Doan be scared to use jelasho as a bribe. This is mine superpower, right, Nan want gelato in a day, It's fine. They're gonna spit it off. They're going to run it off. You're doing twenty thousand snips. Let's be generous with gelato and you can make a game out of it. What's your favorite flavor?

Italy does sell nappies, diapers and wipes, so yes, bring enough for the plane, but you don't need to bring two weeks worth. You can get them in supermarkets, the pharmacy, et cetera.
