Where's My Latin Lover On A Vespa?
I thought Europe was going into Autumn, but clearly in Rome, summer is still in full force. We melted today under the Roman sun. It was HOT. Hotter than Singapore, I dare say. My skin is still burning from the heat outside. Because at least in Singapore you can escape into the cool confines of an air-conditioned space every 100m you go. But here it's just wide open space most of the time. And indoors there is at best a fan or weak airconditioning. Meh.
Well, at least the sights made up for it. We went to the Colosseum, the Palatino and the Roman Forum today. These are areas of historical ruin dating back to BC, and much of what is left isn't very grand anymore. But nonetheless it was cool to have been standing where ancient Romans might have stood centuries and centuries ago. The huge flood of tourists kind of turned me off though, because I felt it took away some of the grandeur and sanctity these spaces should have.
We were lucky today - it's apparently Europe Heritage Day today and tomorrow, so we got free entry into the Colosseum and the Forum! Aweeesome. Hehe. Tomorrow we'll get to see the Vatican for free too, because 1) its the last Sunday of the month, and 2) its the Heritage Day thingy. Which is good because I am seriously running short of Euros.
Oh my god in Europe everywhere I turn there are boobs. Boobs boobs boobs. Everyone has huge boobs. It's horrific. These ang mohs must think I am prepubescent or something, thanks to my less-than-generous bosom. BAH. :( Yeah, this is what they call boob envy.
Heh. Okay. Now that I got that out of my system.
The traveling trio has slowed down to snail pace. We returned to the hostel around 4pm because we just couldn't suffer the heat anymore, and we're all tired and ready to settle down somewhere. Jeez. I'm really counting down the days till we return to London. 1 more day only!
Oh, and by the way, till now we still haven't spotted any really hot Italian men. I saw like one on the street that day, wearing a suit, looking all fly, but I bet if I looked down at his feet (was too preoccupied with his handsome face) he was probably wearing the wrong shoes or something. :( They all are kind of tubby most of the time. 'Tis a myth! I am somewhat disappointed I guess.
Okay I'm really tired now and starting to get hungry. Blog again tomorrow, maybe! Ciao bella.
