I'm surprised and a bit disappointed. I thought Italy wouldn't be like that. I'd loved to go there. Someday :)
Well at least you won't be surprised as I was when I got there and saw that everything is in Italian. Take a train and go out of Rome to some beautiful country like Florence, Tuscany, the Coasts.
Some good outlet malls there.
When you get the chance you should go, I wouldn't have missed it because of the beauty, take an all day bus tour they will point out the important things to see but the green line bus tour wasn't very good. Vatican City was spectacular,saw the Pope and his Pope Jeep mobile.
Oh and also there were a few funny moments, I like Perrier water, well in restaurants they ask you if you want water with or with out gas. With perrier being with gas.
Once you learn the lingo you can get along :)
I asked where restrooms are, no response but ask where toilets are and that they understand.
