another rome in another planet

moving in to this nice 5 stars I presume or at least many stars hotel in the center. I was relieved and delighted. I will meet Fayjai, my old friend that lost touch for quite some time. I actually made my plan to Rome by his invite, it's rare he is around Europe and it's kina a cool idea to cruise around with old friend in Rome. another good reason is - that's what single girls do on Valentines day.

I used to not like him so much (well, I didn't hate him somehow). the reason of the dislike was he always accuse me being a banker, lucky and spoiled girl with rich parents. he never like my boyfriend that time. yet, I think he is a good person somehow. I always believe everyone got their own reasons for something.

It was a shock to me all of a sudden while I was waiting at the hotel lobby, there were 20 more other HK dudes marched in after him. I knew he was with friends but wow, that's more than a handfull, indeed. Fayejai suggested me to go tour around the city with them, so I did, and 2nd surprise was they hired a huge bus - those you see with elderlies all looking out the bus window looking amazed and when you wave to them, they would wave back -yes, those kind of bus. it was cool though. such an unusual idea especially I never done these on my own trips.

my brain was completely blank in the bus, it was amazing that I could worry about nothing - no map, no plans, just sitting there, let it takes me to places. spending time in the tour is like being in Germany, japan or Russia probably. I was totally lost in the mandarin guide but well. I did enjoy it while having rolls of napkins in my pocket for my bad flu.

Rome felt like another Rome in another planet.
