When in Rome, do as the Romans do, they say.
What do the Romans do?
They live in Rome, of course, and go to work by car or bus. But sometimes it takes too long that way because of the traffic jams, so they walk.
In other words, the Romans do what everyone else does.
Yes, but they do it differently. Everything is different.
What do you mean?
Well, the climate is different for a start. It doesn't rain so much as it does in England. The sun shines more often.
I envy them for the sun.
I Know. You hate the rain, don't you?
I certainly do.
And a Roman really loves life. They always eat spaghetti and drink wine.
Not always, but they like a good meal. Lots of tourists go to Rome just for food.
