I have a friend named Bridget from the same city as me in Canada who also shares my love of Italy and in fact came to Italy last year on the exact same visa as me. She's been a bit of a saving grace when it comes to me needing to randomly rant about a country that is not our own. I call her an expat as well because she is currently in Australia, find her blog Bridging the Gap here. Just thought I'd share this fun status of hers, I felt like it sums up a pretty perfect day in Florence (although mine would have a bistecca alla fiorentina in the mix followed by some fever-ish dancing with Americans and Aussies at Space Club).
Ok, I meant for this to be a short and sweet post but now that I mentioned Space Club in Florence, I just have to recount a story about the worst (or best depending on how you approach it...) Italian pick-up attempt possibly ever.
Space Club, Florence. Summer 2012, sometime after midnight.
Me: (dancing)
Random Italian: (something in Italian)
Me: I don't speak Italian (don't pretend like you don't all use this line when it suits you!)
Random Italian: oh, ok, ho capito (walks away)
Me: (dancing)
Random Italian returns, takes off his shirt, points at himself and then gives me the thumbs up.
I should point out that what makes this so much better is that the poor kid was probably 15, tops. However, it's just to show that there must be some really 'easy-going' tourists in Florence- this method must have worked on someone in the past! Cin cin!
