you're such a wise prophet adam.
hmm, can't be bothered to add much to this except that
-I wasn't much of a fan of rome
-I have been to venice twice in winter and LOVED it. some cities are just better in different seasons
-throughout my whole life I have noticed that you get great customer service if you are a polite and patient customer. places such as restaurants and supermarkets, which may seem very familiar to us at home, work slightly differently all over the world and I think this is the cause of a lot of people thinking that other cultures have bad customer service. for example in australia, in most restaurants the staff are trained to greet customers at the door and seat them at a table. If the staff are busy, you wait to be seated rather than just picking a table. This doesnt seem to happen much at all in europe and so we had several awkward moments with staff wondering why we were hovering around near the door watching them! it's just little things like that which can sometimes turn into big incidents if people aren't understanding of different ways.
