They are so warm and friendly.<br />And yes, I have heard about Como and Venice or even Florence being over run by tourists...but December isn't peak period so hopefully they will be fewer in number.<br /><br />anonymouse: Save, save!

For the last two months, I've just been so bogged down by work that I have had zero physical activity - hence the pounds have piled up. <br /><br />I think calorie restriction with moderate exercise is the way to go, I'm doomed by crappy metabolism as well. <br /><br />Please don't be alarmed by the behaviour of the embassy staff, they are nothing like what most people I met in Italy were - generous, helpful, kind and amazingly friendly. <br /><br />Apart for my obviously biased preference for Greece :), Italy was my favourite country in all of Europe. Although sadly, in Venice and Como you'd probably run into more tourists than Italians.thalassa_mikrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942716364297839680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25135975.post-89441636894944978712006-11-29T15:13:00.000+08:002006-11-29T15:13:00.000+08:00Miss**: No ice cream forever??

But as of now looks like everything should work out :D<br />Are you still in Bombay?<br /><br />Salil: That’s unfair….obviously home doesn’t compare. And I would love to visit Brazil! Given I have the money which looks like a serious impossibility after this December trip =( We are not all working professionals you know!<br /><i>When in Rome…… do the Romans..**</i> *cringe* <br />I have been warned (even by Italians!!) to stay away from over friendly males in Rome… dangerous breed they are apparently, but I wouldn’t like to jump to conclusions and all =P<br /><br />Punkster: I realized counting every calorie and being paranoid doesn’t work because it only sets you up to crash really badly! I love fruits and veggies as well, but I <i>do</i> have a taste for all unhealthy sweets and chaats and all….sigh!!<br />And, yep working out really does help….it isn’t even abou the weight after a while but you <i>feel</i> healthier and better. So I do try and keep that going…and if I miss the gym I usually go on a 60 – 75 minute walk/jog.Szerelemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911190230851186924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25135975.post-33514624090579420172006-11-28T10:23:00.000+08:002006-11-28T10:23:00.000+08:00Hold your head up grasshopper!

I know for a fact that counting every calorie before putting the food in my mouth does not work because I've tried it and it only left me extremely miserable and disheartened. I gave up on it and started eating what I wanted to eat (I must say that Ive never craved junk food, sweets, chocolate or sugar...I dont have a taste for them...so my taste palette comes in handy, actually) but I worked out 5 times a week and it really helped. <br /><br />So everything in <i>moderation</i> and not worrying about food habits along with tons of working out and you should be good to g.o.<br /><br />:)twiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03569187079604473588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25135975.post-62877492177389022622006-11-27T22:04:00.000+08:002006-11-27T22:04:00.000+08:00Traveler’s Tip:: A wise man once said, When in Ro...Traveler’s Tip:: A wise man once said, When in Rome,,,,,,,,,,, do the Romans..**Salilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12467174168464623009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25135975.post-66618868867707203152006-11-27T22:02:00.000+08:002006-11-27T22:02:00.000+08:00I have submitted to the request.. you should overl...I have submitted to the request.. you should overlook these small inconsistencies on my behalf,,, for old times sake... :P thanks for goading me into updating.. enjoy..<br /><br />I am off from the 8thDec to some first week of Jan.. its aristrocratic treatment@HOME..
