But it’s not served in a pretty way, just applied with a spoon or spatula. Whipped cream: It seems like it’s on everything. If you are American, they may expect you to tip. Tipping: One really doesn’t have to do it because it’s adding as a service fee. The customer service: one has to figure out how to navigate some places. If one lives in the tourist center part of Rome, one has to “go with flow” of the crowd when walking. The crowds: Normally, there would be a few million people visiting Rome at any moment. If you should be so lucky, the toilet will not be “out of service.” And if you are really lucky, the flush is on the floor. One can flush the toilet paper in the toilet in Rome, but as you can see from the photo, sometimes, it’s best not to. See my article about bidets to understand why you may find a bidet in every bathroom. Lack of public toilets: In Rome, you need to grab a coffee or eat at a restaurant to use the toilet. Venetian blinds on the outside of the window. Internet and cell phone service is not very expensive.īureaucracy: Getting service for anything from a bank account to setting up Internet and so on, can be a hassle. The reason they flow all the time is to keep the pipes free of bacteria.Ĭost of Internet: Under 30 euro for mine. They are called “nasone” (nay-so-neh) and most flow all day long. And they all seem to be bitter.ĭrinking fountains: are everywhere. Greens: green vegetables that I’ve never heard of. Shrimp is the most “gringo friendly” but there is raw octopus, raw sea bass, raw everything on pasta. Pizza: pizza is doesn’t always have cheese, and pizza is a breakfast item. A savory tomato cookie, both for breakfast and with drinks at happy hour. Or a pizza, keeping in mind that pizza is not pizza as one thinks of pizza. It’s also easy to grow accustomed to eating a cornetto (croissant) every morning. I prefer no sugar… just the bitter coffee…Ĭookies: for breakfast. Most Italians use sugar so in a way it’s like a power bar every few hours. I’m surprised at how easy it becomes to getting used to drinking espresso (a “caffe” is an espresso by default), all day long. Small breakfasts: Romans like an espresso and a croissant for breakfast. For Rome, since the honeymoon is over (I’m no longer charmed), I’ve decided to write about a combination of surprising and annoying things. We went on a trip and used the SWISH for the first time.As I have done in previous cities that I have called home, at some point, I write about the less than delightful things about daily life ( Dhaka, Bogota, and Lima). Great for bringing to work or on a trip where you wont always have time to brush 2-3 times. I have used this everyday for several months and the bottle is over half full, I would say one bottle will last one person almost a year if used once per day with a few taps. I also gargle with this sometimes which helps sooth a sore throat and clear out mucus. You can definitely feel the difference afterwards and the ingredients are genuine and known to be good for your teeth and breath. Swish for 1-2 minutes, spit it out and I gargle and rinse a few times for good measure. I recommend the water though it just says swish with saliva. I take a small swig of water and then tap a few times into my mouth. I have used this product for several months now. I like peppermint the best for a blast of fresh, but it comes in other natural flavors. It's a powder not a rinse, needs to dissolve on tongue first. Swish it vigoursly between teeth then all around mouth and tongue and you won't believe how clean your mouth feels. Works great for "when you can't brush" or on the go breath freshning (esp. Rinsing it all away will just wash away the benefits.įirst it's natural/organic and since I've gone organic I won't use anything else.

I don't see it so much as an alternative to brushing, as an addition to brushing. He used it only once and the sensitivity went away! Crazy! I told him about Tooth Swish and he very reluctantly tried it. We could not get an appointment with the dentist soon enough. More recently, my husband had a filling fall out and had some big-time tooth sensitivity. This stuff is AMAZING! Whenever I get any kind of tooth sensitivity, I just “swish” for at most a couple of days and no more! It can be used alone or with toothpaste / toothsoap.
