Flying on a jet plane

Tomorrow is the day I'm flying back to US. Weeee!!! Well, I'm going to miss Newcastle for sure. Actually it won't be a full sayonara as I'm coming back for my convocation ceremony in July. I was just checking out some of the places I could go in Europe before my full departure from this place.

Perhaps Venice? Heard it's so romantic and beautiful. I'm a sucker for romantica. hehehe and of course Marine's place in the alps. Since it's all pretty close and linked together, maybe I should go ahead with it. =) I was checking some rosetta stone language softwares that I can buy to brush up on my language skills. ;). Or I should just join the classes offered by city college in sf? Those softwares aren't cheap at all. It can cost up to USD200. Hmmm..

At the mean time, I'm listening to some italian songs. So soothing.....my knowledge of Italy stems from my uncle who was once married to an Italian lady (they have divorced) and my uncle been living in Italy for over 20 years. Maybe I should pay him a visit? I am definitely curious to find out how my cousin brother looks like. hehehe

Another thing which drives me to Italy is their pizza!!!! The best pizza I ever had so far was from Gordon Biersch which uses the brick "oven" to bake it to perfection. I think that can be considered as "original"?? Not so sure. Definitely have to see it with my own eyes. You know, I really hate pizzas that have been altered, in the sense that pizzas that are of "fusion" category. I know Gordon Biersch serves Thai chicken pizza and to me, it's much better to just stick to the original of cheese, prosciutto or sausage and good old sauce. Man, love it! A thin layer adds to the orgasmic experience!

I really should start saving up for my trip. ;) There are too many places to visit in Europe alone and most of the time, the cities are so beautiful. Living in US, we do not have too much choices except for some buildings, mountains and maybe casinos. =( Gary and I plan to make a roadtrip around US someday, SOMEDAY.
