Amongst many other things I live doing,one of them has got to be travelling.Also something I'd like to do more of too.Believe it or not back in 4th grade I already had a list of places to go before I die.Unlike other kids my age back then I was a lot mature than them I guess.Instead of cartoons, I'd be waking up early in the morning to catch those travelling shows.I watched a lot with Ian Wright and Samantha Brown in them.I'd be setting my alarm early at 7 a.m just to catch them both.I'd rush out of bed with my then black leather diary(I'd be carrying it around a lot then).As I watch them I'd be taking note of the places that either Ian or Samantha went to.Even though this sounds wierd, I'd like to think that I was a little different than the other girls my age.I kind of took pride in that now and am thankful I did not followed the crowd:)Then I got into high school, my travelling "perspective" changed completely! I got hit by the football virus!This all started during the 2006 Fifa World Cup. I don't know how or when but I suddenly had two biases for the game- Italy and Czech Republic(though later Italy knocked Czech Republic out).Even after the games ended then my friends and I would still go on and on "defending" our favourite teams for no reason, acting like obsessed, crazy, die hard fans.Then we developed this unlimited, ultimate love for our favourite teams' countries. I'd finally find out that I had more love towards the Azzuris(this' what the Italian team is called)than the Czechs(it's kind if like a rule for football fans to practice "monogamy" with ONLY one team and ONE team only!Well we,my friends and I even made a pack to learn the respective languages of the countries each of us supported.One started learning German, the other whom is head over heels for the Brazillian team, opt for Portugese and I took up Italian,of course.That was when we were all about 15.But to tell you the truth ,my Italian is still somewhat rusty, not very proud about it.Am still learning though, even thought they're mostly short phrases- something you'd normally hear tourists be saying haha.But still I'm not going to give up on my Italian ,though ,right now I'm also trying to learn Arabic.I've always wanted to be a multi linguist:)My love for footbal,hence my love for Italy carried on ..till I was 19.Till then, Italy was on top of the list of the places I wanted and needed to visit.I fantasized of being all stalker-like, all over the Italian players' homes-nothing more!I did not need to see the canolas,pisa or milan,all I needed was that-talk about a scary fantasy.And then during my pre-college years I had Korean pop worshippers as room mates.I actually vowed to never be influenced by them, for what I thought,then, as liking a bunch of singers with good,cute looks on, together with some catchy dance moves and songs was just not my forte.But then one day I got all crazy over all these Korean pop song!Which never in a million years I thought I would ever. But somehow they do rub on you in a way or the other.And just like that I got caught.But seriously I have no regrets.I especially loved their variety shows that showed me some unique lifestyle which also had me adopting some myself.Like right now I'm learning hoto cook their food too.And I'm getting better with the chopsticks which I use almost everytime I eat.So that's South Korea had knocked off Italy out of my list-sorry Maldini.
