Right i'm still sick. but i guess to sum it all up if u need information on rome. go to www.romebuddy.com. it basically tells all what u need to know.
note: most ppl are dressed in black and they dont speak english.
gelaterias are a dime a dozen which cost about 2 euros each pop.
paninis by the roadside hawkers are best budgeted about 3.50 euros min.
basically, i can say i've been there. done that. etc
entrance to coloseum = 10 euros
vatican museum = 12 euros but 8 for students
lemme see what else did i pay to go in to see.. i saw the
1. pantheon
2. trevi fountain - my main objective.
3. vatican city church.
4. the bocca della verita weird stone thingy with the face.
5. saw lotsa lotsa ruins. damn THEY ARE BIG !!! the ruins i mean.
6. saw a 5'8" german beauty with blond shoulder length hair, green eyes and the nicest smile u've ever seen. :P couldnt be more than 21 i think. she was with her parents. her father was like 6'3" at least. mom was dressed up in some faux fur maybe. but yeah the daughter really looked sweet. hehe.
7. saw some weird monuments.
8. wouldnt go back there.. if i were to go .. i'd go to the italian roman spas .. yum.. i'd swear never to walk 8 hours a day nonstop. that fler that came with me is crazy !!! non stop like a choo choo train .. one place to another..
remind me never to go on long holiday with him. 4 days is more than long.. 4 days seemed like an eternity.
9. now i know why i don't like travelling. it's like they are cramping all the sights in one go. see already then go.. wtf... u tell me.. si buey sien i tell u ..
i wanted to sit down and enjoy a cup of chiocalato on the sidewalk he said nola.. dun wanna sit down.. dun wanna waste time.. OMG.... oko.. ennough of me ranting about him.

this last one forgot it was some vittorio emanuelle monument. it had real fires burning inside. looks more like a fairy tale.

got my japanese visa.

1 year multiple entries. each entry 90 days. nice ! anyways, i think i did mention that japanese efficiency was also seen in the embassy ???!!?? alright, please scratch that. the time i went was early in the morning and i was one of the first person there so service was fast. i found the service to be comparable to other embassies where they are not really that quick.. well.. can't blame them just that it was my bad luck that my visa wasn't printed. 1. i went in the morning at 10 at stated on the paper. 2. she tried to find it.. couldn't find my passport. and then she said it's not ready yet.. please come back in the afternoon. T_T. (i shouldn't have woken up so early) 3. i went back to the embassy after lunch. took warren st to green park. it was stated severe delays but when i went on it.. it was quite quick. 4. i was the second in line to collect visa. not ready.. T_T.... he said.. 5 mins.. they are gonna print it now... 5. i waited.... 5 mins.... 10 mins.... 15 ...

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other...

rain rain rain ...

i went to thomas global exchange on sunday. there was a long queue just to change money. so indeed my recommendation of the place was correct. it was in a quiet place. but it looked alright. there were lotsa ppl. and ppl who were walking past were very intrigue by this long line in front of a money changer. that's about it. i still need to change a little bit more. so i'll wait for my next round b4 i go there again. it was pissing rain outside. i thought i'd have to wait till it settled down. but as it is with london's rain, it just is not like the torrential downpour back in msia. lighting and thunder. yippee.. i used to hide whenever i hear thunder and see the lightning. and then i grew out of being scared of it. now i'm scared of a different kind of thing. that aside, nothing else is special. i brought food to work today. from the baguette i bought from somerfield on sunday. it was 62p for 4 wholemeal ones. i stuffed it with corned beef i bought from sainsbury. a...
