| CarefreeDude 10/26/17 1:59:31 PM #18: | -Komaiko54- posted... What's wrong with Italy? I'm currently learning Italian ;( -nearly every road is a toll road - i spent easily 300 euro on tolls. -speed limits are really low -speed cameras everywhere -roads outside of toll roads are in really bad condition -anywhere to buy food is open in weird hours. only during lunch and dinner time. -rest stop food only consists of bread, meat, and junk food. -the southern part of italy south of rome is extremely trashy. I mean that in the most literal sense. there are bags of trash everywhere due to the cities not wanting to pay the mafia. -everywhere that isn't a tourist destination is extremely run down. -fancy hotel made my wife wear a top at the pool -cinque terre local authorities will issue expensive parking tickets to tourists even if they are in designated parking areas. -my wife was groped several times by Italian men. -corrupt police officer pulled me over for no reason and forced me to pay him a bribe or else he would arrest me -several places refused to serve us for being tourists. -tourists cities were horribly overcrowded Overall it was a bad experience. I did have a few fun times, like Rome was cool, I got to hang out with nuns on a beach, and venice was awesome, but overall italy sucked. --- 3DS friend code: 5112-3770-6561 IGN: Chris Rock Safari: Pupitar, Rhydon, dwebble ...
