What the hell is up with guys? I had one next to me on the subway who just wouldn't stop trying to talk to me about extraterrestrials and Batman. I learned from my sister that the one thing a woman needs most in Italy is dark glasses. If she has light hair, she should also have a scarf, at least in southern Italy. Making eye contact with men in Italy is considered a come-on, and light hair is fairly rare in some areas and marks one as a tourist, and an exotic one at that. The worst thing is to be identifiable as an American tourist, because Americans are known for being really obnoxious in other countries, and a lot of people seem to think that American women are "loose." I blame my friend Marissa for this belief.
creepy guys
