Italy Transportation

Italy's Rome transportation

Rome's taransportation cost is cheap. because there isn't excess fare.

Example, Single - EUR 1.00 , Day ticket - EUR 4.00, 3-Day Tourist Pass - EUR 11.00, Weekly Pass - EUR16.00

Subway facilities is very clean and large. Besides, bus is big.

But service and mood is not good.

Subway station is dark and sticky inside station. because there are many moisture.

and we may meet pickpocket. so we must be careful.

Left picture is ticket office.

Right picture is ticket that can used bus and subway during a day (this ticket price EUR 4.)

Using the subways is very reliable because trains arrive at regular intervals.

But, although bus is large and clear, bus have poor transportation.

Ah! we must memorise that taxi is dangerous especially tourists.

If I go to the Italy I will ride only subway ^_^*

Italy Festival

1) Perugia's chocolate festival, Italy

In the middle of every October, Euro Chocolate Festival is held in Perugia, Italy.

This festival is held on the main streets of Perugia and Perugia Square, during which the central part of Perugia is decorated with chocolate and bakery specialists display sculptures made of chocolate.

On the last day of the festival, the sculptures are taken apart and given to visitors as souvenirs.

Every street is decorated with every kinds of chocolate including milk chocolate, dark chocolate, almond chocolate, etc. made by world-famous chocolate companies such as Lindt, Nestle, Caffarel.

I like to chocolate. because this is make to feel happy for me.







2) Venice's mask festival, Italy.

From the middle of February to the early March, Venice in Italy holds Venice Canival.

This festival is a three-week-long festival during which people disguised in masks and costumes enjoy singing and dancing in and around San Marco Square. Also, musical performances, aerobatics, and dancing performances are held at San Marco Square and a famous theater like Campi.

The masks and costumes worn in the festival are so unique to give Venice mask festival compliments that it is the only mask festival in the world.

During the festival, about a million tourists from all over the world visit Venice and the narrow, maze-like alleys of Venice are filled with crowd.

At a mask festival, people forget themselves in routine life and are given a new ego from the moment when they wear a mask.

Everything such as the difference between sexes, classes and religions disappears once people wear a mask.

In addition, there aren't the same things because the masks sold in Venice are hand-made.

If we visit Venice during the mask festival, we can have an exciting experience of striding down Venice, City of Water, day and night.

One of the holidays is Epifania which is on January 6.

Epifania is mean 'appearance'. This commemorates the birth of Jesus and baptism.

People eat 'Galette des rois' which is many appear around Epifania.

There is a broad bean called 'FEVE' that is shaped the three wise man form and animals form in Galette des rois.

When you eat a part of pie, If you find FEVE, you will play role of king.

This food is pie that is sweet and crunch.

Galette des rois is made with almond powder and egg and butter etc.

When a day is Epifania, I hope to go Italy.
