1. People walk their dogs around everywhere, you can see them even walking their dogs in shopping centres. At one point I was walking around a shopping centre that was like David Jones, only much more massive in size and with 10 floors of designer shops like Gucci and Prada. There were at least 3 dogs on leashes and other smaller dogs in people's bags. At one stage I saw 4 puppies in a pram at a shoe shop. Conversely, I have not seen any cats, besides one orange one outside a restaurant.
2. There are horizontally laid brick buildings. They look like they are made of wood, as the bricks are long and thin
3. It is possible to get tram/train passes (equivalent to a smart rider back in Perth), SIM cards and internet dongles without knowing much Italian, which goes without saying, but still, I'm quite impressed with my friends efforts.
4. Groceries are so cheap here. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them for the first time. Just as an idea, 3 euros can get you a good bottle of wine, 2.5 euros per kg for capsicums, 75 cents will give you a 6 pack of mineral water.
Once I get proper internet on my laptop there will be more photos coming up.
