hello from ROME!
it's my 3rd day here...this place grows on u man. it's great. went for 2 guided walking tours to see every major thing in this city..haha cost quite a bit but it sure was worth the money! unfortunately, we didnt get to see the pope coz he only makes his appearance on wednesdays...oh well. got to see a whole bunch of other cool stuff tho...oh, and we got this special discount to get 5 scoops of gelato for 3.50 euro. haha was crazy good lah but wayy too much. heh cldn't finish all of it so i gave jimmy some of mine...decided ive reached my gelato limit but daniel insists that i haven't. haha he says no one can reach a gelato limit. i once thought so but im not so sure now. anyhow, we may have more tonight...haha last nite in italy anyway!
so yeah, travelling with jimmy and daniel on this leg of the trip and that has been great! tons of fun and very refreshing having other travel buddies join lav and i on our month long grad trip :) i think the highlight of these 3 weeks has really been meeting and talking to people from all over...be it friends from back home who join us along the way, random other people on the street or in the queue with you or fellow tourists or shop keepers or anyone basically! guess i've really been learning from the people around me the importance of enjoying and basking in and soaking up the present. too often back home, i'm caught up with so many things that i don't quite stop to enjoy and embrace what i have now. it's hard to explain really...but simply enjoying walking around, looking up at the sky, the train rides, talking to people you probably will never meet again, seeing things you've only read about or seen on tv, and all that...it's amazing. traveling is amazing...takes you away from the familiar and broadens how you view life and people and cultures and the way people relate to one another. and i think for me, God always seems so much closer and "realer" when im travelling...and there's just something about rome...
anyway, another item for thanksgiving..my final university exam results were released today and i have nothing but a whole lot to be thankful for. seriously...my entire university life has been based on an endless supply of extravagant grace! can't quite believe im completely done with school...can't quite believe how it's all turned out...and yeah...can't believe i'm gonna start work soon! heh but for now, im gonna live up the present...
next stop, GREECE!
