back from Italy

hi all :)
i just came back from 2 weeks italy and it rocked! rome was
sooo cool, there's too much to see there, venice and
florence rocked too (as did the tower in pisa :D ).
i kinda have bad memories about milano (sorry Woofer ;) )
since i got stuck by accident in that city, i took the wrong
turn on the highway and all of a sudden i was in the centre,
took us about and hour to get back on the track :\

only thing that drove me nuts were the crazy fuckers in the
traffic! christ! they drive like complete fools over there,
still i'd recommend italy to everyone, shame i didn't have
more time to spend there :(
of course it's good to be back home too :)

so what's going on here lately?
did i miss anything?

i went to italy for 2 weeks at the start of June. I did
rome, florence and pisa. It was fuckin ace. Rome is
definately the best out of the three, but man, HOW MUCH
graffiti can one city have?!?

i'm happy you liked italy. well, in milan we really drive
like mads, and it's not easy to find the right way if you
lose the right track. too much traffic here, fortunately i
live in a little country near to Milan (about 12km) and here
i live better. anyway all weekend nights i'll go in the
centre of milan for discopub, club, disco, shops, etc...

the life run quickly in milan, so we're used to drive fast,
and i had problems in Ibiza, 'cos i thought they were too
much slow especially during the rounds.

too much stress here in milan, my friends...

can't remember seeing those, i was only focussing on the
traffic (read: nutscases on scooters).. but isn't there a
duomo in florence too? i'm confused.. :\
i went on that thing with those fucking stairs, i thought
the trip up never ended
the view at the top was rewarding though :)

zeus: see your thread :)

Italy was for me, a land filled with culture and great food,
populated by 80% assholes, with fucking scooters. Sorry, but
i really feel that way.

what you have to understand, is that thats just how italians
are.

they dont have lines, they dont follow traffic rules etc...

but if you actually talk to them and be nice, or if they are
your friends, they are the nicest people

seriously.

its just how they are. I personally love italians.

Still alive but kind of pissed off XLTronic hasn't got it's

resource that Phob has been working on. Is it 18 months we
have been in this messagebaord limbo?

Woofy have you got any reccomendations for places so see in
Tuscany? Not the obvious ones mind you, I have seen
Florence, Pisa etc...

Yes, i know you are by just being here on this board =)

But its just me, being sour over italy. It was the first
place where someone tried to steal my wallet, and people
were generally really unpleasant. I might just been really
unlucky, so....

And also, berlusconi annoys me, yet, he's one of the funnier
politicians!!
So basically, i had some bad experiences, but dont take it
personally! =) Peace.

Welcome back, Mor :)

I enjoyed my stay in Italy as well, but I have to agree with
you: Italians are insane when it comes to driving. We
witnessed a car accident there. Van driving backwards with
50 km/h or so ran over a cyclist. Not the prettiest sight
:\

Italian women however, are very sightly! I am jealous of
you, Woofer :(

Went to Rome.
I suppose the tourist place nr 1in Italy does not give a
realistic image of Italy. I can only imagine how someone
would view Denmark, had they only seen Copenhagen. The real
gold is always out in the country.

One cool as fuck incident in Italy, was this. I was riding
in a bus, that couldnt make a turn because of a car that was
parked wery bad. We sit and wait for about 10 minutes or
something, untill this like exact copy of Hulk hogan, in a
suit comes along and lifts the car away! it was a small car
yes, but i couldnt stop laughing. Then everybody in the bus
cheered at him.... Wery cool guy i must say.

lol!!! an exact copy of hulk hogan... uahahaah...
in italy you can meet also exact copy of ultimate warrior,
randy savage "macho man" and sometime "the undertaker" :)

anyway you should try to visit north's italy too and not by
bus.

(one time an exact green copy of The Incredible Hulk lift up
a bus in front of me...)
