Beautiful, rustic and genuine; this city is also contradictory, chaotic and anarchic.
And it is a place where some things tend not to change....
The bus drivers that will never never learn to speak English, even though they are running a central line bus and dealing with tourists every day.
Roscioli: The Bakery. The place to go for a 'builder style snack' with pizza (bianca with mortadella as a first choice) around 11 am.
The Jewish quarter, where you can walk in quiet and silence and still feel, in 2012, the ancient real atmosphere of Rome.
Trimani wine bar, a great, simple place with a fantastic wine list fairly priced. (they also have a wine shop next door)
La sorchetta. To finish your day. There is no way to translate and explain it. You must have it or at least see it in a picture.
Much more could be said and written about Rome, but this post doesn't mean to be a guide.
These are just the memories of a day as an expat.
A full immersion day of an expat wondering around a place that, even continuously moving and evolving, will never change...hopefully.
