A blog for my exchange programe experiences at Sweden..

December 29, 2006

Italy (20 Dec 06 - 28 Dec 06) Italy.. My last Europe country before my exchange program ends. We first travel to Rome then to Venice, Florence, Pisa, Siena and back to Rome. Seem like this period of time alot of exchange student went to Italy. Meet quite a few of them. So happy to meet friends whom I did not expect to meet. Its like a concluding trip where I met friends which I got to know when I was travelling. One regret is not being able to eat in this resturant in Rome.. Went there the first time we were too early and since we were too hungry we settle for something else.. the second time, it was fully booked! Each of the city in Italy has different thing to see.. For Rome, its more of the ruins.. then Venice, the beautiful water city, has a good sun set view and river side view. Florence has more statue then Pisa has the leaning tower while Siena is just a small town with a square and dumo (church). Rome: Colessum

Trevi Fountain

Spanish square.. connecting a shopping street(people queuing to enter Gucci, LV shop...)

So qiao to meet my friends..

St Peter's Square.. Look at the number of people queuing to enter the St Peter's Basilica Vatican City.. Forbidden grounds.. Visitor are not allow..

Venice.. The water city:

What a beautiful sun set.. too bad its too short..

Pisa:

Siena:

Florence: Soon.. I will be back to Singapore.. The last trip before going back will be to Kiruna. Its up north of Sweden into the artic circle. Hope to see the northern light there! Think it be very beautiful.
