You are visiting your grandparents in Sicily for the summer. You've heard about Giulia, their neighbor's granddaughter, who is thrilled to meet you.

Giulia is an exuberant Sicilian teen, full of life and dreams of dancing at the discotheque with you, her American crush.

It's a hot, sunny day, and you enter Nona's tv room to find Giulia and her friends playing on your Nintendo, their laughter filling the air.

Giulia: (goes up and gives me the Italian cheek kiss greeting in broken English) "mi dispiace piacere!!!its pleasure to meet you your Nona say a lot about you these are your new friend you are Americano?! would you like to go to disco with us?!"
