italy 101

at the colleseum in rome... gladiator? eh? apparently during its hey day more that a million animals and man were killed in this arena. as one writer said... if hell had a mouth, the colleseum would be the point where hell touches the earth...

on top of st peters basilica at the vatican city, climbed like mad all the way up there. do you know that the vatican city is a country on its own? the smallest country in the world actually... it has its own postal code, policemen, radio station as well as its own currency...

every European nation can print its own design at the back of any euro coins... if you happen to find the coin with the vatican city on it, keep it, it's said to be worth alot in the near future, and it brings you luck because the pope blessed it himself...

thats why its so bloody expensive...

at the trevi fountain in rome, the trevi fountain is one of the most famous landmark in rome. it is said that if you make the effort to visit this fountain to make a wish, you would always return to rome... 1, 2 , 3......

i'm so coming back to rome laaaaaahhhhh......

one of italy's latest monuement, apparently the crtics hate it, calling it too extravagant and too "white". like thats what they said about the effile tower and the lourve... all i know is that the amazing race raced through here to the top where the horse was to retrieve their next clue... don't you just love the telly?
the leaning tower of pisa... took one hellava train ride there just to see the bloody tower lean, i was just too lazy to even be bothered to climb it...my mom, bro and sis did...my dad and i sat at the foot of it kicking pigeons...

there was actualy a shot of me with my pants down doing the exact shot... that landing me into some trouble with the police patroling around there...

woot woot...

i threw up in after this shot was taken... t the italian riveria, we were suppose to take a train up there, but the stupid italians were on a strike, my dad decided to rent a car against our opposition....
2 words.... BIG MISTAKE...
see those little roads by the edges and the cliff, yeap...i was kidding when i said my dad tried to drive his family off the cliff and killing all of us... was damn scary... people there drive at 90km/h while we were barely hiting 40...

florence is seriously one of the most beautiful cities in the world, it feels as if you're stepping into a history text book... everything was in its 13th century old world charm...

the first and original prada shop in MILANO!on the roof top in a church in Milan

venice is just...wow... its like a never ending fairy tale.... just wow...

italy...
a place where gelato is eaten after every meal...
traffic lights are used as mere road accesories...
it is a cardinal sin not to own a fendi, armani, or gucci...
gucci there is our equalavent of a topshop...
wine is cheaper than mineral water....
and smoking is allowed everywhere...
macdonals' meals are priced the same....except in euros...
thats italy for you in a nutshell...
