things that suck and things that do part 2

things that suck:
-getting crapped on. I hear its good luck in italy, so maybe ill find the nearest casino.
-the manpri: this is the male version of capri pants. seriously, guys are wearing them everywhere. Ill give em a free pass while we were on the island of Capri, but anywhere else, no no no! Im willing to try and wear some european fashion on this trip, but you wont catch me in those speedo, manpris or deoderant-less.
-train and bus schedules in italian only. its a little scary stepping onto a bus hoping its going the right direction.
-Rome. seriously, its a dirty, busy, crazy city. I already knew this, but i wanted to point it out for anyone planning to travel to italy and just spend time in rome. sure, it might be easier to travel here because most things are in english, but if your going to travel here, get away from this place. definitely see vatican city, st peters basilica, the romon forum and the collosseum while your in rome, but i would have to say a trip out to the amalfi coast is a must see for anyone.
-being here during the soccer off season. im not a huge soccer fan, but i think i forgot whats sports is already.
-not eating fried chicken for over a week.

things that dont suck:
-pizza. unfreakin believable! I doubt all have a hot n nasty from little ceasars for a very long time.
-kinder eggs. better than a snickers bar, and it comes with a toy!
-staying at a small town like montepulciano. its clean, the views are wonderful. less tourists. more time to relax!
-St Peters basilica, and the Sistine chapel Michaelangelo was not only my favorite ninja turtle, but a pretty good artist as well.
-looking out your window in rome and seeing a portion of the roman empires fort and city wall still intact.
