Italy the historical country..

After a month holiday and now i'm back to Preston with boringness*..I've always have great expectation of Italy. A country which is full of history and impressive building where i can still see it when i close my eyes! The world’s love affair with Italy continues. The beautiful country might no longer be a blushing bride but this most beguiling of countries still has the power to thrill, to throw up surprises and excite emotion. The wether was really hot as i nearly got sunburn because i forgot to bring my sunblock!!.


1. Rome

Rome is a city of contrasts and martial monuments. Trust me when you first arrive it is easy to see only traffic and hear only the hooters of vespers and cars. Therefore you frequently hear English voices and see people clutching their maps everywhere. Prices are higher than other cities as originally their prices is expensive! There are, however, many areas where you can see another side of Rome . There are quiet shady parks, hidden piazzas and spring water fountains among the world famous monuments and museums. One thing that i really don understand is the universities in Rome do not have language courses for students outside their own programmes. Isn't it weird? as most of the people in italy can't speak english!









2. Venice
a top travel city and a beautiful romantic destination for couple! Highly recommended to couples. It is small, traffic-free streets along the winding canals make for walking. I am suprise that there're not vehicles in center and i realize how stupid i am expect taking a taxi to the resort!. The city is so big and yet i have to walk all the way to my hotel and therefore the roads are really complicated trust me is really complicated!. Besides, you'll find many magnificent churches and palaces, lively squares, and interesting shops. Seafood is a big part of Venetian cuisine as are polenta and rice.








3. Milan

A beautiful place but dirty. Basically its the same as other cities as the street smells because most of the people owns a dog and their pets pees everywhere. Milan is most important fashion designers have concentrated their shops, boutiques, and showrooms in Milan's famous "quadrangle of fashion" district near the city's center. Other than the church is extremely impressive which i can't get it out of my mind~..there's nothing much in milan.












4. Florence

The shopping paradise! But visiting out of season, when it’s cooler and queues are shorter, is a little more restful. Nearly all of the main sights in Florence lie within the centro storico. However, there is so much classic art that even given the city’s small size, it’s impossible to see it all in a short visit. Go for quality, not quantity and don’t feel as if you have to see it all.













5.Pisa

Since the begining of tourism all i know about Pisa is just the Leaning tower, which serves around the world as a shorthand image for Italy. It is indeed a freakishly beautiful building, a sight whose impact no amount of prior knowledge can blunt. I did not explore much is pisa as i went there for only a day trip. unexpectedly! we met thieves but fortunately we got my dad's wallet back its a long story~
