Now its Day X ever since I returned from Italy... really regretful of not having any chance to pen mi chronicles in Italy and that beautiful city of Stockholm... but cant blame wad, aft Day 6 in Italy, thr was so much touring n performances tt I cant find miself resting in my room or hostel for more than 30 mins a shot, other than for sleeping... n also, after de trip I just became plain lazy, yar so blame me la... haz...

Ok so let's look at more highlights of my Italian escapade...

Como and Bellagio

Como is a BEAUTIFUL TOWN...

and has a BEAUTIFUL CHURCH...

and we took a BEAUTIFUL FERRY RIDE...

towards BEAUTIFUL BELLAGIO...

I really gotta say tt de day in Como and Bellagio was de BEST DAY i had in Italy... such scenery... n it aint so crowded like de major cities of Venice, Florence, Milan and Rome... would really really love to go back to Como one day... haz

Venice

Fascinating city, wif all de interlocking canals which added to its beauty... Specially known for its Venetian-styled masquerade masks and Murano glassware... Well wad more can I ask for? But too bad, just too bad tt it had become all too touristy, wif such HUGE CROWD of tourists all ard... took away some of de charm...

Florence

Florence was at first kinda lost on me as I didn really appreciate its architecture tt much, mebe cos of de overload of churches and cathedrals... some more most of them nid to pay n cant take pics... SIANZ!!! But well, I came to realise tt Florence had a real bustling art scene, so much so tt even de buskers r professional musicians! Goodness!!! Also, we found some real nice places (Piazza Michaelangelo and Fiesole) from which we can see Florence at a bird's eye view! One word: UNFORGETTABLE!!! Also, I tried de BEST STEAK i've ever eaten in Florence! BISTECCA ALLA FIORENTINE!!! BURP!!!

Rome

Well, here we are! THE LARGEST OPEN-AIR MUSEUM U CAN EVER WALK INTO!!! Serious! Every alley you turn in Rome will behold u yet another monument, church, statue, or obelisk! Thrs so blardy many things to see and take pics wif... I was NUTHING SHORT OF AWED... And some places worth visiting in Rome are de Vatican Museum (especially the Sistine Chapel) and St. Peter's Basilica!!! I can only say tt St. Peter's Basilica can make the Milan Duomo look damn small!!!

Stockholm

Really man! I can't believe that such a city exist! I dunno whether it shd be regarded as a city even, cos while it's densely populated, thr didn seem to be crowds ard, and de whole place is so peaceful! De views across its many bridges are so nice, it's like u're completely taken to another world! I visited the royal palace, and while grand as it may be like de many cathedrals in Italy, it also has de warm feeling of home! Stockholm is another city I will wanna visit again man!!!

So in short, I really had a SWELL TIME there!!! It was so darn hard to just leave man... Darn missed Italy and Stockholm...

Well so after tt LOOOOONG trip I returned to SG just for a few days b4 flying yet again to Taiwan! Will be touching on Taiwan in de nxt entry, so stay tuned!!!
