I'm alive, currently in Rome

Dear interwebs, I'm alive and well, currently in Rome. The Internet access outside of Sweden is a bit crap. Internet access and bathrooms are both things the Europeans have a hard time with.

Bathrooms are very innovative in America, for example, we've invented systems where most of the water from the shower ends up down the drain instead of all over literally everything in the bathroom (uh ... That's "water closet" for you euros.)

Trains are great, though. I haven't quite figured out how to use them properly, but they're great. I have a pass that is supposed to let me just hop on any train but sometimes I need to buy an extra reservation. Sometimes I will pay for the reservation and not end up needing it, then sometimes I will get in trouble on the train for not having a reservation.

There is no wifi on the trains outside of Sweden, either. Colon open parentheses frowny face.
