My Italian trip.
When I after visiting Buenos Aires tried to answer on question "How it was?" it was difficult. The reason is because I was satisfied and disappointed in the same time. And I called that story "The city of controversial feelings".
Last week I come back from Italy. And now I know that I never was so confused about my feelings like now. Lots of sun, brilliant food, people are polite, streets are clean... But I never saw so shabby buildings! Even in really touristic places! Nobody cares about building's looks. Also I was surprised about size of coffee. I heard a lot that Italian coffee "the best!". My expectations were exciting. I'm a coffee addicted. So I used to normal size of cup or mug! In Ireland and most of other countries you can choose the size yourself! However in Italy it's only really small cup of cappuccino! I don't talk about expresso, I know it must be small.
Further, you can get from one city to other by train. It's very easy. One problem, you should buy tickets more than one month for good prise. Otherwise it's a rip off! And you shouldn't surprise if the train will late for 3, 5 or 10 minutes. Mostly it's not necessary to be in time.
As well I was exciting about Roma! It's unreal when you walk through the city and on the one side you see modern buildings but on the other ruins!
I don't have overall meaning about Italy. However I sure I want to repeat my trip!
