Sister said:On a separate note, Dupree: I saw the ad for that movie called You, Me and Dupree on the tube the other day and thought about you.
Dupree said:When I was in Rome this guy who must have been about 14 came up to me and was like 'where are you from?' and I was like 'England...erm...why?' and he was like 'where? Where in England?' and I said 'Near Southampton, you probably wouldn't know it,' and began to warily step away and he said 'Oh! Southampton, a magnificient city!'. I was thinking 'yeah right, kid...which Southampton have you been to?'. There were many others though...in the beginning it was scary and weird but by the time I left I was kinda used to it. We were in a hotel for teens though, so maybe it was just because of that.
I also got a few slip of paper under my hotel room door saying stuff like 'ciao bella'.
They've certainly got some balls.
So I agree with you, Sister. It's definitely in their blood!
Sister said:I agree, Italians definitely have it in the blood!
Sister said:Why all the hate?
And you are indeed generalizing.
I personally hate the unwanted attention more than anything else. And I have to admit that I was slightly apprehensive about it on my trip to Rome, but there was absolutely nothing like that. And I think there is a big difference between South and North and probably capital and more rural areas, like everywhere else in the world.
Plus you have to accept the cultural differences. What might seem totally inappropriate in one culture, may be the norm in another.
(This whole discussion should probably be in some other thread, not to distract the people who just want to see the pictures.)

hey JeanneDarc - do you have any pics of you flirting? I bet many a member would like to see how you work it....JeanneDarc said:Personally I'm a flirt myself, so I don't have a problem with it. But they should not overdo it of course.

I hope the "wedding picture" was "Photoshopped", if not, ummmm.....
