1: Siena has 0.50 cent hot drink machines all over the place so if you need some quick hot cocoa or coffee, it's there! It's slightly larger than a dixie cup, and you adjust the level of sweetness from 1 to 5!
2: In Rome & Naples, NO ONE wanted to make change for you, which was a huge hastle. If you buy something for 8 Euros and pay with a 10, they give you a dirty look and ask if you have 8 (and there is a 2 Euro coin...how easy can it get??). Siena is a refreshingly easy place to make purchases.
3: There is as much English spoken as Italian, even in the off season.
4: Every single store has one word in the window... SALDI! So we've learned the word for sale!
5: Crowds of people are out walking at 7pm, but the streets are totally deserted by 9!
