ROMAAA
Before going there l made a lot of search on the internet as Italy has many places to be visited. In fact every part of it is more beautiful than each other . But l had to choose some places of it as l had poor student budget. I decided to go Roma , Florence and Pisa . When l got off plane at airport , l was shocked with the weather. It was sunny , wind was so hot. I was regretful bringing thick clothes. I realized that I really missed that weather so much. Firstly I went to Roma. Roma was like Istanbul. Smell of history was everywhere . In many streets there were different historical structures. When l saw Coliseum ,l was a bit disappointed . It was not as big as it was shown on TV. But when l thought ages of it standing up , l appreciated structure. 
There were many holes and most parts of it collapsed and were demolished . When l saw cellars and amphi ,it seemed so cruel to me to make warriors kill each other. Structure of it depicts how bad things happened there. There l have learnt that after acceptance of Christianity , Coliseum was plundered and was cursed. It also explains why there are so many holes on it. Because bronze and derivative works being ripped were used in constructing of Vatican . Next to Coliseum there was a triumphal arch . It was a door which was erected for memory of victory won against Jews by Emperor Constantine. He is very famous in our country . Because Constantine is the person who gave old name of Istanbul `Konstantin polis` . Even though l bought `Roma pass` which is a card that you can use for all kind of transportations in Roma freely during three days, l didn’t use it more than two times. Because l wanted to walk every street of it. 
Roads are excellent . They reflect beauty of art , harmony , history. But l should say streets aren’t as much clean as like other European countries and were so narrow. There was so much traffic as well. There were clothes around apartments. Then l went to the Trevi Fountain . It is believed that visitors who throw 2 coins to pool of it will come to Rome again in one day. I also did the same. I wait the time to go there again soon. There was also a long queue to throw coins. You really should have seen the money in the pool. There was a fortune. If the responsible people don’t empty pool it will overflow due to coins. Later l have learnt that coins are used for poor people in Italy. In each meal l tired to eat pizza as I was in the original country of it . But later eating pizza three times in a day began to be boring although l wanted to try all variety of it. 
Then I went Spanish Steps. It was so near to the Trevi Fountain. There were many steps more then one hundred. When it was first done ,it was the longest steps in Europe. At the top of steps you can see landscape of Roma. There were lots of painters who draw you caricature or picture according to your wish. And l saw a church and a stele which was brought from Egypt. I really liked the caricatures . So I have painter made my caricature. Actually it wasn’t like me but was funny. There were shops in which most expensive brands are sold . So l just put up with window-shopping. There was a huge crowdedness. This place is famous for stealing as well. So if you go there certainly you should be careful every time . There were many black street peddlers . You can buy from them imitation of famous brands in cheaper price as well. If you bargain , you can buy cheaper. I bought a 30 Euros-bag just to 15 Euros . l also went to Vatican city Florence and Pisa which l will mention later.
