Nightlife

The first thing we found out about nightlife in Rome is that bars here are not considered a place where you go the get an alocoholic beverage. Bars here are a place where you go to grab a bite to eat, coffee, and gelato. Moat of the time at these bars people are coming in and they stand up and drink their coffee or expresso and go. Usually to sit down will cost you more money. They are usually little places that you can find very easily on almost any street. What Americans would consider a bar, here they consider it a pub. This definitely shows a clear difference in American culture and European culture. It's interesting to see how such common places in different countries can be called and mean two completley different things.
