Well right now I am in Rome and I have to say that this is a pretty cool city. I actually prefer it to Lisbon. Rome is a city that is highly entertaining in the fact that it's a city filled with ruins. And boy are they massive! They ancient buildings are magnificient not only in their structure and in their detail but also their incomparable size. I can hardly imagine how long it took to make the sculptures and to erect all the buildings. I now understand how Rome was a super power. They knew exactly what they were doing. They must have been excellent architects.
One thing about Europe is that the people here made things to last a lifetime. They made their mark by a legacy in which they created unephemeral products to mark their place in history. This is one thing that I really appreciate. In North America its cheap'n'quick. I can notice that people in Europe took time and effort to make things beautiful. And because of this, the city is bathing in architectal and art history.
