What is free in Italy?
When you travel in Italy, make sure that you always have a one Euro coin with you, because anytime you need to use WC or toilet you have to pay one euro either to the keeper of the WC or to the machine that guard the door to the toilet. It is a good business indeed, because people can't hold their pee after a long trip, especially when we travel by a bus. We can pee in the train for free.
I just found out today that the cost/fee for using toilet are different depending on where you are. It cost 0,60 euro at the Santa Maria station. In that area next to Mc Donald, a lady with her machine charge those who want to use toilet. If we use one euro, she will give change. It is a fact that the line to the lady's room is always longer than to the men's room. (Insert a picture of toilet in McD)
Later on at Il David, I found out that the cost of using a toilet is 0,70 euro. In that place you need to use the exact change otherwise you won't get the change since no one is there for that. (Insert a picture of toilet at Il David)
While in Venice, we have to pay extra one euro if we want to drink or eat inside a cafe. The waitress will ask us, "to go or here?". If we say here, she would say,"you have to pay one euro extra for that!"
Being tired from walking around, of course we would say, "okay!"
So, things are expensive and nothing is free. By this time I wrote this, I have been tired translating the prices into my own rupiah currency because they all are very expensive.
