Asian tourists blown away by the barista at “Il Pianeta del Gelato” Amalfi, Italy 🇮🇹 🍋

From Arthur de Gobineau's travels in Persia: Dargout, an eccentric and notorious unemployed Frenchman who traveled repeatedly between Constantinople and India with no possessions besides a sabre and flageolet, was infamous for making himself at home without invitation or much formality in the homes of European consulates and residents while displaying arrogance and contempt for everyone around him. He judged sovereigns and nations harshly, was quick to take offense and draw his sword, and had no tolerance for courtesy or diplomacy. His behavior in bazaars was particularly offensive. He would rudely lift the women's veils to examine their faces, then insult them by calling them ugly, and walk away indifferently, completely deaf to the public outcry. Remarkably, he accomplished these travels without knowing a word of Persian, Arabic, or Turkish. One wonders how he survived in such conditions for so long.
