my 2nd destination was rome...reached there in the late morning...i was so restless cos my leg had blisters n was carrying my barang barang ard n my brother wasnt sure how to get to the hostel...after some wrong turns n asking we finally found the hostel we were staying but we were told we will not be staying there but instead staying at an apartment n could only check in at night so we left our things there n carry on our expedition..rome is such an ancient city..there are lots of old and magnificent builidings n fountains....the building i am most impressed with was a building made to commemorate an unnamed warrior...will post some photos of it when my pics are loaded...my friend asked me to help her make a wish at a wishing well..i dinno which is the one she is talking cos there were so many fountains there but last night she told me its fontana di trevi...i did went there but i did not make any wish for her..hee..sorry huh..but anyway u shld really go n make a wish urself isnt it, it will show ur sincerity then ur wish will come true..oh also went to the colosseo...it actually isnt really that grand n magnificent ba...just that it had been so promoted n market by commercials n movies...could only go ard it and cannot into the center so it was really a bit disappointing....then we went to a few more places n then headed back to the hostel..met a singaporean guy,it was really nice to see a singaporean in another place, someone who talks the same language n same frequency...anyway this hostel i am staying in is so bogus lor...the boss is super dishonest man..those kind of unorder n unscrupulous one i think...my brother actually booked a room with 4 beds but i dun think he has any rooms with 4 beds...they all came in 8s..what the boss does is i think he just get as many orders as he can then he will stuff everyone in the rooms of 8...it was really sickening cos not only we din get what we want n we had to walk further to another place adding pain to my already tired legs...n that place sucks...so warm n little ventilation n very cramp...there were 3 hongkongers who were also hoaxed so they decided just to stay over the night n check out the next morning...then the next day we went to vantican city to visit the home of the pope...another magnificent sight..it was so crowded n hot...anyway luckily there are lots of taps n fountains in rome...so we can always refill our bottle with water...had an bad experience when i took the metro, bumped into some pickpockets, but i think they were unable to get anything from me so they tried to take my cap, but they failed...hai..its pretty sad to see cos they are only children...continue walking n walking until it was dinner time then we went back to the hostel to eat....met 2 gers from ireland who were displeased with the hostelling arrangement...so they decided not to stay...ha...after dinner we went to catch the night view of the colosseo...hmm..not bad...its pretty different to see it in the day n in the night...i think i let my brother down..if not for my tired n painful legs, we wud have probably went to vantican city n catch a night view of it as well..instead we return to our hostel n pack ourselves for the flight to barcelona the next morning....my legs were so tired n painful already...haha...sounds funny...i seem to be paying for torture i thought....ok...story in barcelona shall continue next time...ciao pple..
