Pisa Centrale : Sakit tulang belakang tgk Pisa

Sambungan eurotrip aku, from Venice we headed to Florence or otherwise known as Firenze in Italy. We quickly went to our hostel and left our bags there to catch the next train to Pisa Centrale. Pisa is a small town outside of Firenze, about 1 hour 20 minutes by train.

We only allocated half a day for Pisa since there's nothing else there besides the leaning tower. At least we thought it was half a day. By the time we reached Pisa it was already 4 pm and in Italy by 5.30 - 6 pm the sky would go dark, so we had to take pictures a.s.a.p. So we were walking like crazy and this Pisa thing is not near the stazione at all, about 20 minutes gak aa. Itu pon jln laju. Tak sempat nak usya2 awek. Basically, we just went to the leaning tower, took some pictures, bought some souvenirs and went back to Firenze.

Nih yg sakit tulang belakang nih. Posing same senget ngan Pisa.

This is the church next to the Pisa. Basically the leaning tower of Pisa was built to show how big Christianity/Catholicism(notsure) was at that time

King Kong jeles gua lagi besar dr Pisa

The church and the tower at a glance

At the end of the day, on the way back to Firenze

For everybody's infomation, what is so interesting bout the leaning tower of Pisa is that, it was built that way. It's not leaning one way bcoz tanah tuh mendap ke ape. But the architech built it that way so that it'll have some significance in the future and it has. For me as a future engineer, I was amazed how people from that time could think about things like that. They don't have proper education like we do, everything they have to figure out themselves and yet they amazed me with their creations. To tell you the truth, I only learnt that Pisa was built that way only when I was standing in front it, mesmerized by the architecture. Hopefully one day I'll be someone who creates something that would make other people stare at my creation at awe.

Is Siti Nurhaliza really that generous???

Hello everybody, I just saw this in Utusan yesterday. It appeared that Siti Nurhaliza or her company, Siti Nurhaliza Productions donated RM500,000 to Yayasan Anti Dadah or something. Apparently, Siti is very concern with the involvement of our youths with drugs.

Put all biases aside, is that what you called a donation? Then why did Siti do it in public that everybody could see her donating such huge amount of money. C'mon aaa if you want to donate, ikhlas aa sikit. Takyah nak carik publisiti plak. It looked as though she wanted everybody to think she's a good person. Even her smile was fake. Maybe she is a good person but the fact that she donated money in the eye of the public doesn't make her a respectable person. That's my opinion aaa. If you wanna do something good like donate money or whatever, do it privately. Only God needs to know that you're doing a good thing, not others.

Venezia Santa Lucia : The Italian Job

So the next morning after spending a day in Milan, Giant and I took a train to Venice. You must be thingking that we were going to one of the most beautiful places in the world. You thought since you watched The Italian Job and in that movie Venice was so damn beautiful, you figured that we might be having the time of our lives over there. Well, that's just bullshit!! We covered everthing in just one day. And I quote from Nick Gani "Venice is over-rated coz in the movies you see the city with beautiful views and everything ... only when you go there baru sedar there's nothing big in the city." Panjang tuh quote jgn main2 but Nick already warned me about Venice before I went on my Eurotrip.

I mean there were nice views but not as extravagant or bizarre as the Hollywood movies make you think it would look like. Even the water is dirty, seriously. It was just as dirty as Sungai Gombak but this one was green. Dekat bangunan tuh boley nampak lumut2 from the greenish water.

There were only 2 interesting places pon kat Venice, the bridge and the St. Marco Square. Forgot the name of the bridge though. And then the gondolas. At first, Giant and I thought of going for it but after covering everything in just one day, rase cam x menarik plak. King Kong said "kalau gi ngan awek xpe gak .. nih gi ngan ko." Macam aku nak je naik ngan die. Si King Kong tuh naik gondola tuh garenti tenggelam terus .. mmg selamat aa die x naik ngan awek die nanti tenggelam skali krohkrohkroh.

Another thing, when both of us were enjoying the scenery nih, suddenly came 3 Italian police officers asking for our passports. Gua pon menggelabah aa x pasal2 masuk lokap. Nanti kene ketuk ketampi dlm keadaan berbogel ... ngan Giant plak tuh .. nasib malang aa gamaknye. Thank god it was nothing but the funny thing was the officer x pasal2 tanye pasal Sandokan. Gua pon pelik aaa apehal tetibe Sandokan plak nih. Selamat Giant teringat Sandokan the Malayan Tiger, cartoon zaman dahulu kala. Apparently, kat Italy Sandokan is quite famous. Siap ade movie lagi.

As you can see, mmg x menarik Venice nih.

