The same kind of rice raises different types of people...

So those guys from Romania apparently has left, and I started making friends with some good people.

Went to the Piazzale Michelangelo during sunset hours, one of the hot spots that provides panoromic view of the beautiful old town of Florence. Met a guy there who just graduated from UST. Looks like he's going to be my travel buddy in Sienna :-) And then met another guy from CA, USA, who uses a Leica M8 with 35mm Summilux (all sparking new gears!!). I don't know why but Leica users usually have a tendency of praising their equipment. He's like a salesman showing off the nice camera he has in hand... Sigh. But afterall, we all had a good time shooting the beautiful sunset.

And can you believe it? I'm coming back to the hostel for dinner the third night! The food is way too good here for the price. Last night I got a bowl of orecchiette with salmon cream sauce, two big chucks of firm white sea fish fillets with black olives, cherry tomato and olive sauce, salad, bread, and fruit for, again, under 10 EUR! Tonight we're going to have something different. No wonder people are saying that the best Tuscan food can be found from local homes... I was planning to go out for dinner instead tonight, but then when I picked up the restaurant guide, all the best traditional non-pricy restaurants open only for lunch... No wonder Rick Steves pointed out that the lunch is the most important meal for Italians.

Went to Uffizi today, a museum that houses a lot of art works from the most influential artists during the Renaissance period. Unfortunately, it's just not the type of arts that I like...

Alright, will go out for another sunset shooting tonight, and then I'll head to Sienna on bus with the new friend tomorrow morning.

Ciao!
