Its Italy Baby!

Its Italy baby!
I'm visiting a city where their biggest soccer club AS ROMA just lost to MAN United last week. To make sure there is no life threatening danger,I decided to keep away any Jersey or T-shirt Printed with logo of Man Utd.

Indeed, its a city to fall in love with
And over the 48 hours stay in the city,I discovered alot to be remembered and treasured. :)

I touched down on the Friday morning,and decided to have a nap before finding my way to the city.


Rode on the train,and this is serious piece of art.haha~


The fast moving crowd in train station.


I stopped at BARBERINI,station where I can find my way to Trevi Fountain.


I can't possibly describe how I feel about the city,its magnificent.

After asking around for directions,I manage to find my way to the very famous Trevi Fountain. (Fontana di Trevi)




legend holds that a visitor who throws a coin into the fountain will ensure a return to Rome. :D


Make the wish..


Throw over my shoulder.

Everyday there is approximately 3000 Euros being thrown into the fountain.
tzek tzek tzek...

After visiting the fountain,I walk towards west,and found Pantheon.

Temple build 125 AD and it means "ALL GODS", dedicated to all roman gods.


It is now used as christian church.

Keep walking to the west and I came to Pizza Novana.A square has cafe and act more like a market place.
There are two more fountain found in this square.
Literally,you can find fountain in every corner of Rome.




The sculpture,is astonishing.

Next,I walked to Campo De Fiori,which means "Field of Flowers" in Italian.

Its a rectangular square that filled with restaurants and people that selling goods!
It was pouring when I visited the square,I stayed for no more than 5 minutes and decided to get to my next destination,Colosseum.

This is the stage that held the Gladiatorial game for centuries.
It was built around 72 AD and completed at 80 AD.
For more than 500 years it held as a grand stage for entertainment.


Probably the gratest Arena ever build by Roman


From different angle I get to appreciate the master mind that designed this breath taking arena.



Colesseum at Night,and Colesseum by day.
This is probably the best shot my DC has ever captured! :D

I got back to Colesseum the second day to get inside the arena.
this time I was with San San and Julina

The idea is to take a UGLY picture,and I think it turn out to be non ugly for them but disastrous for me..haha


The center stage of colesseum,where the gladiatorial game took place.
It can fit more than 50,000 spectators.




With San san

Since we've paid the entrance ticket,and we have whole day to spare,Julina and I decided to do something vain,like take wedding type of photos.haha


We stare


and we point hahaha

We spent around one and a half hour inside the colesseum,then we proceed to Spagna,the area where international Brand gather and set up their shops.
in other words,we went shopping. haha


Italian Flag and Italian building on Spagna.


Statue stood at Spagna Piazza.

I did not take alot of picture around this area as I was too busy looking at the goods and enjoying the sunny afternoon in Rome~ :D

-------------------------------

Enough Sight see,its Food time~


Salmone Pasta,Speghatti we had


Pizza with Ham and mushrooms


Ice Cream is never enough!


Julina and San San

Rome is beautiful,a city that offers great historic culture and filled with very relax atmosphere.If you enjoy great architecture and love to shop,its definately the place to go! :D

Okay!
This is what I cooked,in Singapore.
PAsta,since I'm lazy to dine outside,having some light cooking in kitchen is ideal.

Not to forget to sprinkle cheese powder on top! :D
