By the way, I love Italians (have many Italian friends now)! It only happened once to me in Italy, I had been to Italy several times after that and it has always been pleasant aside from that one time... Cheers! Cathy Hi Alice,

I don't know what that bugs me more than the rest. How strange! What made you think it had to do with your being Filipina? I'm curious because I'd like to visit Rome one day.

I actually experienced other events in other European countries: Vienna, Austria - an old woman shouted at us " go home foreigners" in German while on a bus. Zurich- saleswomen gossiping about me that I am not nice and impolite in their language (what they don't know is that I understood everything they said) Spain- my cousins were also thrown out of a shop with the saleswoman shouting "pobre" (beggars or something)! etc etc. Now, actually, I just hold my head high and not care.
