Burrr It's Cold

For the last two weeks Rome has been freezing and snowing. It hasn't snowed for 25 years and the children are going crazy in the snow. Everything is pretty much shut down when it snow, even if it is two inch (that also mean school :-)).

I haven't had a chance to go do tourist things in Rome yet. It is my goal for the next couple of weeks. Traveling around here has been getting a lot easier. Once you've learn how to work the tram and bus, getting anywhere is pretty fast. You can get direction in Rome from www.atac.roma.it and www.tuttocitta.it. They are really helpful because it has step to step guide and if you get lost it is easier to ask people when you know the name of the streets.

Places to go to while in Rome for fun are:
1. On the Rox
2. Drunken Ship
3. Studio 18
4. La Manison
5. Steelers Bar
6. Scholars
7. Sloppy Sam
These are the most popular places American students go to.  I'm pretty sure this list will get longer as my adventure continue.

Everything in Rome open up at 9 am, Lunch is 2-3 (they shut down) and closing is 8 pm. This is Monday thru Saturday. Many people here have small business and they open and close whenever they want. It must be nice to live on your own time schedule. There are not many places that are open 24 hours. However, I have found one pizza place and it has the best pizza around. The place is called VIP Pizza and it is located right in town.

Ciao for now
