Dear Diary, Well i started talking to these people today and they invited me to join them for dinner at the La Rosetta. It is a fish restaurant in Rome where i had Squid with ginger and french beans. When i met them, the couple greeted me with a handshake. On the table was a bottle of lemoncello (alcohol), they told me i was only to have a thimble full because it was customary and i wasnt suppose to drink the whole bottle. As it turns out drinking without eating in Italy is frowned apon and wine is meant to accompany food, not to get sloshed. At the end of the night the woman gave me a kiss on the cheek as we said farewell.

I decided to meet with these people so i could learn more about customs in Italy and how they interact with each other.
