OH MY GOD you are so correct. Metrosexuality is a way of life over there........even when you're outside of the big cities. For some reason we were constantly running into large groups of teenagers...........and even when we were hiking the trails of Cinque Terra (+80F and sunny) we'd see them in their designer jeans, leather shoes, fancy sunglasses and an excessive amoung of jewelery.

It was a constant source of amusement for us.
