Where to pee in Roma Termini? McDonald's :)

Where to pee in Rome Termini? McDonald's :)

Rome is one of our favorite cities in the world. It has so much history and "present" that it will be a fantastic destination for work and leisure in the rest of the 2020s. Rome is clean and feels safe in 2025. Its weather in January is mild and pleasant, in the 50s without practically any wind or rain. 

If you find yourself in Rome's main train station, Roma Termini, note that using the restroom will cost you 1.20 euros. For Americans, it is hard to get used to the idea of paying for using the restroom. The 1.20 euro fee feels steep. It can add up quickly if you are with a group or family. Recommendation, go to the McDonald's across from the station (not the one inside), buy a snack, and get a code to use the restroom. You can buy a plain hamburger or a small chicken sandwich for 1.80 euros and use the restrooms. 

Anyway, here's our list of "must-see" attractions in Rome:

1. Colosseum. Only remaining Ancient Wonder of the World. 

2. Palatine Hill. Founding site of Rome with views of the Forum and Circus Maximus.

3. Piazza Venezia. Impressive building and nice panoramic views.

4. Trevi Fountain. Cute tourist trap.

5. Pantheon. An ancient temple dedicated to all gods, with its iconic dome and oculus.

6. Vatican City and Museum. Admire Michelangelo’s Pietà, climb the dome for panoramic views, and explore the crypts below. Sistine Chapel (Vatican Museums), see Michelangelo’s iconic frescoes, including The Creation of Adam, and Leonardo DaVinci's Last Supper.

7. Trastevere. Charming neighborhood for a weekend stroll, enjoying traditional Roman cuisine.

Tips for Visiting Rome

Visit popular landmarks early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds.

Pre-book tickets for major attractions like the Colosseum and Vatican Museums to save time.

Transportation. Master the buses and metro. If riding the metro, beware of pickpocketing. 

Local Food: Try Roman classics like cacio e pepe, carbonara, and supplì.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...
