Italiana? Spangola? Americana? Inglese?

Ohhh Italy! Home to gelato, pasta, pizza and creepers.

After extensive "research" I have decided that I don't really like Italy.
Rome is great for many reasons but most of them have to do with food and churches.

Florence, I am sad to say, I seriously don't like. Really. Everyone I know loves it there but I was hugely disappointed by it and spent 90% of the time annoyed/creeped out by some of the italian men you come in to contact with. All you can do is ignore them while the try to figure out where you're from (Italiana? Spangola? Americana? Inglese?) and run as far away as you possibly can when you're on the same street as four guys and one actually tries to put his arm around you when you're ignoring him. I mean really? Creepy enough???

Italy is all of Trinidad's worst qualities rolled into one giant mess of loud arguments and fights for no good reason, overly loud sirens and incessantly blaring car horns.

Cinque Terre, however, is fabolous. Great people, great sights and I'm sporting a new sunburn thanks to it. Definitely one of the most worthwhile day trips in Europe.

K. Off to bed to catch an early flight over to my favourite major European city, London.
