When in Rome...

...act like a Roman.
In one day I found out quite a few things:
- You really can fight your way out of passing out when you realize that if you did indeed pass out, you would fall into an ant hole. Not ok.
- Breaking your headphones upon taking the first step of your run is maybe the worst thing since... I don't even know.
- It is important to keep in mind that the Euro is not equal to the dollar and what may seem like a bargain is simply your mind playing tricks on you and forgetting that you're not looking at a price system based on the US dollar.
- If it's not food related, EVERYTHING is more expensive here.
- You can get back serious about preparing for a toga party.
- Watching Asians fight in the Metro with very thick accents but speaking in English is really quite hilarious.
- Getting winked at by an old man then not 5 minutes later getting winked at by an old woman is not and never will be ok.
- Sometimes sitting on the subway and just watching people is the best entertainment going.
- Screw Edward Cullen, Jamie Fraser is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
- You really can find disgusting wine in Italy, and yet still find yourself drinking it.
- Latin is extremely hard to read when in a very strange font, kneeling in front of people who can actually speak Latin who are yelling at you every time you mess up, having no light but two torches and really having to pee.
- The more you drink the less toga you want to wear.
- Wine really stings when it's being poured into your eye.
- It's all fun and games until you make really drunk people who are already tripping over their togas run through an obstacle course... then it's the best thing ever.
- Pistachios really hurt your teeth when you try to eat them without taking off the shell.
- Waking up with extremely painful and very dark bruises that you don't remember having the night before are really quite annoying.
- Being the only one who was sober the night before makes looking at the other people in the morning HILARIOUS.
- A whole pot of espresso, milk, biscotti, listening to the rain and having an internal debate over whether or not Lady Gaga could wear any less clothing and not cause a scandal in the Middle East makes for a lovely breakfast.
- Pouring hot espresso over gelato is the best idea maybe ever.
