Awesome Rome!

Today I'll tell you about the "eccentrics" on the streets of Rome.

When the first time you see something like that, it seems that this is a miracle. Immersed in full nirvana monk. Standing as frozen and think about how it's possible. And then suddenly you are offered a picture next to this miracle.

There is always a spectator who stands nearby and observes that no one would touch the "monk".

Be careful! Be sure to ask after the money. The amount depends on how you are dressed, in what composition does your company speak you in Italian or not, etc. As a rule it is 2-1 euro.

This kind of monks in different interpretations, or jidai from "Star Wars" is almost everywhere in the city, where the network of tourists.

The kid liked it;) (In the background Pantheon).

There is another category of street earnings. This sellers of horrible, ranging from magnets, badges, coins and even water. About this in more detail. Summer, July, heat. If you suddenly want to drink on your promenade and you do not have water, prepare to buy it. Fortunately on every pedestrian zone there are a lot of people who sell water. One half-liter bottle of frozen thirst litter costs as much as 2 euros. In the store, this bottle costs 0.33 euro. Do you feel the difference? Hence the conclusion. Take water always with you from home! Always!
On pedestrian streets there are also artists playing on different exotic instruments, as well as craftsmen working with their hands. From the reeds weave weird figures and then sell them to those who wish.

Artists draw paintballs when using not intricate patterns of landmark attractions. This all happens with the close attention of tourists who admire the process that they are contemplating and can even take part in creating another street masterpiece.

At the same time, he noticed that in Rome the herd instinct also works. There are a lot of artists of this genre and they are on the same street, but next to someone is a crowd of people and next to the other one is two people. Such a feeling that people attract each other.

There are also nimes and all "evil spirits" in the streets.

But a vivid example of barkers in a cafe with ice cream. By the way, a very interesting self-service café. There is a cashier with scales and a cash register and a wall with taps and labels with an image of what is in this crane or container. The buyer takes a kremanku and, at his request, falls asleep, pours, imparts, etc. those ingredients that they want, then weighed and calculated. It turns out that chocolate, ice cream, nuts, strawberries, syrups all at the same price. In fact, this cafe is much more expensive than a cafe where you order just ice cream with syrup, for example.
