pro 1	There are no carpets here - just tiled floors: Handy if you don't like hoovering, and if you have a wild party, you can just hose down the house the next day.
con 1	There are no carpets here - just tiled floors, so if you drop anything glass or ceramic (or electronic, such as my external modem which I dropped the other day), it doesn’t stand a chance of survival.

pro 2	The guy at the meat-counter in the supermarket is friendly and chats to you.
con 2	It takes an hour to get served at the meat counter ‘cos the guy is friendly and chats to everyone.

pro 3	People drive shockingly fast here which is nice if you’re an impatient driver like me.
con 3	People drive shockingly fast here which is terrifying if you’re a nervous driver like me.

pro 4	Parts of Rome have free parking.
con 4	You can't always tell which parts aren't free, so you end up paying a fine anyway.

pro 5	They have roundabouts here as well.
