Quote: I have also discovered that my brand of appearance works very well here - I had a VERY attractive - no, actually he was HOT - waiter (not even serving my table) stop to tell me how beautiful I am, and then write a poem about my eyes and recite it to me on bended knee; an attractive businessman approach me as I ate alone one afternoon by the river, just to tell me he thought I was a "very attractive woman"; and numerous other passing comments (none lewd or offensive, just very polite and flattering).
