They like the idea of being VIPs, but don't like their privacy to be breached.<br /><br />As for personal space - Italians stood far too close to me when I first arrived in Italy. Now I stand far too close to non-Italians that I worry some of them!<br /><br />Who knows how these odd aspects of culture come about.<br /><br />Good stuff!<br /><br />Ciao from Milano,<br /><br />AlexAlex Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489491982622975469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-4441826845575552182011-09-28T11:04:04.714+02:002011-09-28T11:04:04.714+02:00Great post, WL.
