Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are back from Florence. I must re-write my list of 5 favourite cities because Florence will be right there at the top. We had wonderful holidays and Mr. Alexander made some gorgeous pictures. In short:

- I have seen so many paintings and sculptures by Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo Da Vinci that my head is still spinning

- Ice-cream in Florence is the best in the world

- In Florence everyone has a bike or a scooter and uses these means of transportation whilst wearing high-heeled shoes and without wearing any protective suits.

- I have developed a great like for Mr. Iain M. Banks' novels during the course of holidays

Fannish metters

I am in desperate need of a new Western show to watch and will be thankful for any recommendations. Just before the holidays I have discovered absolutely great (although short) Canadian show "Durham county". I highly recommend it and will try to make a proper post.


Asian drama matters

I am watching "Orthros no inu" and loving it. OMPH! Takki is so grown up and pretty! If only Nishikido Ryo and Takizawa Hideaki were cast in the Japanese re-make of "Mawang" instead of the ugly leads that were cast for "Maou"!!!!!

I have also heard that the second season of "Durham county" is not as good. I have it but I am half-reluctant to watch because I really REALLY liked the first season - it is atmospheric, full of twists and simply great.

But OMPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seoul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ** is totally speechless **

Yeah, Seoul! ;P We are leaving next Sunday and staying a bit over 2 weeks. It feels... odd, ha. I've been looking forward to it for such a long time and at first wasn't even sure I'd be able to go this year.

Gosh, this sounds wonderful. 2 weeks!!!!!!!!! Imagine all the amounts of glorious food you'll be able to eat. :D

I know!!! The thought of all that food is making me salivate. The metal chopstics are going to be a challenge though. ;P They are mighty tricky to handle.

To my shame, I can't handle the chopsticks well. I am sure you'll be very good at using them 9even metal ones) after two weeks. :D
