roman way of life.....

I am back! having tasted Italian pasta, pizza and gelato, i am finally home from the republic of Italy. the past 12days have been amazingly fun, crazy, beautiful and tiring. do like the Romans do, they say, we did and we establish a love-hate relationship with the Italians. you love them for their art, culture, delicious food and architecture. you hate them for their strikes (not that it affected us), lousy service and their attitude. not to forget their dirty streets. on the contrary, i love their heavily gratified walls. it was an eye opening experiencing, battling crazy traffic, fighting queue-cutting Italians and getting them to understand our F-grade Italian. really lucky to have experienced and absorb the Italian way of life. the chronicles of my adventure will be unfolded in a couple of days time as i battle laundry, grocery, overdue library books and getting back on track on exam preparations. brb. arrividerci e grazie* (bye and thanks)
