I figured by now I should write about some of my favorite things about Rome, or Italy in general, so here goes:
1. the best cappuccino i've ever had
2. cheap pizza with tons of different toppings...potato, eggplant, prosciutto, zucchini...that you
can buy by the kilo
3. turning around the corner and BAM! there's something ancient
4. public transportation that, in practice at least, is free
5. the kosher butcher shop across the street from my apartment (see Vanessa's blog for an
interesting description)
6. cafes with free wireless
7. saldi (sales) at every store in January
8. drinkable tap water

And to balance it out, things I'm not so fond of:
1. the mopeds that zoom past you on teeny little streets where you have nowhere to jump out
of the way
2. people in our part of town aren't real keen on cleaning up after their dogs...
That's about it, actually.
