Day 13

Didn't go out much today, though found a mile long flee market where I bought a nice backpack for 15 bucks so I can bring it with me on field trips =D. And also found something for my DS. I didn't have my camera with me so couldn't take pictures. So to compensate, I'll show you guys what I have been doing the rest of the day ^_^

Victorio Emanuella II Monument: Floor Plans ( my 4 years of architecture training =D )

Day 07-08

Did not have internet yesterday so I couldn't post. Yesterday was the first day of class, and the first class I had was a sketching class. I was worried though since I haven't taken an art related class since middle school. Though suprisingly after 2 days of classes so far I love the sketching class the most =P. Today, I met a professor that had the most amazing memory I have ever seen. He was taking us all around the center of Rome with 40 other students. After one round of asking people names, he actually managed to memorize every single student. I've seen professors struggle with only 10 students in a class room, while this guy is walking around Rome telling us the history behind everything and still being able to process each person's name in the back of his mind @_@.

Sketch I did in class of Saint Maria in Trastevere which is right next to the apartment:

Day 06

So it's finally Sunday and I don't feel like going out =P . So I rather post something I thought was quite funny when the class went out for dinner just a little while ago and they served us random bottles of water ^_^

Save the Children, Drink Water
I go for extra light water because regular water is just to fattening for my diet =P

Day 05

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, had a lot on my mind plus having to go out with a bunch of people to go bar hopping i think is the term =P . Though don't worry I didn't drink... Though must say Italians sure know how to party on friday nights. There are at least 2 bars on every block and each of them are packed, I mean like out the door and blocking the streets packed. Well anyway, in order to compensate for the miss post I will post many epic pictures I have took today =D .

Epic Monument: Monument of Vittorio Emanuele II ( Sun got in the way a little =P )

Epic Drink: Ice tea by Nestea next to my bed ( doesn't taste the same as it does in America )
Epic Confusion: Sidong at Circus Maximus
Epic Horse: Carriage in front of the Colosseum

Epic Moment: Colosseum ( One of my favorite pictures tho wanted to play with the shutter speed so that the sky and people would blend but not sure how to do that =/ )

Epic Building: Colosseum (It's Enormous)

Epic Arch: Arch of Constantine

Epic Tree: Circus Maximus ( Stands alone )

Epic Land: Circus Maximus

Epic Dirt : The Island

Day 03

Waking up at 11:00 am this morning expecting the others to be awoken already, but apparently I was alone. What is one to do alone in Rome? So I started my day walking the brick roads of the historic city. About 10 minutes into my lonely journey, I noticed tears running down my face. At second glance, I noticed it was just the rain pouring itself onto the pavement. Awkwardly still walking alone steadily in the rain, I did not feel the slightest bit of wetness. Even so, I came up to a street vendor, who was a Italian speaking Indian ( who would have thought ) , and bought an umbrella for 8 euros. I glanced at my watch, it was about 1:00 pm. I was starving and to be honest at that point I had no freakin idea where I was because I was just walking and did not care where I was. Luckily I managed to find myself back in the same place as I had started, and right across the street was a nice little pizza store that charges 10 euros per Kg. ( <--- felt like changing up the lingo of the posts ) Pictures: My breakfast/lunch of the day =) hmmmm yum
This is me starting to miss food back home T_T
(but not really...eh just a little? ) (Someone has to gimme a name for this thing - referring it to myself right now =P )

Day 02

First time experiencing Rome in the daytime. Just as nice as it was at night. Walking through the streets in Rome, one thing is very apparent. The number of pizza stores are equal the amount of Mcdonalds + Taco Bells in NY. Same goes with the bars and cafes ^_^ . Had my first gelato in Rome and it was AMAZING =D .

Some Pictures: ( More pictures on facebook )


Front door of the Apartment


Front door overlooking the Piazza


And for my Hello Kitty friends =D ( Sanrio is taking over the world )


Found a little place with vending machines that are cheaper then supermarkets =)
( hmm what do I see on the bottom row there )


WTF?! Bear?! and no ID required lol =D

On my way to Rome

After a 7 hour plane ride to Dublin, Ireland, I had a 6 hour turnover time. What is one to do for 6 hours in Dublin??? Of course go get a pint a Guiness =P . eh only one of my friends had one though, not a fan of beer =P.

On the bus into Dublin : (Not clear because of my camera phone)
