Monday 7.07.08
Tonight's flight is going to take 12 hours.Hopefully i can snooze for about 3/4 of the journey.Its going to be my first time to italy (extremely excited!) I really regret the fact that i didnt have any spare time to do any research on italy =s Ps:I should learn how to travel light nowadays.

We've just arrived italy and straight away boarded a train to Firenze (florence).Thank god for daddys GPS!Hotel (Là Fortezza) is quite a distant from the city but oh well,walking is always a good exercise!
2pm:
Here i am,sitting,waiting & enjoying the atmosphere of crowded mortals around me.Beautiful sculptures are being placed high and low and tourists are everywhere!They had a very nice busker playing background music at the square today. Night:
OMG.I am sooo tired!We spent the whole day WALKING.Tania,sofia and i visited the academia.Nothing fancy about that place except for michaelangelo's master piece!The nude statue of David!ps:people in rome just roam about on the streets man!massive amount of people today!it's like a human traffic jam!

Finally daddy rented a car!(no more tired and swelling feet from now on).lol.It was an awesome day today as we went to the factory outlet.Now,now,now..it's not just any typical outlet!It was all the designer items outlets!From gucci to fendi to ferragamo to burberry and loaaaaaaads more.Clearly,NO WOMAN on this earth can resist shopping for designer items which has discounts up to 80% off right..!?So basically..being like any other normal women in this world we went shopping! (including dad;temporary sex change) After that,we headed to the beach.We were pretty much overdress when we got there as most of the italians at the beach were "semi naked".So,what do we do to blend in folks?We got ourselves *coughs* swimsuits!lol.Nah la,actually dad told us to swim in the beach so that we can tell people that we've swam in italy.HA-HA.i know.wth right?Oh btw,dad doesnt allow me to post pictures of us in our *coughs* swimsuit.Sorry bout that.ngee.The tilting tower of Pi Sa was our next destination.We climbed all the way to the top!It was very SCARY & UNSTABLE.lol.But i liked it!(morbid stuff always fascinates me!)
Stopped by for some fruits.
Looking at the empty void.

Mama and daddy left the three of us in florence to go to Venice.so we ended up visiting all the historical places in the city of firenze (the only activity they have in Italy *yawns*).I would say that it was a slightly adventurous day for all of us!We went to the Dome (our tour guide was a lil CUCKOO).We climbed all the way to the top of the dome!Imagine climbing an old building!Mostly spiral staircase to get you all the way to the top and uneven floors when you walk.No lifts or safety rope wtsoever.It was super duper scary!!We had to go through 473 steps!When we reach the inner top of the dome,the view of the interior was magnificent!It was huge and the ceiling was 143m high!It was beautiful..Two thumbs up to the architect of the building.In fact,3 thumbs up as it was build in the 13th century.Oh ya!another thing i forgot to mention!They had a sign written "Fuck the americans" when we were queueing outside the dome.So teruk i tell you and the people behind us were americans!They were like "oh well,maybe we shouldnt spend our money here..!" lol.so yea,after today's experience,Tania,sofia and i plan to travel as backpackers one day!ngee.
*oh crap.I just screwed my travel diary*

We went to Incisa again (the factory outlet).The weather today is EXTREMELY HOT.Hot weather,Hot guys.lol.Will be heading to Rome today.Stopped by the Prada outlet on the way to Rome.
1 am-Arrived rome..Its like "black people galore" at sheraton.Turns out that they are the olympic runners.
Btw,I'd like to know where the heck did language come from!??! I mean,in italy,due to the flooded amount of foreigners,soo many people tend to communicate in different languages.Which is a bit annoying because i dont understand a single word they are trying to say.Why cant we just stick to english?!screw with tradition..

The omg-i-cant-stand-the-hot-weather pissed look.
CNN is the only channel you can watch in italy (because it's in english).lol.Anyway,I prefer Florence than Rome.We went on the sightseeing bus and did a stop at the trevi fountain.It was very crowded and plus the weather is extremely hot today!41 degrees.
Sunday 13.07.08
We went to the colloseum and packed our bags when we got back..Sobs.I'm gonna miss italy and the hot guys..heeehee. ok for some reason,I lost my mood to blog.HAHA.As if you people read it anyway.Will update later.ciao!
