Well, if you have time to spare, do some research. Rome has a shitload of things to see. Don't have a lot of time? Find a bar/pub (not a club) and sit down and have a few drinks and ask the locals what they would recommend. The latter has never failed me. Have a blast. :)

half the threads on this board have nothing to do with bodybuilding, so who cares?

Seems to make sense. I work in a real smart bar now iwth good respectable people. Its surrounded by hotels, tourists always come up to me chatting asking where to go.
I only found out a few hours ago i was going...saying that Im sure my dad wouldnt mind me having a walk about with him lol while my sisters all go do fucking girly shit lol
Sadly i dont speak any italian...my mum and sister speak a bit though i dont speak one iota
-
I'm going to Los Angeles Wednesday. Then I'm going to Washington on Saturday. Then I'm going to Houston next Tuesday. Any suggestions on what I should do?
I'll update everyone on next week's itinerary as it develops.
::)
Any chance you'll be making any visits to Dubai, India, this year?
-
I thought you were European?
To hear your average America-basher tell it, all Europeans are world travelers from birth. ;D
I aint no USA basher at all.
Yep Irish, sister getting married in Rome.
-
I'm going to the U.S of A on Thurs! no, wait.... oh :( I just wanted to fit in.
-
Nobody gives a fuck where YOU or OTHER members are traveling.
NOBODY
-
I'm thinking of heading to Philly.
Anybody know of any good cheesesteak houses?
-
Im heading home after work in about 10 minutes. Might even get a couple valcano tacos on the way.

No way! :D

Hade some saturday, they are fucking delicious!

Well I was thinking of finally getting my ass outta bed, but after that opening line....forget it. >:(
-
I wasn't saying YOU necessarily were, just Euros who post on Getbig in general.
true...as they sit sipping their coca cola in their nike runners using windows XP
-
For some reason that never works for me. Last time I was in a bar in Rome, I think I loudly said something along the lines of, "Hey, yo, all of youse need to quit speakin' that monkey crap... I can't understand any of you grease-balls. Hable Ingles? ::)" Oddly, the locals didn't seem to take to me very well that night.
LOL. You revealed yourself as the crass American tourist cliche? No surprises at your reception, then.
-
In about 10 minutes I'm going to travel to a Walgreens to buy a Starbucks vanilla frappacinno in the bottle. Then I'm going to travel back here.
Say, did you know Goudy will be traveling to Rome next week?? :D
Ohhhh I did not know that? :o Did he tell us somewhere?
-
Trevi Fountain, at night.

thanks

I wish you a happy trip, my friend. Rome has some of the most beautiful girls in the World. Chestnut and almond hair, light eyes or brown ones that are tinted with greenish and blueish hues, and very fair skin. Just beware of your attitude and manners, though. Upper class Romans, which these girls belong to, are extremely sophisticated and cultured people. They are not like Americans. If you start talking to them about Starbucks coffee or the Superbowl, they will snob you and walk away. Your chances of having intercourse will be dim to none. As for Roman men, many have bisexual tendencies and will hit on you. Just thank them for the compliments and tell them that you don't swing that way. You don't want to get in a fight and end up in a Roman prison. :)

Hmmm, I always thought it was "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" :D
-
LOL chances of me getting my hole are non existent...family trip..i am def looking forward to seieng italian girls then being disgusted ta irish ones when i return lol
thanks for imput

Well, that's what I mean by saying that you should act cultured and sophisticated if you want to get the upper class Roman girls, who are famous for their beauty, to sleep with you. The upper class Romans are very cultured and sophisticated, so by acting like that you will be doing as the Romans do. However, having a sex party with a bunch of males is not appealing to heterosexual men, although I'm sure that the "As in Rome, do as the Romans do" line has been used a lot by bisexual Roman men to woo foreign straight men into having sex with them. ;D
-
"When in Rome, fuck MemberX's girlfriend."
-
When in Rome do as the Romans do:
The Story behind It: When St. Augustine arrived in Milan, he observed that the Church did not fast on Saturday as did the Church at Rome. He consulted St. Ambrose, bishop of Milan, who replied: "When I am at Rome, I fast on a Saturday; when I am at Milan, I do not. Follow the custom of the Church where you are." The comment was changed to "When they are at Rome, they do there as they see done" by Robert Burton in his Anatomy of Melancholy. Eventually it became "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

