Italian guys are funny. Its totally normal for people to just stare at other people here in Italy. Like guys can totally be checking out a girl and nobody thinks anything of it. In fact, people can just stare at other people and its completely normal. I'm still not used to it and I try to stare other people down if they look at me for too long. But I do enjoy watching the Italian guys just because they're creepily funny. Perhaps if I hang out with them more I'll adapt some of their traits, haha. I'm still getting the hang of approaching Italian girls. They don't seem to be quite as receptive of foreigners as American girls are of European guys. I don't know, I think I need to drink a little earlier for the liquid confidence. Ha.
