In no other part of the world do I ever smile in pictures… except Italy. Hmmm. For all the doubters who said it was impossible for me to smile in a picture take this picture as proof of my smile-a-photo-ability.

Tightly wound hooded sweaters was the most raging and popular fashion. If you didn’t get your hood diddy on in Udine… you were a NO-BOD-Y. The tighter you wore them around your face equaled the coolness to which you were perceived by others. Who knew a Vienna Japanese film lover would create this fashion trend by mistake!?!

Forget sharks with laser beams. All I wanted to find in Udine, Italy was a pizza with some freaking meat. However, all I found were pizza joint after pizza joint only offering up vegetarian pizzas. I asked locals about this. Apparently in Udine it was the big pepperoni drought of 2007 prompting many to listen to Lionel Richie’s greatest hits again and again… pining for the day when pepperoni returns.

Honestly I didn’t ever expect to find a sign that was an official city sign directing people to Playboy fun times. They say Europe is more open minded and this sign is certainly proof (with a cute bunny wabbit no less — insert follow the white rabbit Matrix reference here).

In Udine, Italy Kim Hye-soo (South Korean actress) is more popular than Jessica Biel (tabloid actress).
