ROME

30th March 2008


3 hours of flight, finally we arrived in ROME. The airport was distance from our hotel, we took an hour bus drive to metro station. When the bus arrived at the metro, we all in deep shocked of the thing we saw around us. Not a scenery one expected for Rome. Crap, did we took the wrong bus? Is this Mexico? No one said a word but kept looking at each other. Somehow no one dare to speak up. We all rushed into the metro station and took the tube to hmmmm Agna......... (can't remember). The tube is spacious compare the one in London. When we arrived to our destination, again we were puzzled. How long was the tube ride, how come we in Philippines. Yes filipino everywhere!! Interesting no? Ignoring the craziness we carry on our adventure ( exaggerate ). Stef lead the way. According to the map the hotel just next to the station. Cari punya cari, payah eh. Ohya ada jua restaurant halal. We eventually found the place, really weird (Again), the reception and the hotel room at different building. Two three blocks apart. The room was fair enough. We waited for Yen cousin to show us around.

Here some pictures we took when we at the Coleseum.





Walked around the area and enjoying the scenery. I'm not really into art and history. But Rome just astounding. I never thought something decrepit can be so alluring. Yeah took some more pictures.



The weather was hot so we stopped by to a cafe for an ice cream.


We were so Exhausted from all the walking. We went back to the hotel and get some rest. We gathered at the girls room talking about our day. The main topic was the place where we thought it was Mexico hahaha. Then i went to my room for awhile when i came back everyone stopped talking and stared at me. In my mind, crap were they talking about me?? I tried to recall my day, did i do something wrong?? Darn its awkward. Then ka shidah, ka siti and I went to the Halal restaurant. Bought some pizza for dinner. (Pizza over here taste really good even on the street). Back to the girls room and still the thorny atmosphere.


Then just went back to my room and off to bed. Woke up around 1 am, my phone was vibrating like crazy. Nice, msg from Azim, Zeing and Khairul. Thanks for the wishes guys. A minute later msg from Ka mimi, saying the bread that I bought from tesco not Halal. I reread the text hmm i couldn't see any hidden msg. Weird, she msg me at 1am on my birthday not to wish me but to say bread not halal. Couldn't sleep after that. Stayed up the whole night.
