Heys! Jodie's back!!! And have been back since 2 days ago, just didn't hop onto blogger. So MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! ^.^ Yeap, I just came back from Italy. It's a great place, REALLY great place!!!!! I'm not joking! Although the tour was a little rushed since we only had 6 official touring days, it was enjoyable and I really learnt a lot about their history. We got to see many many paintings and art done by famous Artists of the past, like Michel Angelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Bontecello (cant recall his actual name) and many more!!! Got to see lots of cathedrals!!!! They were beautiful! The architecture is just sooo wonderful! Gotta love it! Of course, it IS the house of God, so it's wonderful nevertheless. Ya noe, the baptistry, cathedral and the bell tower are 3 separate buildings, but they all belong to the main church. It's real diff from the churches here, where they perform baptism in the church. By the way, did any one noe that the leaning tower of Pisa (which I saw, SO COOL! was really leaning! Show u guys real soon) is actually a bell tower next to a huge beautiful cathedral? Yes it is! Pretty neat huh?! I didn't noe that till my tour leader told me. hahahah! Venice is wonderful! It's a beautiful place! It's actually made up of many islands tog, so there's mainland Venice and the diff parts out at sea, like the "sinking city". They make wonderful glass ware, and I got to see a glass demo! It was awesome! They make really pretty masks too! My dad got a red glass goblet, and I got a really pretty purple masks and glass candies! They produce lace too, but I didn't get em. Also, I lost my ipod in mainland Venice..... SIGGGHHH! oh welllllsssssI love Florence too! It's a pretty neat city! They are many statues in florence and the Uffizi Museum is HUGE! Like I spent 2 hours just to see 1 out of the 4 floors that they have! really! Rome was really neat too! I love Ancient Rome! It's so magical! It's real interesting to see how the romans lived b4, and how they were actually pretty clever. They were the first to build roads actually. I gotta admit though, Rome's pretty crowded and messy... well it IS the capital of Italy. U noe something, the capical of Italy changed 4 times already. Cant rmb the order, but Milan and Florence and 1 other state were the capital of Italy b4. Cool huh? There's so much to talk abt and so much fun that I've experienced, I just cant vocalise all of it! lol! Went with my cousins. It was so fun! My family and my cousins and family made up like, 1/2 the no of ppl who went for the tour. Altogether there were 23 of us plus the tour guide. Decent size group. Well, Italy is a place where u gotta go visit in ur lifetime! It's filled with Ancient History and culture that u gotta experience. Oh and just on the note, Italian Food IS GOOD! I liked the pasta and spaghetti! Didn't really enjoy the pizza though. heez. Oh btw, did u noe that Spaghetti is like our rice? It's their staple carbos. Besides that, they also have a choice of half baked (steamed) rice. Sorry my friend, I gotta contradict u, Spaghetti in Italy is GOOD, not bad like how u made it sound. Thank you very much.Moving on to when i came back on Christmas. I didn't go for service that day, kinda regret it. I snoozed the whole day cuz we came back at ard 8am that day and I didnt catch a lot of slp on the plane. 26/12- It was a great day! =) Wonderful Wonderful! btw I watched I am Legend on that day. Kinda freaky, with all the zombies and stuff, after that I thought it was a little off track. I didn't really grasp the concept that well. I was hiding behind my friend the whole time haha! Hmmm, I think my veoh video should be loaded up! Currently watching Gossip Girl! I cant get some of the eps and I'm really frustrated abt it. If anyone noes of any good site that supplies eps of Gossip Girl S1 from eps 6 onwards, pls let me noe! Thank You! <33JoJo
