Just a Few Observations

1. The stones in the street, not so good for wearing flip flops.
2. Lack of diversity in foods (pretty restricted to pasta and Chinese)
3. Italy has real history, that dates back more then 200 years ago.
4. Dogs are obedient
5. Homeless people are in surplus
6. Cars are a million times smaller
7. They even have cars with only three wheels
8. Trains seems to be a huge part in public transportation
9. Firenze in an extremely expensive city
10. McDonald's is a good $2 more in Italy
11. However, they have a different menu and their fries are definately better
12. A lot more people attempt other languages in Italy
13. There is a church on every street corner
14. There's also a cafe
15. Alcoholic beverages cost a minimum of 10 euro.
16. Grease is not a big component to Italian pizza.
17. You can't hail a cab, instead you have to call for one
18. You pay for the cab to wait for you
19. Italian men definately dress better
20. You never know when your gonna get hit on
21. Speaking English is seen as an attractive quality... much like speaking Spanish or something is in the US.
22. American music is very appreciated in Italy
23. It makes sense why Americans watch so much more tv, Italy certainly lacks for channels.
24. Italy still has to master the art of dubbing...some shows go back and forth between Italian and English
25. You can live without a dishwasher and microwave, but not a dryer. Airdrying causes both a loss of clothes from wind or extremely stiff underwear.
26. From age 10-80 people ride bikes
27. or vespas
28. Toilet paper rolls are smaller
29. Your not supposed to touch things like vegetables or fruits at the grocery store
30. Walking is the best way of transportation

Just a little food for thought :)
