As so first told to me by Andrea. You know at first when Andrea told me she’s going Rome with Baby Ak, I thought of Rome as a destination I’ll never go. Simply because it’s in Europe and it’s really far away. I’ll never have the money. I’ll never find the time. I’ll never etc etc etc. I was of course, full of envy but happy that they found the opportunity to go. I’m so glad the chance of a…
View Post6th May was my first day in Rome. After an amazing day of exploring the ruins that I’ve heard so much about, we were famished! Our first dinner in Rome, we walked about till we found something that looked good. I can’t remember the restaurant name but it’s just off Termini. Here’s what we had. Duckie had Lasagna. My god it was good but DAMN FILLING – that’s why I hate Lasagna. Hahaha! I know I am contradicting myself. The…
View PostOn top of Palantino Hill, once stood the Grand Palace of the Roman Empire, constructed during the Flavian Dynasty. It was the biggest palace ever constructed during the Flavian Dynasty. It reflected the wealth and power of the Roman Empire at its heyday. The floors and walls of this once amazing Palace were all coated with marble. The English word “Palace” came from the name of this Hill – Palatine. Palatine Hill is now a large open air museums for one and…
View PostEarly morning at 5am in London, I woke up with a heavy mixture of dread and excitement. Today (6th May 2008), I make my way to ROME. My dream my dream! The amazing Coliseum (Colosseo to the Romans) When I think of Rome, I think of Gladiators and the eternal city’s ancient centre, the ruins that have been immortalised in countless images – the Coliseum. The bloody amazing structure from 2000 years ago and is still standing proudly and arrogantly…

It’s a blardy huge place with so…
View PostDay 2 at London. The first night was pretty bad. I was so sleepy after dinner but my uncle still drove us round town to see the famous sights lighted up in their own lovely way. I was so sleepy that I was practically nodding off! Felt so damn embarrassed about it! It was a good thing I slept as late as possible though, because I was rid of my jetlag very quickly. The next day I was up bright…
View PostOk, so I went to London (SIA’s airfare @ $2,111 nett) from 28th April to the 19th of May. I stayed in London with my family till the 5th of May. On the morning of the 6th of May, I begun my Rome-Florence-Pisa-Venice-Verona-Milan-Paris Italy-France tour. The whole trip’s itinerary is purely based on recommendations from family and friends, guidebooks as well as internet. It was helluva trip and I enjoyed all aspects of differences in culture. My favourite city has…
