Uscita lato destro





I will start with the end, so it might look like it has never ended…. The flight back to Prague was the most noise one and the most crazy one. Plane was filled with Italian teenager (mostly girls) with no guardian. They were screaming during the take-off, yelling during the whole flight, and again screaming and clapping hands during landing. One gets the feeling as on rollercoaster (BUT on the rollercoaster you need to bear the noise and scream just for max. two minutes… not for two hours and something...). Bravoooo!”, still sounds in my ears. After that I appreciate to be back home (even though I have to study a lot right now).

 

Things I’ve seen in Rome, nowhere else:

- many many much scooters 8-)

- so many Smart and Mini cars

- so many beggars – even fake beggars!!!

- too many historical monuments. I feel exhausted after running from one to another for 4 days and I also feel little depressed than we haven’t seen a half of it!

- people wildly trying to get inside the Metro, while people from inside are trying to get out, basically “no-line-respectful”

- such a concentration of "Gelaterias" (ice-cream shops), yummi!

Basically Rome is a wonderful city. In the small old streets (built with absolutely no logic) u can easily get lost… how romantic. Stilll, you can mind the dirt on the street and homeless people sleeping everywhere (I mean everywhere, even at the entrance to Pantheon!). Nevertheless, Romans are warm-hearted, nice people always with a smile on face. They are amazing cooks and even better rhetors. According to average luxury levels of the cars, I would also say they’re good businessmen (or are priests driving Alfa-Romeo’s and Porsche’s?).

 

As I mentioned, street are too short and narrow and cars trying to get into the centre are many – I guess that’s the reason why they use Smart cars and scooter with such a popularity.

 

See Rome and die. Is this phrase right? Have I seen everything now and it’s safe to die?

 

I say:“NO!”. I say:”NEXT…!”
