* Australia Day today! Instead of being in Athens where the hostel was giving away meat pies and hosting the Australian High Commission party, we are in Rome where nothing at all exciting is happening in our vicinity. Boo hiss.
* However: we are in Rome! I liked Rome a lot the last time I was here, and I am fully prepared to like it even more this time, even if the weather is shittier. So much good food, and so many churches. (Today we were in one with the most KICKASS MONUMENT-SLASH-TOMB-THING which had a winged angel of death and it was basically the coolest thing I'd ever seen, and I made such excited noises that Mel took a picture with flash (gasp, gasp) because she is great <3
* Things I miss: my TV shows, Asian food, my bedroom, ALL OF MY CLOTHING THAT IS NOT THE CLOTHING I HAVE WORN ON THIS TRIP, my family, my book collection...Asian food...I would murder puppies for some duck pancakes with hoi sin sauce. PUPPIES. ADORABLE BABY PUPPIES.
* On the recommendation of
