article: Italians rarely wear socks with sandals or white socks beneath trousers. On the other hand, they typically wear socks with closed shoes. They always match the colour of the sock to the colour of the shoe. When Italians do wear socks, it’s often very short socks not knee length or calf length socks. These socks are sometimes called “fantasmi,” which means invisible. This is especially important if you’re in a big city where safety could be an issue. Advertising that you are a tourist could make you a target.  The best way to look like a tourist fast? Wear a fanny pack or money belt. This just advertises that you’re walking around with money. Lugging around a backpack can also get you pegged as a tourist. You will want to carefully store important documents, and credit cards, in an inside pocket or front pocket so someone doesn’t pick your pocket. T-shirts, tennis shoes, and any shirt or sweatshirt with a slogan on it will probably make you look like a tourist. Slouchy and scuffed is out; fitted and impeccable is in. Nice fabrics go a long way. Italian fashion sense varies depending on what portion of the country you’re in. It’s a mistake to think there’s just one way to dress in Italy.  The main geographic differences can be found between the south and the north of Italy. Remember that Milan is in the north, and it’s a sophisticated city that is a major hub of the global fashion industry. The style there would be sophisticated and reliant on designer name brands.  In the south, such as in Rome, there would be more adherence to local traditions and trends that are not as contingent on the fashion industry. Dress more formally if you’re visiting a big city instead of a rural country town. Another difference to consider is that the north gets pretty cold in the winter, although it’s warm during the summer months, whereas the south is pretty warm all year round. In the summer, it can reach temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius in Rome. That's in the 90s in Fahrenheit. It can be difficult to predict the spring weather, which can seesaw between chilly to warm, ranging from 15 to 28 degrees Celsius (59 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit), with temperatures down to 10 degrees Celsius at night. Watch the forecasts.

article: Stamp cleaning solutions are especially useful, and may even be necessary, for solvent or alcohol-based inks. Try to use a stamp cleaning spray from the same brand as the ink you’re using, or select one that’s designed for use with your chosen ink formula. Stamp cleaners are also great for cleaning water-based pigment and archival inks. If you’ll be using and cleaning a lot of stamps, you may want to buy a specialty stamp scrubber pad from a craft supply store. Look for one that comes in a rectangular, DVD-like case, featuring bristly scrubbing pads inside on the left and right sides. If you don’t want to go out and buy a special stamp scrubber, you can easily make your own scrubbing or blotting pad using an absorbent but sturdy sponge or towel. Just be sure to place the blotting material in a tray to catch any drips.  Pick up a paint edging pad from a home improvement store. The bristles on the pad will provide lots of texture for deeper stamp scrubbing. Try using a dense sponge. Car-washing sponges and scrubbers will hold up better than kitchen sponges to the friction of the stamp.  Create your own blotting pad with car absorber towels. Cut the towels into squares and stack them in layers within an airtight container.

Go out and do what you love to do, and you'll meet people with similar interests. Youth groups, 4-H, summer camps, volunteer centers, churches, and community centers are all good places to start. If you're already passionate about sports, music, acting, or other extracurricular activities, make an effort to talk to the people you meet in those contexts. Most schools allow local homeschoolers to join after-school activities. Most homeschoolers have a flexible schedule compared to a regular school day. If you're bored while your other friends are at school, find other homeschoolers so you can visit them during the day. If you don't know any other homeschoolers, search online for homeschooling groups and co-ops in your area. Your local librarians may be able to help you find them as well. Homeschooling families often meet for group classes once in a while. This lets each parent teach the subject he's good at, and lets the students help each other on their work. Group field trips are another great way to meet people during "school" time. If you can't find a homeschooling group, look at public schools, churches, and community centers. Some of these offer classes that anyone can join. If you used to be in a regular school, you might have friends from that time. Don't let good friendships fall apart just because you don't see each other every day. You can still spend time together on the weekends, and talk to each other on the phone. If you feel like you aren't getting enough socializing time, have a conversation with your parents to see if you can figure out a solution. If you are responsible and old enough, they may give you more freedom to leave the house on your own. Teenagers especially should consider the following:  A driver's license or bicycle gives you the ability to go out on your own schedule. Getting a part-time job can lead to new friends among your co-workers. It also shows your parents that you are ready for independence. Homeschoolers often meet people with a wide range of ages and backgrounds. Ask your parents if it's okay to talk to the strangers you meet at different activities. Their answer will depend on your age and the community you live in. Follow your parents' rules, and remember not to give out your personal information (such as your last name, address, or telephone number) to someone you just met.
