Trip to Italy
Hello fellow readers,
I would like to apologise for not publishing posts as regular as I would like. Anyway, this would mean I need to cover a lot. I would have to estimate that I need a further 6/7 posts to publish to get you all updated. Hopefully I can fulfill that by the end of February.
Okay, no time wasting.
I went to Italy on the 23rd of December and came back on the 4th of January. I stayed at my Badminton Doubles-Partner's home in Rome (He's a mainland Chinese guy fyi).
I found a Butcher Shop to satiate my carnivorous needs.
That's the Colosseum
If you guys know where that is, hats off to you
(we were lost btw)
That's Napoli from Pompeii. Napoli is where Pizza orginate. The pizza there was quite unique. Not only is the taste different, how you eat it is different as well. On a tourist note, don't go to Napoli with a naive "everybody's friendly" tourist mindset. I nearly got robbed. If 2 guys (my friend and I) were on the brink of losing our backpacks during lunch, then I would think it'll be much worse during the evening.
That italian pastry is called CANNOLO.
I am quite tolerant with high sugar junks (like Donuts), however this pastry gave me a headache halfway through. It's quite cheap as well. That length was about 1.50euros. That's like 2 tins of Soda in Brunei.
The horizon is Rome. I was at Tivoli on the hill. Way different than Rome.
This is one of many shots from a site called Hadrian's Villa. The Villa is at the bottom of the Tivoli hill.
That's Da Vinci's bust in Rome. I think it had a lot of abuse throughout the years. As you can detect, the facial texture is different than the other features.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well that's about it. I got more pictures. I'll do another Italy post should I am requested to do so.
