One way to the UK?

Well time flies when you’re busy actually doing work!!! Some days feels like I’m back at ASH – no just kidding, it’s still like being on a holiday whilst at work here.

Hmm so to continue from my previous posting… Whilst in Italy the usual predictable thing happened, in that the guys seem to think they are blessed with great looks and suave charm or that the girls there are all wearing wine-goggles or seeking an italian stallion to sweep them off their feet! NOT QUITE!

After our nice dinner, where I had the huge plate of muscles and the waiter was cute, we were walking back to Hotel Bernina and these guys were sort of following us saying stuff in our direction, and then they walked in front of us and Mara was like ‘oh good, i thought they were following us for a while’ and I was like ‘well at least they’re not yelling things too badly at us, like I could imagine in Egypt from what Ashley said they can be pretty full on’. So we cross a road, then the guys fall back behind us and start commenting again, and then finally they bring out the english ‘oh verry beautiful you arre’ or something like that, and so I was like ‘oi I can understand that one’ and the guys took that as in invite to walk next to us and have a good chat. hahaha. Found out they’re both Egyptian haha. Umm anyway after chatting about what we’re all doing in Milano and telling the guy that Australia is great, and that we’re not staying in Milan long and that yes we both have boyfriends and no we can’t remember out hotel’s name… the fella I was talking to asks ‘can i have yourra telephone numberr?’ to which I laughed and said no, so then he said ‘ohh okaya, well can I have yourra email then?’ to which again I laughed and said maybe not, I don’t think that would do anyone any good. And he was like ‘ohh, okay then, but you arre verry verry beautiful and yourra eyes are so nice’. ahahha keep trying matey! So finally at the next set of lights, I stopped and was like ‘Mara, this is our street’ and then we lost them thankfully (getting annoying!) and lost ourselves too hahaha. It took us a while to get back to our Hotel but it was a nice walk through central-ish Milano all the same!

Umm in Lake Como the weather was so nice and there were people everywhere! Mara and I found a nice patch on the very green grass to do some sunbaking – mind you we were clothed, not even in bathers! and I saw this oldish (okay, like 40) guy standing near the water looking our way, but we lay down on the grass to chat and sunbake, and then he walks near us and lays down, propped on his side (picture some model pose!) and lights up a cigarette (ugk) and we ignored him, but everytime I looked sideways to talk to Mara he was staring right at us! So I was like arggh creepy bastardo and sat up, and then he gets up and walks over, kneels right in front of me and is like ‘what isa yourra name?’ and I said not telling. So he says again ‘what isa yourra name?’ and I said not telling, and then ‘are you amerrican?’ and I said no! Now you can leave now and did the ‘shoo fly’ action with my hand. hahaha Mara and I cracked up laughing and he walked away! We laughed for quite a while actually, I think if I had have said ‘shoo fly’ it could have worked too as he seemed to know very little english! Must try that next time a guy’s bugging us in Europe!
