You have reached the city streets of Italy, and you notice that it is not quite the same as back in America. It is vital that you familiarize yourself with your surroundings in order to survive.

Italians can be quite helpful in getting you around, but just like in America there are quite a few people who are just there to rip you off.

Avoid large groups of children. Many of them run skillful maneuvers to pick your pockets without you knowing.
