When in Rome, Get Lost

Photo essay: One day in the Italian capital

by Jahanshah Javid
04-Dec-2010
 
I'm going to be in Italy for the next couple of weeks, more or less, depending on how quickly I run out of money. I got to Rome last night and today I planned to take a tour of the city. Well... Plan B wasn't too bad either! Tomorrow I'm off to Verona. Also see photos of my Roman dinner :)

When in Rome

by comrade on

Get laid. Then smoke, drink, eat, and confess in the nearby church... Or go to Napoli to get robbed.

Enjoy your trip, JJ.

Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.

JJ jan,

As we say here, In Rome do as Roman do ;-)

I didn't comment your blog tarakidam because of messy thread.

However bon apetit, Italy is the only country where food is as well or even better than France.

Shad bashi.

Thanks Maziar!

JJ's reply was like speed dating! He is trying to talk to 5 people at the same time and getting them all wrong! 

All you can eat is the way to go for JJ!

Dolomiti

by maziar 58 on

Monda khanoom cortina is your destination.

split in the former yoguslavia is across from Italian pescara and rimmini. and the mountanniouse roads leading there have a similar Italian name to it.   

P.s JJ that menudo!! (was faramarz khan's) suggestion I would have sent you to numerous ALL YOU CAN EAT along trastevere after 11 p.m !!Maziar


Anahid Hojjati

Wow, Dear JJ, what lovely pictures

by Anahid Hojjati on

On the other blog (the one about Molana that has turned into smart phone discussion), I wrote to Anonymouse that I am not into changing to Apple or travelling too much but then I look at these pictures and get so tempted to travel more. You make  a good case for travelling more by the fantastic pictures you take. These are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I want your life JJ!

Dalmatia?

by Jahanshah Javid on

Hm... Thanks Rea! Don't know where Dalmatia is, but thank god for google. I'll check it out. I'm going to Verona tomorrow until Sunday. After that's it's a blank. I'll let you know.

Thanks Darius! I'm leaving tomorrow... next time, I hope :)

***

Mamnoon Anonymouse. My hostel is right next to the Termini station. I'll be back in Rome, I hope, before this trip is over. Scooter sounds great!

***

Yes Maziar, Verona... Romeo-Juliette! You said the magic names. I've been wanting to go to my Mecca for some time :)

***

Thanks Souri! I'm only going to be here a few more hours. I appreciate the offer :)

***

Doktor Mohandes... Souri ro azyat nakon, please!

***

Ah Maziar! I wish I had read your comment earlier. I just had dinner... Arrabiata again. It was good, but would have tried the Trippa alla Romana instead.

***

Kazem! I'd love to see the catacombs. Next time!

Don't miss the Catacombs

by kazem0574 on

Tunnel after tunnel of ancient underground cemeteries;  all of the city's catacombs are located on the outskirts of modern Rome usually along side major roads. Best ask to see the best ones.

Bloodcurdling but fascinating to see.

DM jon

You kill me ...lol

Don't say that. They say sometimes morgh aamin balaye sareteh!

Believe me this happened to me when I was young, and now I avoid saying the prediction!

Now if JJ goes there and something happens by accident, everybody will get suspicious at me!!!

Baba JJ jon, to ro khoda naro ounja!

But you can't help it, it's the center of everything in Rome.

Anyway, if by lack of chance you will have a need to see a doctor or a pharmacist, also you contact  me.

Ey vay az daste in doctor mohandes!

If you like tripe, then try this dish. Have fun!

If you don't know anybody there

by Souri on

and you like to have a friend as a guide to show you the city. let me know. Otherwise, Rome is a small city, just with a simple map, you can get to every where you like. Don't forget the Trivia(Trevi) Fontain. Fontana di Trevi

And drop  a small coin there for me.

Beautiful pictures, BTW. Thanks.

khosh behalet jj ....

Got home sick ! quasi.

hope to see more of Rome from you (vassfol eysh- nesfol eysh ).

Verona has only the opera house and romeo -juliette sight to see but beautiful scenery if you can rent a car and drive north (cortina d'ampezzo) skiing in december ! Maziar

JJJ get one of those open top buses near the train station.

by Anonymouse on

Termini? or something or the other.  I think they're like 20 or 30 euro for 24 or 48 hours, but they're really worthed.  You can get on and off at different stops and wonder around.

Rome is really nice.  So much to see and do.  I'd also recommend renting a Vespa.  I think there is place close to where you are near the Termini area that rents them.  Pizza is oh so delicious too!

Italy as a whole has so much to see and do.  I'd stay away from Naples, they say it's all messed up or something.  But Florence, Venice, Pisa, Sicily if you have time and ....
