ancient rome again

so we were back to rome again after a holy visit at vatican city.

rome is a city of fountains and squares. bearbear at piazza del popolo.

if you are a hongkong tvb fan, this trevi fountain must be very familiar to you. some scenes of the series, triumph in the skies *chong shang yunxiao* starring flora chan and dunno wth were filmed here. i met one rude and pushy italian man while bargained for some souvenir items. he was muttering sthg in italian language, dunno wth he said. but i can assure you it was sthg bad cuz he asked whether im chinese or japanese. does nationality or race matter anyway?? thank god i dun understand. so dodgy!! and i din give him a deal. i think i dun like italy!!

trevi fountain is always full of people.

legend has it that if you toss a coin over your shoulder, you will return to rome one day. let's see if this works!! *i said, the more you throw, the higher chance you will come back.*

see, im so hypocrite!! dun like italy but still threw a coin into the fountain, wishing myself to come back here again. im so helplessly, hopelessly in love wiv italian designer bags...

him, at trevi fountain.

piazza del campidoglio. is spanish steps at the back of this building?

the roman forums.

at capitoline hill.

pama facing piazza venezia. i got bored of dunno wth fountain.

piece of mind: stay away fr those ancient places if you dun like sejarah. you can opt to hav coffee or go on a shopping spree. you'll get tax deductions!! gucci, prada, salvotore ferragamo, and many more brands are always on sales. i love sejarah. or should i say, i used to love sejarah. so i couldnt help myself tapping into the history of julius caesar, renaissance, whatever lah... so deeply, deeply!! i came, i saw, i CABUT...
