At
least Naples cares about its garbage problem.
Here in Rome, especially outside of the tourist areas of Vatican City and the ancient ruins around the Colosseum, people don't give a shit if there is garbage or graffiti all over the place.
And if the garbage doesn't kill you, it's likely the drivers will, although my nephew, who has traveled many places around the world, says Saigon and Thailand have worse drivers than those in Rome.
I had a good time today going to the Colosseum and the surrounding areas despite losing 70 Euros when I dropped them on the ground. That kind of pissed me off.
We are supposed to go to Naples and Pompeii tomorrow, so I may not be able to blog for a day or two.
