10 things I learned about Italy

The country is full of Jose Mourinho look-a-likes (fine, he's not Italian but you get the drift).

The country is full of lao chios that look like Sophia Loren.

It's a hell lot sexier to pronounce places names in Italian: Milano, Firenze, Roma, Lago Maggiore, Fontana di Trevi, Toscana etc.

There is NO free public toilet in this country. The most expensive was 1 euro and cheapest was 0.30 cents euro.

If you're travelling with a toddler, DO NOT, under any circumstances use the baby stroller on the cobble stone paths. Your kid will thank you for this.

Chinese food is way cheaper than the national grub of pizzas and paninis.

Forget Prada. Lug home Carpisa by the bulk instead ;p

Romans cringe before shaking their heads piteously when they hear you take cappuccino with your American breakfast (they're thinking "bloody Americans!" in their head)

Roma has more genuine Egyptian obelisks than Egypt itself

Starbucks does not exist here, to my utter dismay!
