Honey, I am home….

I miss being home. I miss sleeping in my bed. I miss my clothes and shoes. I am glad I am finally home. The second trip was a trip from hell. I had a terrible time and got very depressed. Not to mention, being stuck in the airport because of the stupid BA strike. Well, lets just skip it and talk about the fun part, my first trip.

It didn’t start very well. The “friend” I was meeting over there stood me up. I got a little mad at first but then realized that I don’t really care and I want to live every minute of this vacation. My first time in Rome and shall not be the last. It was sunny and very very hot that my first day there,I got a sun-burn. Shopping was great. I should save up more money and go back soon.

It didn’t take me more than few hours to know I was in love. LOVE. I am in love with that place and with all the gorgeous great looking Italian men. Oh, my, my, they are great. Those Italian men are really flirts. They treat a woman as if she was a princess. Why did I have to come back? WHY?

I met some interesting people that made my vacation an unforgettable experience. First, there was the Canadian couple on their honeymoon. Spending a whole day with a newly wed wasn’t my idea of vacation but hell it was one of a day. Then, there was Elyam, a Turkish girl who was traveling by herself. What a great time we spent together. Then, there was Ahmad, the Egyptian dude that spoke Arabic & Italian and had a crush on Elyam. Well, he is “Ibn Nass”, a chemistry teacher, has a car, and willing to get married like right NOW. He proposed to her infront of like million tourists. LOL, he did more than that but I guess I am keeping it to my self.

OH, and not to forget Tata. Well, technically he was not Tata, he was Cesar from Brazil. When I first saw him, I thought of Tata right away. In a way, he looks a lot like him. Probably they share the same spirit. He was playing his guitar at Piazza Navona when we saw him. After singing for a while, he approached us and asked me to take a picture with him, then he left. Three hours later, Elyam and I came across him while walking. We started chatting and what a sweet person he was. He started singing and made me dance with him. After a while, people started gathering and cheered for us. Some people gave us money. LOL, that was my first street dance and what a fun job it is. I think I will quit my job and work with Cesar. heheh, then, Cesar walked me to my hotel where we exchanged emails. I think I will email him after writing this post.

OMG, so many stuff happened in the last few days but this post is getting long. I will be saving some stories for future posts.

    Yes, I suggest you leave your job immedietly and become a street performer with Ceasar. Who doesn’t like to dance? And you get paid for it. Gr8!

    caramel,
    Yeh I know It is great. Cesar had a full time job in Brazil. Came to Rome with 90 euros only and guess what? in 2 weeks he made 500 Euros from singing in the street. That is more than what I make for less time!
