MeLE kALikImaKA fRoM RomE!!!!!~~~

Mua haha... That's "Merry Christmas" in Hawaiian oh! =) And am in ROME!!!!! =D

Blogging from the hostel we are staying in, Mona Lisa. Haha... Tell u what, this hostel is great! If anyone of u were to come to Rome in the future, do come and put a night over here. The facilities provided are awesome and the management team are superb!! They are friendly, helpful, and they speak fluent English most importantly. Haha... Am enjoying my stay here... =)

However, so far the experiences in Italy are kinda bad though. First night, we arrived in Milan. We had to take the subway to reach the tourist spots, but there was no one working at the ticket counter. We had to buy the tickets from the ticket machine, which was in Italiano!! Goodness... Was totally lost... Then got cheated by this stupiak SOB... Actually, he literally snatched my money away from me. Luckily I was smart and fast enough to react, so he only managed to get 10Euros out of my purse. Idiot!! Long story.. Will post more about it after I get back to Glasgow le..

Then we took the night train from Milan to Rome. It was on a "free seating" basis. We thought it was no big deal, not like we were that particular about where to sit. But we were obviously wrong!! "Free seating" means they will accept as many customers as they could, without considering the number of seats available on the train!! The train was freaking packed!! We couldn't even squeeze onto the train initially. Finally, we got ourselves in but we had to stand all through the ride, which would last for 8 hours... OH MY GOSH!!! All the stupiak smokers standing next to us kept smoking every 5 minutes somemore. Wah liao!! Hello, confined area wei!!~ Use ur brain la!! Luckily we managed to squeeze ourselves into the corridor around 1 hour later and we sat on our luggages to sleep. Sad case wei... Like homeless ppl... Couldn't really sleep also cause it was really very uncomfortable and those stupiak smokers kept walking in and out to smoke. Gosh... What a night, man!!

Things got better when we reached Rome yesterday. At least ppl here do speak English. We visited the Palentino and reached the highlight of Rome, i.e. the Colosseum at around 335p.m. only to be told that it was closed 5 mins before we arrived. WAH LIAO EH!!!! What the heck?? So early???!! We bought the tickets already actually.. Depressed betul... We thought of visiting it again today, but it's not opened. Christmas ma.. Sob sob sniff sniff... Could only meraba-raba the wall and waved Bye Bye to it... T_T

Anyway, today we are going to Vatican City to say "Hi ya" to the pope. Haha... Felt much better after a good night sleep. And u know why I have so much time to blog? Because except for me and Wern, all my travelling mates overslept... Dots... And they slept earlier than us somemore... Even the "tour guide" Xing Wu De overslept... A whole bunch of pigs!!! I had to wake them up 15 mins before the management team cleared the breakfast away. Otherwise, they would have to starve all the way to Vatican City... God knows if they would be too hungry till they eat the pope alive!! XD Wakakaka...

Ok la... I guess that's all for today. Looking forward to our visit to the Vatican City... Must borrow the "hat" from the pope and take picture with it... Kakaka... XD

Till then, see ya!! =D
