Notes
the location of a hostel/hotel is veyr important and this one really fit the bill. Very near all the important places to see. Air-conditioned and can fit 4 people in a room with attached bath so that's a good one. the only bummer is that there's a cap on how much u can eat for breakfast. they sort of allocate how much u can eat exactly. strange.

I guess it's all about trade-offs. This place is freakin' cheap but that's pretty much what u get. VERY far away from main town and shuttle bus is a ripoff. Apparently no curfew but last shuttlebus makes sure u have to come back before a stipulated time. The good thing is that it's very safe and sleeping in a tent isn't too bad cos it's a new experience and hot showers are there.

There's lots to see and do in Rome. The Trevi fountain, spanish steps, pantheon, colleseum although the colleseum wasn't as impressive as it looks on my desktop wallpaper.

And it is not really that safe I think. I saw a case of pickpocketing in the subway. :-(

I like paris very much, but first of all I have to get more money to spend with my family, I like shopping, travelling and go round the world, that is my dream.

you're right. maybe i didn't give it a chance but this is just my description of what my experience was in paris. if I go back, I may or may not have the same experience. who knows.

I dont agree with you about paris, I think it is by far the most exquisite city in Europe. The people aren't friendly by American standards, but this is a diff culture, and besides, if you live in America, you know the hot controversies about ppl who dont want to learn English who come to this country. Its the same over there, they want you to appreciate their language, and their culture. Anyways, I hope you will revisit it one day and discover the enigmatic ambiance of Paris that can only belong to itself.
