29.03.08 - Day 4 (Florence + Pisa)

I think I’m so lucky. The museums in Florence are like free entry cos of semana santa! So I managed to save a few bucks just to see “David” the model and those angels in Galleria dell Accedemia.. Went to the Galleria dell Accedemia early in the morning to avoid waiting 1 hours plus plus just to get it~

Saw the muscular and artistic and handsome DAVID, which is like the only thing in the museum which was super fascinating to me~ Then I walked to the sculpture section and realized that the word “Narcissist” actually came from a guy named Narcissis (I think I got that correct) who once looked at himself in the reflection of water and thinks that he is freaking handsome.. and then he committed suicide cos he couldn’t get hold of himself (like can’t grab the reflection). Wonder if this story is real.. if it is, he is really damn retarded and really damn NARCISSIST.

Took the train to Pisa and realized that my CAMPING SITE (this time not hostel~) for Pisa, instead of it being in the forest, it’s like in the suburb, or like the industrial area which is outside the centre of Pisa. A.k.a ULU place. Had to cross this dark tunnel to get to that freaking campsite. But it’s still kinda near to the attractions~

Headed to the 3 main attractions (which happened to be all together). Didn’t bother to pay the expensive entrance just to walk through some art or paintings which I can’t exactly appreciate fully…

Btw the walk up to the top of Leaning Tower is like 15 euros. I think if they’re not insane, they are totally money-eyed. Like $_$. WTH!!! With the same amount of money, you can get people to piggy back you on emperor’s chair for at least half an hours up the Great Wall of China man!!!

And still not having internet for such a long time is really damn irritating. Totally. ARGH.
