Coffee of the Day - Milan


Italy has its own coffee buying rituals. At most places you have to buy the coffee first, then you are given a ticket which you then give to the Barista. Also having a coffee at the bar is cheaper than sitting down at a table.

I was changing trains at Milan Central Station, enough time for a quick espresso. This was 1 Euro. You can get an espresso in Italy for 60 cents, but train stations, like airports, have a captive audience and tend to charge more.

Leave the toilet seat up


On the train from Nice to Genoa I rode in a new Trenitalia train. It was so new it still had new train smell, a smell which hitherto I didn't know existed.

These new carraiges have male and female toilets instead of the usual unisex toilet at the end of each carraige. In the mens toilet the seats are spring loaded, so the toilet seat always defaults to up.

Any man who has shared a home with a woman will know the refrain "leave the toilet seat down!". Well here at least it is not possible (view video).
