My Italy trip

Overall, the Italy trip was still a sucessful one. However, I think the trip can be shortened to 7 days haha. We overestmated the time we can spend in each places. But there were a lot of things worth mentioning in Italy.

Venice - A beautiful city for couples, not for young travelers ha!

It is really beautiful there, but only limted to a number of tourist spots, esp the St. Marco Plaza. Of course you can not compare the casino in Macau to Venice. The scenery here was much nicer. There were canals running through the whole city. If you have money, it is good to travel on a boat or ferry. But that really cost a lot. Taking a ferry for one time costs 6.5 euros!

Venice used to be a very important city for trade both with the west and the east. It traded with Britian as well as China. Becasue of this reason, Venice is famous for the glass making industry as it combines the technique of the East and West

St. Macro Plaza

Florence - Beautiful acient city, the origin of Renaissance

It has great art museum in Florence - the Uffizi and the Academia. I did go into the museums but personally I think the one in London is better coz there are more explantion on each painting/statue. In Academia , there are the most famous statue placed inside - David.

You can observe the artist was paying great attention to the muscle/ structure of the body, forming a very realistic body shape of a human. This is very different from the arts before Renaissance.

Nice scenery from Michaelangelo plaza

Rome - City with great history and food!! I like it the most.

I like the Coloseum the most in Rome. It is the most amazing buidling ever. A building standing here for over 2000 thosand years still remains very good in condition. Coloseum was built by the Flavian family, first started by Vespasian and completed by Titus. After rule of rude emperor Nero, Vespasian wanted to showed the difference from Nero. He built an the existing Coloseum on the man-made lake of Nero's palace, making it a place to entertain the public. The public also has a chance to see the emperpor in person, enjoying the match together.There were different kinds of match happening in the arena, man vs man, man vs wild animal, wild animal vs wild animal. The gladiators include free men, prisoners, slaves etc.

Trevi Fountain
I like this statue the most

Very very nice Gelato - Only 2 Euros! (near Vatican city)

This is an extremely good gelato shop that I want to recommand to everyone!You can choose three tastes and they will add some cream on the top for you. The ice cream is freshly made and you can really see the seeds of strawberry in the ice cream!! See the map below!
