Ciao from Rome!

I've come to Rome for a week on business. I'm currently working at the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization's (UN FAO) office. This huge office building is located just one block from the famous Circus Maximus, the Palantine Hill, the Colosseum, and all the other ancient Roman ruins. The views out of the office windows and cafeteria doors/terraces are just incredible! These people are so man lucky to be working in such a wonderful setting. I'm clearly jealous of these folks here!

Here is what I think about Rome: Awesome! I just can't explain how wonderful this city is! Every single street, plaza, piazza, monuments are just breath-taking. No matter where you walk, there is something great to look at. I tell you, if one can measure a place's beauty by how photogenic it is, Rome is photogenic almost every single inch of the city area. And I'm not kidding you.

As usual, I'm taking loads of photos and I will post them as soon as I return to the USA. Until then, as the Italians says, "ciao!"


PS: Here's an insider joke on UN FAO.

Me: "Wow! This [FAO] building seems ginormous! How many people work here?"

Them: "About 50% of the people"

Testing mobile blogging!!

Computers are SO yesterday, right?!! Now that I got an iPhone - and
I'm using it for practically everything from giving directions to
strangers to googling the crap out of everything - I've decided to
switch to mobile blogging. This means more (random) posts, more funny
photos, and even more (hopefully) interesting stories!

Enjoy!
