My Blue Heaven

I think I’m in love…

With Europe! Just came back from Verona, Italy on the weekend. It is so beautiful there. Just so different. The culture so rich, the architecture so old and beautiful. I took heaps of pics, which I will endeavour to get uploaded. (Hm methinks my server is starting to run low on space. :() Anyway, I really wanna see more of Italy. I love it there. The food is just awesome. And the coffee is… simply divine. I’ve never tasted such good coffee in my life. I didn’t even need to add sugar to my caffe latte.. coz it tasted soooo goooood. Coffee is a big part of Italian culture. They don’t have pubs there.. they have cafe/bars.. which serve both alcohol and coffee any time of day. And the locals just stand at the bar, order an espresso and drink it down like a shot. Heheh. Oh, and the gelati. Mmmmmm.. words cannot express how good it is! I think I must have shaved about 5 years off my life from the amount of coffee and gelati I had over the weekend. 😛

I did a bit of sightseeing and stuff. But the main attraction there is the ancient roman arena. The 3rd largest roman coloseum left. And during summer in Verona they have the Opera Festival at the Arena. So of course we had to take the opportunity to watch an opera in a roman arena in Italy! We saw La Boheme.. classic tragic opera. Was very cool – I think this is the first time I’ve ever watched an opera. I quite enjoyed it. 🙂 And its quite cool walking inside the arena, knowing that it’s been standing there for like 2000 years. Sends a tingle up the spine.

Also went to see Juliet’s balcony.. was sooo crowded with tourists. Its quite funny.. the wall inside is absolutely covered with writing and notes.. love notes. People writing “Julie 4 Steven 4ever” etc etc. Hehe. Kinda romantic, kinda not. Heheh. There was a really long queue for girls to go stand up on Juliet’s balcony! Quite funny.

Anyways, better get back to work. Ugh. Thats the worst thing about going away – coming back to the daily grind. 🙁
