Experienced a similar pearl-clutching reaction when our host in Venice heard we -- an American couple -- were renting a car and driving south to Naples. Joke's on her, Naples was a delight.

But since I live in Seattle and she's been here so many times and knows the city so well now, she loves Seattle. As a Canadian your country just sounds like a potential warzone no matter where you go. Plus you could be out tens of thousands of dollars if you get get shot and are unable to capture your shooter alive and sue the medical costs and mental damages out of them.

You can sort of tell the non-city folk in the US by watching them try to parallel park. I say sort of because everyone here is so trash at driving that you can't be sure they haven't been parallel parking their entire life and still loving it up.

We went to the DMV on my 16th birthday and my dad signed all the paperwork saying he taught me and that we did all the necessary hours of practice, and then he signed something saying he waived the actual driving test, and then I passed the written exam, and then I had a license.

Trabant posted:Experienced a similar pearl-clutching reaction when our host in Venice heard we -- an American couple -- were renting a car and driving south to Naples. I picked up a car at Naples airport and the people in front were asking about where to park in the city and the (Italian) guy behind the counter said "no it's not safe" "but it's fine at the hotel right?" "Ehhhh no" "what?" "The car park the street, the hotel, no". This message brought to you by the tourist board of Naples. Anyway the joke was on me because I wasn't going to Naples and had to drive down pitch black roads to get where I was going and at one point follow a diversion that was unsignposted and was basically "follow the other cars they probably know where they're going". I should have gone to Naples.

Yeah, but when you get to a parking spot, the chances of you being at the same spot in the tires as last time is miniscule.

In Napoli the entire garbage collection and disposal system, including the disposal of hazardous industrial waste, is run by organized crime clans. Usually they just dump all of it somewhere in the countryside because properly disposing of stuff would cut into the profit margins and some rural people getting cancer isn't their problem.
