On behalf of all the Italian men, and my wife who was just there, let me just say; prepare to have your ass grabbed.

Ass grabbing is only part of the Italian travel experience. An Italian once told me that there are 70 ways to express love in the Italian language, vs. 1 in English. Of course, he was trying to get into my pants.

yes, i have been warned about the immensity of ass-grabbage that happens. i'm totally prepared. i don't know how, but i am.
i will take millions of pictures and put them on flick for sure, so look for them there.
everyone be safe until i get back! no getting hit by cars or crap like that while i'm gone.
i'll see you all in 3 months.

1. Take your shoes to a cobbler. Have them replace your soles with Vibram's "Parade Sole". This is very important because parade soles are harder than normal shoe soles so they make a marching sound when you walk. They're most often used in military dress shoes, although you can get them put on many types of shoes including wingtips, loafers or heels.
2. Wait for arse grabbing to occur. Kick like a mule. Aim for the knee caps. The ACL is one of the weakest ligaments in the human body, and dangerously exposed. Krav Maga would teach you to go for the shin, then drag into a foot stomp, I like this target too.
3. This is key. You need to learn how to say something like "if you touch me again, I will incapacitate you, motherfucker" in Italian. Google suggests Se mi tocchi di nuovo, mi è incapace, figlio di puttana. I don't know how accurate this is. I suspect by this point anything lost in translation will have been sent via your foot though.
4. Turn and face your assailant and assume a fighting stance. Leading foot back, crouched into a small target, arms raised to the guard position, fists coiled. Make sure he knows you're a BAMF. If the fight continues (it won't if you did 2 and 3 correctly), be ready with a solid front kick. Remember the mantra: "I'm going to kick his head, his groin just happens to be in the way."
5. The arse grabbing will stop.
