Italy.

finally got the photos from liang,so here's the post on my 2nd Eurotrip...to Italy-Paris.so u know who to blame for my lack of updates...teehee

All the airtickets were fully booked by the time we wanted to get ours,hanya tinggal flight tickets to Milan.so we decided that Milan will be our 1st stop.didn't spend much time there tho...was in Milan for approximately...4hrs?

- Milan's famous duomo.it was right smacked infront of us as we ascend the stairs from the subway.my 1st reaction?wuuuuuuaaaaaaa~~~~cantik giler. but i was clad in Padini polo-t tho..so wth...XD i think cousie huiyan will whack the heck outta me if she knows...haha.


-*mwwwah* 4 jakuns never see kissing couple before...-_____-"

- 4 same jakuns never see branded-nipple-bearing dress before.-____-"""""

- i looked like some anime guy.wern looks like some kampung wee girl who just reached Milan.harharhar.

After licking all the windows(those who linger infront of branded shops and couldn't afford to buy are known as "window-lickers" to the Italians) along Via Montenapoleone, we boarded our "free sitting" 5 hours train to Rome.

the train journey was a heck of an experience i tell u.for those who slept in airports/trainstations/mcD/roadside before...it was still bearable.but i think for the New Zealander,it was somethin...new.XD


christmas eVe was spent in Rome!checked into MonaLisa Hotel(monalisa's NOT in Rome btw -__-"), bathed and out we go again.

- Colosseum!Colosseum!looking at it and touching its wall after seeing it from books and pictures....speechless i tell u.but the fact that we didn't manage to make it into the colosseum even after we bought the tickets left us speechless as well.damn sad can..n frustrated.

-Rome's famous batu buruk XD looking at the amount of batu buruk and applying a wee bit of ur imagination,u can tell that the Roman empire was HUMONGOUS.HUGE.BIG.whatever u call it.


- Fontana de Trevi!omigosh omigosh...*faints* i love can...Trevi fountain somehow cured my disappointment(not being able to enter colosseum) a little...just...a little.
i made my wish.the others made their wishes as well.threw our coins in(some old man "fish" it out wth > <") and we camwhored.

i wished i'll pass my pP3 this january. *sobz*

- after some consideration, we decided not to go "see the pope" on christmas eve night.instead,we decided to go colosseum again and have a good rest later on.


- Colosseum by night.it was kind of like a bonding session for the 5ive of us.we walked around the colosseum touching the dinding.we chatted.we laughed.we take photos of each other. =) i did hope that time would stop there. christmas eve 2007 wasn't that bad after all...

- Christmas in Vatican City!another omigosh...the place was packed i tell u.Vatican City and the pope plays a significant role among catholics if im not mistaken.i think the whole Rome was there in St Petro's Square on christmas eve night.
According to liang, christians considered themselves(ourselves?)blessed if they have their christmas in the Vatican City.aaahh~5ive blessed jakuns.XD

- rumah Pope.haha no lar...Basilica St Petro.

- interior of Basilica St Petro.*speechless*

For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16


- The jaga in the Vatican City.yalar...jaga as in those jaga infront of government buildings,palace...cute to the max =)

- not quite sure what buildings this is...appearently got quite a number of "pentheons" around Rome...so...

- Spanish steps in Rome.read from the magazine in Ryanair(Pst.Andrew said "RyanScare"XD) that this is one of the top places to propose.haha..i don't see any romantic-ness in urine-stained stairs pun.

took an early 3hrs train to Florence.checked in our 3stars apartment(yup,3stars for 18euros pp) and took another 1hr train to Pisa.


- shots taken on a famous bridge.can't recall whatz the name of it.the weather was GREAT.the scenery was wuuuuaaaa~~~
cross bridge,walk walk walk...finally we reached our destination.what is Pisa if it's not for...

no not pizza.lame joke.not funny.



- the Leaning Tower of Pisa!the building i read and heard so much is actually right infront of me!gosh...and we camwhored XD

and camwhored...
and cam..camera manXD

- duomo with Leaning Tower of Pisa peeking from behind.
went back to Florence after finish camwhoring and had our best Italian meal in Florence.thanks to Peiling...'s sister.whee~

- Ponte Vecchio in Florence.it was a pity that we didn't get to see it's dayview but the nightview is still great nevertheless. altho it looks like some rumah papan murah on top of a titi buruk...it is actually consists of 2rows of wooden shops selling diamonds and jewelleries...

- where is this?where is this?no price for getting it correct...Venice!

- the famous Piazza St Marco...

with lots and lots of super-duper-overfed-obese pigeons.and 3jakuns who went after them. XD

and a ah gong who decided to attract the pigeons by pouring bird seed ON HIS GRANDSON'S body. > <" the kid's cute tho...hong pok pok de face...hehe - Gondolas.no we were not rich enough to pay RM300 for a 30mins ride.


- macam kat Australia kan?kan?

- nightview.not quite sure what building is this but i think it's Murano island.anyone any idea?

due to lotsa unforeseen circumstances, we only had like 1afternoon in Venice before leaving for our next destination.i know most of my travelmates were reluctant to leave Venice but oh well...at least we get to "go Switzerland" mar kan?


and whatz a trip to italy without...


this?!
lotz of them!
lotz and LOTZ of gelato!

where was my next destination after Venice?12hrs of train......
