  • You will see the gypsies hanging around street corners, bus stations, train stations anywhere that there are lots of people they can beg from. They will hold out their babies to you who looked dead to me but from what I've read are just drugged and while they're sobbing their other kids are picking your pockets. DON'T STOP WALKING when you see them. You'll also see gypsies with deformities who are positioned on populated streets, begging. Again, don't stop.

  • My husband and I did a lot of walking this trip and the traffic was insane. I can't imagine how anyone drives like that day after day. Motorcycles zipping in and out of traffic, a complete disregard for traffic signals, and there aren't enough police in the world to stop all the speeders and dangerous behaviors that we saw. Rome has lovely public transit where you can let somebody else worry about traffic and that would be my suggestion.
