1. Wear good walking shoes with a thick sole, because there are cobble stones everywhere. I don't know how the Italian women are walking on them with heels! I can barely do it with Target sneakers!
2. They charge the food more when you sit down to eat, rather than get it to-go.
3. Always ask for tap water first. If you ask for water, they will charge you for the bottle, and it's expensive.
4. You don't ever tip the waiters! They get paid enough to not be tipped. Awesome.
5. There are barely any street signs, so you have to be super observant of your surroundings.
6. Italy in the mornings are the best. The air doesn't smell polluted, and it's nice to walk outside, especially when the weather in June is an average of 80 degrees.
7. Rome gets started late compared to the other countries I've been to. I thought people outside of the U.S. start their day at 5am, like the citizens of Vietnam.
8. All Rome citizens doesn't dress as nice as I was told, but when they do, they look good. I'm more impressed by what the men wear then the women. I love looking at their shoes the most.
9. There are no lanes on a lot of the streets in Rome. I don't know how I don't see an accident everyday. I thought a city like this would be up to date on that.
10. Italy at night is extremely beautiful. The lighting on the fountains are amazing, and the entertainment on the streets are just lively.
I'm truly in love with this city. I will post pictures soon as soon as my computer has internet access. I'm currently using a friend's computer, so I don't want to load all 200 photos on hers. Also, I have food poisoning and am missing a trip to Pompeii. I literally cried just thinking about what I'm missing. Pompeii was one of the cities in Italy I have dreamed about going for years. Oh well, there's more to see, and today will just be a nice personal day of exploring. Anyway, time to take a walk around Rome.
-Ciao!
