Updates

Work is getting more and more boring. Fuk. No other options for the sake of those precious pounds. On my way back home, streets were flooded with people as it is a Saturday night. Arghh, haven’t been drinking and partying for a week already! And I doubt anyone is free and steady enough to do so. April is the month where everyone is as busy as a bee doing and stressing about their assignments + dissertation. As for me, I’ve a presentation and 3 reports to be completed in 3 weeks time as I’ll be flying back home early May. SOng !!! =)

Rome is boring =.=. Didn’t much like it. All the buildings look similar. Anyway here are some pics selected from a thousand plus of pics:




The 'sisters'



Cass & Mars





Pantheon - "Temple of all the gods"




Florence, Fatty, Cass, Slim

This is the place where the kings have their ‘entertainment’ at Palatine Hill. Palatine Hill is also the place where Romulus and Remus (founders of Rome) were found by the she-wolf that kept them alive (myth).


This is the place where the first emperor of Rome; Augustus Ceaser lived. Original piece of wall ages old, so no flash is allowed.

Italian pizza with Italian beer. Good combo. As smooth as Heineken.

Colosseum

The ladies


These are not people where you go to them and snap a photo. Why?


You have to pay them =.= or they’ll spank you.



This fatty here was chasing a lady that took his picture insisting her to pay. However the lady refused and he demanded her to delete it. She got away at the end. Poor boi.


This is the infamous ‘Trevi Fountain’. Throw a coin and make a wish =)

Interesting facts from Wikipedia - A traditional legend holds that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a return to Rome. Among those who are unaware that the "three coins" of Three Coins in the Fountain were thrown by three different individuals, a reported current interpretation is that two coins will ensure a marriage will occur soon, while three coins leads to a divorce. A reported current version of this legend is that it is lucky to throw three coins with one's right hand over one's left shoulder into the Trevi Fountain.


Approximately 3,000 Euros are thrown into the fountain each day and are collected at night. The money has been used to subsidize a supermarket for Rome's needy. However, there are regular attempts to steal coins from the fountain, including some using a magnetized pole.
