Summertimegrrrrrrrrrrr

Can you believe it? Summertime by that Merck whatever band is our day song!
Bah! I almost screamed and jumped out the window of the bus.

I can here you laughing Kirsty, but its not funny. I think my life may be over.
Actually, well, I just sing along with everyone else, but I am hurting inside.

I am in Florence today. What a nice place! I love it.
What is it about Florence that makes it so nice? Did you like it Kirsty?

Oh my god, still no photos. I think I might tape a large sign to my entire body reminding myself to bring the cable. Lets face it, they are boring anyway. Except the ones of me up to no good.

Some highlights:
- There are gypsies everywhere and they are fun to ignore. We also learnt how to say "go away you dirty gypsy or I will break your little neck" in Italian.
- I saw the leaning tower of Pisa yesterday and frankly it looked straight to me. And only one story tall! Maybe it wasn't the leaning tower I saw then......
- European girls are so hot it is almost unbearable. But I will bear it like a man.
- People are getting stuff stolen, but only the girls. I think my careful possession protection plan is working. Cross fingers!
- Our group is starting to get all big brotherish, with people bitching about others and forming little cliques. Halarious! Let the voting begin. I reckon I would last for ages because my personaility is so neutral and inoffensive.
- The number of massive buildings made over hundreds of years by hundreds of labourers never fails to impress me. So much wealth in the hands of so few sure did make for so impressive symbols of personal ego.

And the rumours are true, Florence does smell like a new jigsaw puzzle on Christmas morning.

  • Hey Andrew, it's Adam from SLC. From what I have read you seem to be having a great time. I had to laugh about your personaility being so neutral and inoffensive. I would worry about the voting...

    So where do you go next? I can't believe you haven't posted pictures, I know I have been looking forward to seeing them so I could live vicariously through you. I have always wanted to see the leaning tower of Pisa, sad to hear it wont be living up to my expectations ;). Hope you continue to have a great time, I have been enjoying reading your posts, you have a very entertaining writing style. I suspect you missed your calling in life.

    I look forward to reading more about the times that you were up to no good, except that can't be true because your personaility is so neutral and inoffensive!

  • Hi Andrew.

    Your personality is much more rude and obnoxious than anything. Also crass. But we miss you.

    I had my corporate box experience on Saturday. It was opulent.

    Ya'll come back now, ya here.

  • See aren't you glad now that I've sung that song to you so many times?! Now you know all the words to sing along too!

    There are a couple of builings by the leaning tower - are you sure you left the car park?

    Florence was wicked. Such a cosy little place, great feeling about it. I went for a walk there at night and hung out with the locals in some square.

    Rome didn't really do it for me (52 degrees C) but I like capri - make sure you go see the blue grotto. At the grotto you can get off the boat and take the bus back down the island (which is what I did and was worth it). That way you get to go through the villages.

    Good to hear you are having a great time - I've been there so I KNOW what you are getting up to....

    Only 3 weeks to my birthday!

  • It must be scary for Andrew too... he knows you've been there, so he knows what you got up to Kirsty!

  • Andrew

    Two weeks gone & not a single Money Masters link in your blog. Frankly, we're disappointed. How are you ever going to get to be our Featured Blog of the week if you don't start concentrating on what really matters - Personal Retirement Planning and the importance of fund selection criteria, instead of all this gallavanting and camping nonsense.

    Plus some photos would be nice.