This is the view from the Rialto Bridge, baru teringat. Gua tgh amik video awek krohkrohkroh.

This is the St. Marco Church which right in front of St. Marco Square. Busy gile area nih

This is the Square. Penuh gile ngan burung sial sume gemok2 asyik kene suap ngan kacang2. Actually best gak bagi makan kat burung. Skali bagi mmg 50 burung dtg kerumun

Posing with the gondolas. Belakang tuh either a church or something like that kot. I didn't go coz kalau nak gi kene naik bot and aku nak saving. So amik gamba dr jauh je la gamaknye

This is somewhere near St. Marco Square. ramai org but nice view.

Gua x posing tapi pengayuh gondola tuh yg posing

Gua melayan emosi

We stayed in Venice for 3 nights and the 3rd day, we didn't know what to do. Dah cover everything so jln pusing2 buat bodoh je. What a waste.

Milano : The Mafia

On the same day we were in Monaco, we left for Milano Centrale Stazione. We took a late train and arrived in Milan around 11 pm. Since it was already late, we figured that we might as well ask somebody to get directions to the hostel instead of just using a bloody map. We didn't ask the travel infomation center or anything, we asked a bunch of security guards and to our suprise, one of the dudes spoke in fluent English and he's Italian too. WTF??? When we were in France, nobody knew or wanted to talk to us in English. Here, even a Pak Guard pon tau how to speak English.

So, led us to our hostel and to our shock the streets were deserted. Kosong. Nobody was there. There's some sampah sarap on the streets which made them looked even more scarier. The streets looked like in Godfather or Scarface where the Mafias operate. Cuak sial. Selamat ade Suria Perkase yg sudah Hitam utk menyelamatkan keadaan. Krohkrohkroh.

There's nothing much in Milan except for the Duomo(church), unless if you're a soccer fan like myself, you can go to the Sansiro, AC Milan and Inter Milan's stadium. But actually I didn't go there coz it was quite far from the city but I did buy a lot souvenirs from the 2 Milan teams.
Believe it or not .. Bata is not just a stupid brand that sells Bata and Power shoes. In Europe Bata is established for selling quality women's shoes (high heels that go up to the knees). You can find Bata stores close to Armani stores .. how weird is that? Bata is a high class brand tuh.

Posing bace map

"Aku dulu cita2 nak jadik pemandu F1"

This is right in front of the Duomo. Sort of like a Square (Trafalgar Sq. etc)

This is the Duomo itself. From outside it is beautiful. Nampak classic abih

Nih plak the entrance to this exquisite mall. If i'm not mistaken this building was built a long time ago. Byk awek2

Posing depan air terjun sikit

Enjoying my Fonzies a.k.a Twisties Italy Perise keju lagi

Mr Lonely kegersangan

I'm sorry but I don't whut's the name of this 'thing'

Pretty much there's nothing in Milano and I don't look forward o coming here at all. If there's a soccer game boley kot but that's it.

Monaco : Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous

On Jan 5th, we woke up early to get the hell out of the damn hostel. Tak tahan nak melayan makcik tua nih cakap French. Just imagine the old lady was talking to me for 10 minutes without me understanding whut the fuck she was talking bout'. Pressure x ingat. Anyways we took the morning train to Monaco. We arrived there quite early too about 10 am (10 is considered really early for us) since the train ride was about half an hour. At that time, we were still stupid enough not to realize there was a storage place to keep our heavy backpacks. So we had to carry our backpacks around.

There's not much of a difference if you wanna compare Monaco to Marseille. The view was beautiful since both of them are sort of cam gulf aaa tapi kecik punya. Scenery sume lawa gila. But there's one big difference aaa. The people who live in Monaco are all fuckin' rich. I'm not kidding. I was just standing at one of the main streets (tgh tunggu King Kong nak abis gayut ngan awek die), berderet kete2 mewah jln. Rolls-Royces and Bentleys were everywhere. Heck, there was even a Ferrari workshop there and an Enzo in the garage too. I saw an Aston Martin, Lambos .. it's like a fantasy place where all the luxury cars are there. Daymmnnn!! The people there made me feel really small aaa ... since most of them are millionaires. Terase kerdil sungguh.

Besides the luxury cars and the scenery, there weren't any attractions in Monaco. Basically we just walked around je. And waiting for King Kong calling his gf pon boley tahan lame gak.

Since Bob insist nak tgk gambar without me in it, tunjuk aa satu. This is taken from inside the train (Nice to Monaco)

This is right in front of the train station. Baru sampai.

Since Monaco is very famous for it's racing circuit (formula 1), there were a couple of these around the city

Control macho sikit

I'm not sure bout' the name of the place but sort of macam this one whole street yg cam shopping area

Beautiful eh?
