Popular Post Costas2008 Posted October 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2014 When in Rome…………… 1. Drive like a lunatic on the roads. 2. Do not wear seat belts 3. Drive under the influence of alcohol 4. Let another 2 or 3 or 4 people ride with you on a motorcycle 5. Never wear a helmet 6. Eat on the floor like native Romans do. 7. Accept any substandard service provided by the restaurants. 8. Accept being treated as invisible by other Romans. 9. Treat other non-Romans as invisible in public spaces 10. Never confront a native Roman as you can land in hospital or in the morgue. 11. Do not pay any attention to the soi dogs attacking your legs 12. Pay 5 times higher than what the Romans pay to enter a site of interest. 13. Never attempt to greet a Roman Lady with a kiss. 14. Do not complain about spicy Roman food, if you don’t like it starve. 15. Do not complain about Roman manual labour, if not satisfied do it yourself. 16. Do not complain about Roman police, it’s the best police force in the world, money can buy. 17. Do not complain about the weather being too hot in Rome, if you don’t like it go to Thailand. 18. Do not complain about being called “farang” by the Romans, nothing sinister here. 19. Do not complain about being followed in the shops by staff. 20. Do not complain about anything in Rome, if not satisfied it’s always Thailand waiting for you. I do understand that this is a non-Thai related topic and not of much interest to people living in Thailand, but sometimes we have to acknowledge how people live in other countries. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in Rome, Sir? Please tell me more......always open minded about other peoples way of living and habits. Unfortunately, living in Thailand and being an old fart, I doubt I will ever be able to taste the delicacies described on your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costas2008 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 What's wrong with you? Domestic problems? Lighten up. Is that you, Dr Will? You should know by now after treating me for a long time, of all the problems I have. But always have faith in your kind self that you will give me the right advice. Only the "Lighten up" can't understand. Are you suggesting, I should go on a diet? OK, I will seek advice in the I'm too fat forum. Always a pleasure to hear from you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyumiii Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Where is the anti- Rome bashing brigade? Poor Rome, no one to defend it on TV. Maybe if this was on the Rome Visa site it would get more of a reaction??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer, you just ruined my day... You should read newspapers more often.....they had some troubles the last 2000 years. I think the Germans caused most, but now since they are all in North Pattaya the situation in the Roman Empire might improve again in a few hundred years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
