So I only had one day in Rome, one morning really. And so right from the start I decided that I would get up very early and go have a look for at least the colosseum. So this is sometime after 6am and before the sun got up. Was strange walking around at this time of the morning, there was hardly anyone about. But there was one guy who, after saying hello, asked, "de donde eres?" And the cool thing was, I knew what he meant! But I pretended that I didn't - you don't talk to strange men when it's dark in a strange city.
