One of the most amazing trips of my life was in year 2000, in Italy. The occasion was the Jubilee year celebrated by the Catholic church - maybe you remember the news on TV  talking about 1 million young people gathering from all around the world to Rome. I traveled with 58 other people f…

It wasn't working out with my girlfriend of more than two years, being stuck in a long-distance relationship (I in Singapore, she in Mexico) the least of the causes and the farthest from our worries. I didn't have the heart to end it, but somehow it broke mine when finally one September morn she ca…

Ok, so I am not very religious and Rome has like a million churches to visit. So I visited like half of them because once you've seen a church, you've seen them all. So when I got to Rome, checked into my hostel and went out to explore the city. I liked the culture, the people, the FOOD!! I had all…

Rome, Pompeii, Tuscany & Venice. July 2006

After leaving the Vatican, we went to a park nearby and spent the rest of the morning there.  After walking around the city some in the afternoon, we decided to find the cheapest gelato store in all of Rome, and set out to compare prices.  After a while, it got really difficult to keep al…

I loved the food in Rome. I actually love Italian food altogether. This was my first time having authentic Italian food, and I fell in love instantly. Everywhere we ate, the food tasted fresh and was full of flavor. I had a lot of noodles, and tried Risotto for the first time. I now love Risotto, b…

World cup 2006.... just a dream!! :D A set of photos I found in the web.

The last day in Rome was great for many reasons. First of all, no class, and second of all, we got to see some of the coolest stuff the Christian Church has to offer. This morning, we went on a tour of the Vatican Museum, seeing all of the great works of art. The Sistine Chapel was very nice,…

Italy was everything that I hoped for ... beautiful, romantic, rich in history, and had the best food and wine that I've ever tasted. Every town had its own character and beauty. I came to love bread, mozarella, olive oil, and sundried tomatoes ... and vino of course!

So my 16-day adventure in Spain and Italy is coming to end...this is my last night in Rome :(   I have had the time of my life and am sad to see it end.  Back to the routine of NYC.... All of the cities that welcomed me -- Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Torino, Florence, and Rome...I hav…

Month-long graduation trip with my friend Erica.

Middle East-The land of neverending conflict, struggle and dispute.Three weeks of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon,Jordan and Sinai, Egypt. This is where epic cities of antiquity rub shoulders and architectural aspiration.Prior to that pre-backpacking to Toscana Italia, summer 2009 will long be remembered. Predominantly an Islamic region,it is one of the most misunderstood region and religion in the world.

Early in the morning we take a bus to Arrezzo, where we catch a train to Rome. This is a lovely old train with compartments that look like rooms. Every cabin has it's own door and can seat some six to eight people. Since it's early we have one all for ourselves. I enjoy the ride because the vie…
