Rome, Italy

Colosseum is one of the many icons of Rome, Italy. Therefore, it is consequential that my post does not leave this out. ( Yes I know, you have seen the pictures of colosseum umpteen times, just bear with me even if you are not suffering from appreciation fatigue.) This time, I will spare your effort of reading by bringing you more video clips. These video clips may not form a contiguous thought, but it is the best I can do.




Now, I have learnt to stay away from all these souvenirs, they will cluster your home like leech.

Can you see the statue of Vittorio Emanuele II.
His statue seems to be ubiquitous in Italy.
Even nuns solicit help from tour director.

Broken stones everywhere




More Broken stones

It is a road at the centre of Rome where we walk from Colosseum to Piazza Venezia.
Can't help myself but to pose for this blog.




Another pose.


TRAJAN`S COLUMN





Two not enough.
I must touch the colosseum.

Ponte Sant'Angelo - Rome


Angels Bridge

My tour guide has a different interpretation about the origin of this bridge. I google and can not find any record which says otherwise. Anywhere, it is a privileged information only known to my tour guide.
OK, this is his version about the bridge for those readers who are yet to learn Cantonese.
In 1869, plague tormented and killed thousand and thousand of people in Rome. The church officials appealed to the God at this particular location for help. True enough, the prayer was answered and angels descended from sky. In return, they constructed this bridge to thank the God.

Making my wish at Trevi Fountain, Rome

Trevi Fountain

This is my second video take as I forgot to make a wish while throwing the coin into the fountain.

Do you think it is easy to become an actor?
