Muji sells very good toiletries sets! Me and peiyong got a whole set from there and it fits perfectly and it is customs approved (so far).
Paris attractions have many unlicensed vendors selling souvenirs. You probably can get a cheap deal outta them but beware of people who come up to you and ask if you understand or speak English. They aren’t tourists! They are people begging for money! Bs apparently gave them some money outta pity and they will press you for more! There are also some African at montmarte who talk to you an say they wanna make friends with you. They next thing you know they are tying a friendship band around your hand and you have to pay for it!
When entering sacred sites in rome, visitors are expected to dress in clothes that are appropriately decent. No shorts singlets for guys and no short skirts or shorts or sleeveless for girls. Skirts have to cover knees and berms for guys are acceptable. For me cos the weather is a killer I wore shorts and used a shawl to wrap around like a skirt. When I’m out of the religious sites I remove the shawl and I’m cool again.
Rome has water fountains everywhere. The fountains have huge taps that have water running from taps all the time. The water is apparently potable and py and bs as guinea pigs has proved that you won’t get a diarrhea or die from drinking the very cool (sometimes cold) water. Me? I got constipated from tap water in germany so I decided I will just stick to mineral water. I did try the fountain water though. Not too bad at all. Better than what you get at water coolers in schools.
Like paris, rome has many people who sell well… flowers. They usually push them into hands of unsuspecting tourists and kids and then force them to buy later on. 2 stalks are like 1 euro. Though they say you can pay as much as you like they’d press you for more than what you have given.
