Tom's Top Ten
1. Not having to put the seat down.
2. Wearing the same clothes every other day and showering once a week really isn't that offensive.
3. Small town life(especially Polverigi) beats the hustle and bustle of Rome anyday.
4. Autostrade - kilometers or miles per hour, it doesn't matter, you still get to do over a 100 of them and it's legal.
5. You really can't get tired of eating great tasting pasta everyday.
6. Italian is a beautiful language to listen to even if you only have a working vocabulary of five words: "Ciao, Silvio, une cappacino, une paste chocolata, une pizza. Gratsi."
7. Ryanair.com - one way ticket to anyplace in Europe for under a $100, just don't bring a lot of luggage
8. Knowing that I still have three months before I go back to school.
9. Grappa.
10.Wireless internet connections so you can work from the patio of a 600 year old villa.
