Facts about Italy that you may not know

In short, Italy - is another reality. Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus - all for about the same mentality, behavior and lifestyle. Italy, and it will be about Rome, live differently.

Life in Rome begins somewhere at 8 am and ends at 9 pm. Even at 6-7 pm closing stores after work only nine bars. Do not have time to buy something - wait for the morning. On the street at this time only for tourists and afroitalyantsy ( xs, as here referred to as naphthalene ).

The biggest shock cause a woman in boots in 25 degree heat. In reality, one in three runs in the warm shoes, often with fur lining. Looking at this, can not help you reflect on the marketing of powder for the feet in. Men are not far behind - are warm jackets, Alaska, leather coats. In T-shirts and slapping run hither only for tourists.

Tea drinking here only tourists. Even without all the baristas know what is right for tea and coffee but the card is even in the mossy 10-15 bar includes coffee.

The store may be two rack with tomato sauce: thick, thin, with spices such and-so and so. Dr.. But it is unrealistic to find a tomato juice. There is here and vegetable juices, apple juice is almost no. Frankly, the juices are generally referred to as diluted drinks. Prevail juices: pear and citrus. For some reason, often comes across such a blend of orange, tangerine and carrot.

Kefir is also there, but full of cream for coffee, from half a liter to liter packs of different firms. But the yogurt is not. Bread, too, in the conventional sense is not here. People eat something like a baguette: hard crust and very soft crumb. Such a roll (and there are many different sizes and shapes ), cut in half, fill up inside the cutting of sausage, ham and cheese. T. e. you understand the oil here, too, not in honor.

A ticket in the underground works in one direction. T. e. If you have activated the card, but for some reason were not included in the perimeter, then the second time it has not already walk - be it a hundred times a reusable - you must ' go out' to deactivate the ticket and go again. We are on the first day on this great suck. In Rome, the two branches of Metro. Both did not even go to the ends of. And along the subway lines can be crossed on foot the city for two hours.

About the fact that Italians eat mostly fluffy pizza - complete garbage. Nowhere, in the center or in the back streets, not far from the tourist routes do not serve pizza magnificent - all this is very thin fried cake. If you 're in Rome - order a round pizza, it is more expensive, but costs almost double as well as slices ( pieces ), and at times delicious. If you find a place to lay slices on trays - run away. This will be warmed somewhat dry shit.

Pasta in a Pasteur - a complete fufel. Nasty cold pasta sauce. Look for where there is no ready-made pasta is served.

Museums in Rome - a profanation, and pumping money from tourists. The Hermitage is one of the exposure exceeds all the museums of Rome together. Museum and Latin - is 100-150 pieces for 5-15 euros. If you visit the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Attica and the Vatican - more than going to the museums do not.

Beer in Italy is. But 90 % - is Peroni, local Baltica, only three grades: regular ( type troechki ), national (such as Seven ) and strong (like nines ). There are still about five other varieties of small breweries and all. But wine - all different, and it is not familiar to us is divided into semi-sweet, semi-dry, and m. n. I have no idea how the Italians to distinguish. Of course wine is very tart. Tart lemonade here and in general any drinks. Love for a large number of ascorbic acid is felt everywhere.

Upstart is a lot, but live they do not interfere. Begging on every street corner, selling all kinds of shit, but if you said 'no', then depart. Perhaps the reason is - a large number of local police. These comrades - local guides for tourists and general complementarity itself: for example, we crossed the road and the cop in the car missed us, although we have only begun to move, he had the advantage of the motion and it blocked polulitsy. And until we crossed the road, the street was.

Here you can phot EVERYWHERE: on the street, in museums, cafes, shops, toilets. everybody do not care. The only thing is sometimes asked to shoot without flash to pictures or tapestries were not subjected to excess radiation. The only place where the phot you can not - it's Sistine Chapel, but also tourists snapping their okrikivali and ministers, but no action taken.

A detailed review with photos and prices will be later. There is still need to handle all. But, if briefly, the three days of Rome with the shopping is more than enough. On the fourth day you start to just live here.
