Buon giorno. I’m back from my winter holidays in Italy and boy was it just awesome. It was laughter all the way from the start till the end. I can tell this and that about how fun it was, but knowing me, you know I don’t bother with details. But I can tell you this much, we had the best group that we could get and I never went to bed a single night sober.
We pretty much covered most of the cities up north. Turin (Torino), Florence (Fiorenze), Rome (Roma), Vicenza and Venice (Venizia). I have the obligatory pictures with the leaning tower, Colosseum and what ever not but I rather not show them to you. Instead, I’m gonna show you what we did in Italy besides sight seeing.

So there you go, the pictures. As you can probably guess, we drank quite a bit. So what ey. We had fuck loads of fun. There is another thing that we did along the journey. We created out very own ‘shit we said’ list. We kinda compiled all the funny/stupid stuff we said or heard. And this is it. Note that some might not be funny, but it was to us at that time. We laughed, that matters most.
Avi – Phai, u know right that Rome is bigger than Florence (duh, fuck it is!)
Avi – Roti che kuch kala kala heh (supposed to be dhall che kuch kala kala heh)
Balin – I was thinking tht Italy was like Russia, lol
Sanj – Which country is Malta in?
Black fellow in Florence : What you need bro?
Avi – Where’s the bus stop? (on a weed hunt)
Sanj – Dude, pass me the camera.
Avi gets up from the bed, walks all over the room, and realizes the camera was on the bed
Andy – calls our hotel room and asked us where are we (typical andy)
Sanj – actually there are not many small towns in Italy but actually all are small towns (what the fuck is he talking about)
Avi – Sanj asked Avi which highway is this when we were in Venice, and he replied the highway to Punjab.
Avi – There are so many tolls on the way to Venice. Sanj: And I thought Sami Vellu was bad
Balin – ‘Every dog has his moment’, he almost breaks the hotel lamp after saying it
Avi – When we arrived at our hotel in Venice, Avi says ” I am dam disappointed that we did not arrive at our hotel on a boat”
Sanj – After 1 glass of stout in Venice, phai fellow asks for another Guinness ‘scout’.
Andy – ‘I still haven’t defrosted my body yet’, lunch at a restaurant after walking for hours in the cold at Venice
Italian waiter in Venice- We asked him where were we, fucker replies ‘here’
Avi – Damn la warm la dei
Sanj – Ya la, feeling damn cold.
Sanj – ‘never had the problem, never went to school’ when talking about having a quick smoke in school so that we don’t get caught.
Sanj – What’s that perfume called? Laugh Lauren.. (Ralph Lauren)
Avi : ‘I wanna get CK One sexy chick’, referring to that new perfume by CK
So that is my round up on Italy. On the whole, it was an awesome place to be. The people are friendly, the food is good, drinks are cheap and the weather is pretty fine, generally. Unlike this God forsaken place called Moscow. In fact, any place would be better than Moscow.
On that note, ciao!