So you are essentially saying that the thread's starter should have sex with the bisexual Roman men who hit on him because that's common in Rome ??? ;D

fixed
The problem is actually punctuation. Her statement was essentially correct, but not the punctuation. Here is what she wrote:
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
And here is how the sentence should really be punctuated:
"When in Rome, do ass. The Romans do"
;)

from the airport
you can get into the subway and go to the coliseum, if im not mistaken the stop is actually called caliseum or something similar. you leave the station, and right infront of the station you are gonna se the coliseum
then coliseum and from there take a bus that does a tour of the city... it leaves you in the vatican, its gona park in fron of saint peters square for about 30 minutes waiting for people, and you can leave there and go into the square,then you can hop in the next bus without paying anything else... it costs like 20 euros if im not mistaken... the city tour around rome is beautifull and cool and go in the roof, is way cooler!
in the coliseum, there is gona be a Looooooooooooooooooong asss line to get in... so get yourself a magazine or something to listen to...

"Ahhhh it's a beautiful language. Don't you think it's... so alive!"
/too obscure?
Goudy, the best advice re: sex in Italy is this: You're probably not going to screw an Italian woman, especially if you don't speak any Italian. Cosa. But the place is filled to the brim with American and Canadian backpacker girls who have gone to Europe to slut around and screw. Fish, barrel, etc. You're the right age for youth hostels, so find a good one (usually one with it's own bar). Also, blondes and redheads in particular get hassled, and seeing them getting followed by the local men isn't uncommon. An invitation to hang out is frequently forthcoming if you cockblock the guy with, "Hello darling, where have you been? Is this greasy Italian man bothering you?"

thanks for the tip, I am planning a trip to Italy.
-
There is a lot more to see though, almost too much. But they have a real easy subway, so you can get around quickly.

The McDonald's in Rome have free maps. It sounds dumb I know, but there's almost always a Mcdonald's in sight in Rome's tourist zone and it's a very easy way to navigate. 12 years ago, at least...
Btw, giving your name as "Joe Bradley" might get a laugh. Also, most backpackers have been living on bread, cheese, and bananas for weeks. Treat a girl to a nice lunch, she's yours. Dinner and a nice hotel room (without bunk beads and 6 other snoring travelers) and you can go ATM. They tend to move in twos or threes tho, so you'll have to cut one from the herd... unless you're a better man than I. :D
-
Gayer than trying to "cut one from the herd" rather than going for the threesome or foursome. ::)
Yep, I've never been there. :'(
-
u can get blow job around the Colosseum 24 hours a day
-
Most over rated TOURIST capitol of the world! Every road leads to Rome? Every toilet flushed goes to Rome! Viareggio is the worst! Unfortunately still afffiliated with it. . Absolute toilet!
So what if it's not as cool as Florence or whatever. It's his first real trip. Lots of good stuff and good times to be had. The fact that it's heavily touristed is probably a good thing for Goudy.
Edit: One thing I REALLY didn't care for in Europe is that you can't even take a piss for free in a lot of touristy areas. Once again: God bless McDonald's.

For Americans its a dream come true until they go there.They go to sleep every afternoon? Go out to the country and have a Grandma cook for you? Best food ever!!!!!!!! In the city? Tuscany is a just a word for ghetto. Go To the south. Calabria is life changing. Hot peppers!
Fair enough. On a long holiday you'd be looking for something to give you a more intimate knowledge of the place. On a short trip tho, there's something to be said for just seeing a few famous places, meeting some women, and not worrying too much about the authenticity of the experience. Guess it just comes down to what you enjoy.
-
Go find the strip club right next 2 the American embassy.you won't go wrong ;)
-
The Basilica San Silvestre in Capite is right next to ther Trevi fountain apparantly...:)
Thansk for advice i will try to see as much as possible.
