Guidettes and the "Ciao Bella"

Ok, a lot of people have been asking me about the guidette situation. Well, it's not as easy as it looks. I've learned a few lessons about Italian girls. A lot of them look a lot older than they actually are. For example, we were talking to a few girls who looked like they were in their mid 20's, but later we found out that they were actually 16. Most of them are horrible at speaking English, but their accents and looks make up for it. Talking to one of them is like taking an exam, so I have to study my Italian notes every night before I go out. First impressions are out the window.

They HATE the "Ciao Bella!" I tried taking an approach like Will Ferrell in A Night at the Roxbury. Ciao Bella...1...2...3...4..Ciao Bella...1...2...3...4..Ciao Bella...1...2..etc. Neeldess to say, it did not work. When you say to an Italian girl "Ciao Bella," its like saying to an American girl "Hey Baby" and we all know that American girls don't like that.

For now I guess I'll have to hit the books and keep practicing.
