We're not going to waste your time telling
you how to order "the right thing" in a trattoria here.
Our Italian's not even fluent enough for that. We also refuse to drive in Rome (not on the motorways anyway - they're all nutters with a deathwish!) But what we are trying to do here is lay down as much hard intelligence of the sort which can help you rise above the many varieties of Italian bullshit that you'll encounter in Rome. Did you know for instance that if you're planning to stay long-termish in Italy, you must report this fact to the police within a week of your arrival and obtain a special permit to stay here. And don't imagine that being British (ie, an EEC citizen) makes you exempt from all this palaver - it doesn't. Follow the links to learn more... |
The Romebuddy offices, in the heart of beautiful Rome. My office window is at middle right. I can't see the Forum too well from there as it faces east, but there's a lovely shady balcony to lunch on and MacDonalds is just around the corner.
A hot-dog stand near the Roman Forum. Yes it does spoil the view rather - On the other hand, Rome can be pretty knackering and thirsty work for a tourist on a hot summer day. Snack bars and trollies abound at all the beauty spots, which is better than the catering provision I can think of at a number of British tourist spots. Expect to pay at least two dollars for a coke on the street, but you'll certainly find you need it. |
