It is far more relaxed.
Where one actually takes the time to sit back and relax and appreciate what's going on around!
The cafe culture is lovely. One can just go and sit in a cafe, drinking a latte, licking some gelato ice cream, and watch people going by their daily business.
There is much to be said for this culture. Living in London currently, everything is so clock-watched and busy.
It's a pleasure to be somewhere where one doesnt feel hassled to move along, but can just relax a while.
