it after I told her in my family usually women cook.
(But I think the point here is not about which gender is cooking anymore.)
我問她，我們這幾天這樣算是無所事事的美好嗎？
Raphaela, is this so-called “ Dolce far neunte”? I asked her.
（it’s an Italian phrase meaning the sweetness of doing nothing) .
她抿著嘴，歪頭想了一下，說：還好。
“Not really”, she answered.
