My third day in Italy.

I'm now sitting in the most expensive area in Rome surrounded by Prada, Gucci, LV......all the big names you can think of. I had my first Italian tiramisu. It's good, but not that good. Maybe Ling and Siu Kuen would like it......

I've been walking hard: the Colosseum, the Forum, and something I wouldn't know even I've been there. I've been rather lazy, not very eager to see too much, and they dun seem that interesting neither. It's more like a holiday away from work than a backpacking trip. Like just now when I was in the Colosseum, I forced myself to feel great to see this ancient thing, but I was just not excited. I just walked around, see what's there, then move on. Many people came with their families, it made me think of mum and dad...how good would it be if they could come with me......so I wrote them a postcard....I dun wanna force myself to do anything, I dun wanna have the feeling that I'm wasting time here, anyway, I'm in Rome right....it should be a Rome holiday....=)

我跛了。

太努力去找那些在地圖上很接近的景點，結果我跛了。在廣場上毫無廉恥地脫下鞋襪已見血跡斑斑。我的 converse 也死了。雙腳已痛得不能再走。我甚至絕望地向警察求助（警察哥哥好帥，但一點英文也不會！＞ｏ＜）！最後還是唯有靠自己一柺一柺爬回火車站去。雖然已經痛到入心，還是把心一橫買對新鞋再回去。於是在Walker shop買了對香港沒有的灰＋燈 Presto！既然都拿出了信用咭，於是又買了件 Harry Potter t-shirt 給阿貞。女人，腳跛了還要shopping，哈！

I had dinner with Anna and Alice tonite, coz this is the last night of their trip. I met them in the hostel, they are the only two who talk to people. Talking about that, I've never been to a worse hostel. The first day I came, a couple was making out in the room and they put up a face of 'how-dare-you-disturb-us'; wet and dirty clothes are everywhere. But the worst thing is nobody talk to anybody. I said hello to people in my room and they dun even bother to give a smile! >o< Okay back to Anna and Alice, we had pizza tonite, and this is the first time I finished a pizza by myself. Not a piece, but the whole of it. They said I will get used it.

I'm very tired...and 周身骨痛.....it's great to have new shoes, but......I got the feeling that they would be stolen somehow. I even thought about put them on my bed. Now I've hid it behind my backpack, it should be alright...I better go to sleep.
