One week in Italy

Finally, the 2-week-vacation's coming. So After a 5 in-a-row horrible test week before
the vacation, I brought my happiness and expectation to the jouryney.

At first, the worry about the weather in Italy bothered me 'coz of the unpredictible weather here. But luckily, the sky was always as blue as the sea, and the sun accompanied me all the time. God blessed me!!! ^^

I've visited 6 cities in Italy- Milan, Roma, Florence, Venisse, Verona and Pisa. Well, the sight of view there was amazing- you could hardly describe all of your admiration with single words. Briefly, Milan is quite moden, Venisse is quite peaceful, Pisa is quite eye-catching, Florence is quite amazing, Verona is quite Romantic and Roma is quite ancient!

Besides the nice view, I've also noticed the difference between a good pizza and a normal one. In Italy, it's less expensive but more delicious than in France!!! You can hardly chooce the kind of pizza that you want in the menu, every one seems so great.

All of above are the good sides, next I'd like to talk a little about the bad side of Italy. Fist of all- their English. It is likely that their English is 10 times worse than the french do. Through my journey, I've always problem in communication with the Italian 'coz most of them don't speak English at all. Secondly, there are a lot of thieves in Roma. Had to take care of the bags all the way during my visite- it's exhausting. And last point: the grade of hotels in Italy is quite non-sense: I've stayed in different four-star hotels all along my journey, but the quality of these four-star hotels is low: maybe in France, they are only 1 or 2 star hotels. And sometimes, a 3-star hotel there is more comfortable than a 4-star one!!

So finally I've uploade a part of photos here as well as in my facebook. So if you like one of them, just tell me. ^^
