Rome!!

Well, I had an amazing trip to Rome during the autumn break with my host family. Leaving home at 3am in the morning to get to the airport for our 5am flight was brutal, although it meant I was asleep for the two and a half hour plane ride. It was a very enjoyable week, we visited all the main tourist attractions, including the Forum Romanum, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Vatican City and the Catacombs, as well as a lot of other attractions, maybe a few too many churches.
My favourite parts of the trip were definatly the Colosseum and the Vatican City. The Colosseum because I wasmoved being in the presence of such an incredibly old structure, I had also stuided it in my Classics course at school, this made my whole trip to Rome more enjoyable as it provided me with background information on all the structures dating back to the time of the Roman empire. The other thing was the Vatican city, although I do not agree with the Christian faith and the effect it has had on the world, I was amazed by the beauty and craftmanship of the area. St.Peters cathedral is the most impressive building I have ever seen in my life, it is simply an epic and imposing structure. And 'The final Judgement' scence in the Sistine Chapel is one of the most amazing pieces of art I have seen in my life.
But it was good to come back to Denmark after the trip, I was blown away by how crowded Rome was, and I could never see myself living in such a city. School is going well for me, my Danish is also continuing to improve. So life is going very well, but the return date is looming upon us and this is making me very sad, I know it will be very hard to say goodbye to Denmark.
