More Than A Trip

Taking a trip to an unknown city and an unknown country is great; but to travel is more than that, it's the opportunity to learn, meet new people... and that's exactly what we did. 

• Familiar language but true: one has to say Ciao for both hello and goodbye!  
• You really need to have a cave full of water because it's the price of gold.
• Be careful, this does not work for airports: even small 50cl bottles will not do. You don't have to tell Eva and Quentin that, they speak from experience. 
• One has to be careful in restaurants; like in the USA, waiters will cost you extra. This is unlike anything you would see in France. It does not cost much but you do have to pay attention.
• Unlike the French, Italians do not wait until the people on the bus have gotten off to get on it.
• It is dangerous to walk in Italy, cars are ruthless.
• Scusi becomes your favourite word in Italy.
• The Galleria dell'Accademia is much smaller than one would expect, but the Galleria degli Uffizi is on the contrary much bigger.
