Rome

"All roads lead to Rome" Yeah, yeah, pretty saying, but what was is it really like in the ancient city? I went there for a week and had a pretty good look at the buildings, the people, the art and all that good stuff. Here is my opinion:

When I first looked down from the plane onto the airport of Rome, my first thought was: "Geez! They need to water this gras!" I soon came to realize that 'watering the gras' doesn't do the job at all, because it is really hot in Rome! When you walk through the city you are constantly looking for shades to hide your skin from the sun, but other than that I really enjoyed the weather. 

Next up: the roman architecture! When you think about Rome you instantly think of the great empire, which was once situated there; with it's beautiful buildings made out of marble, the fine statures of the roman heros and and and. As I said before... That empire is long gone! As a matter of fact I don't think I have seen one building that wasn't patched up like a torn pair of pants! I don't know about you, but I don't consider that beautiful... Same thing goes for the statures. Sure, all that stuff is really old and all... I get it... But I don't like it. 

Churches... Rome is dominated by Christianity and they won't let the slightest chance go, to show how present they are. On one day we went from church to church and I couldn't believe my eyes, how mighty these churches were! As you might guess, I didn't like that either =)

Now what did I like about Rome? Well first of all, pretty much all alcohol is purchasable at the age of 16 - same goes for tobacco. And then the inhabitants... They were probably the best (especially the female part of the population). And last but not least the FOOD! LOVED IT!
