Re: Traveling to Italy
The history is cool, but there is Roman history all over Italy and all over Europe to boot. Places like the coliseum are pretty awesome for about 15 minutes until you realize that it's essentially become a huge tourist trap designed to fleece you for as much as possible. I mean, as soon as you're surrounded by thousands of fat german tourists, while some dude dressed as a gladiator comes up to you, trying to get you to pay to take a picture with him, you start to realize it's pretty far seperated from real Roman history. I was far more impressed with other Roman ruins, particularly in the south of Italy.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Spend one day at most in Rome. You will seriously be in awe at how rude the Romans are to outsiders. People everywhere outside of Rome are very friendly in general though. [/ QUOTE ] This is awful advice. Rome is beautiful and you need AT LEAST three days to see everything. The Romans are also very friendly if you get to actually talking to them. I can tell you're a douchebag, especially based on that avatar of your's. [/ QUOTE ] Talk to anybody who's actually seen Rome apart from the the Coliseum and the Spanish Steps and they'll tell you the same thing I did. p.s. the word is "yours" [/ QUOTE ] ummm. i lived there for 3 months, so i actually have first-hand experience with the Romans. i don't need to talk to anyone about how Romans treat people. i had fantastic experiences with Romans because im a nice guy and enjoyed interacting with them. you're clearly a douche and anyone you talk to probably treats you as such, and so you take offense to it and blame them for their actions.

I'm guessing you're the kind of guy who always picks up the tab for all of your "friends."

[ QUOTE ] just wait till adsman drops in on this thread. [/ QUOTE ] Heh, actually I don't have too much to add. Verona has been left out so far, and it's one of my favourite cities. Italy is all about exploring. Don't plan it down to the last detail, just have a general idea and go with it. A friend of mine had a great trip by buying a rail pass and just getting off the train whenever it suited him. Obviously you can't do this in the high season or you'll never have a room. Come up to Trentino and drop in to my club if you want. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] That location rings a bell with me.... How far is that from Pordenone?

When I was living there I had a set of Italian friends that wouldn't let me spend a cent with em. One of em even flew out to Arizona to visit me. Absolutly awesome people. BTW - Any of you all been to Aviano and visited the California club?
