I forgot to add that I and my hippo we were also Castroni , a huge store that sells food from all over the world! * Ç * Inside, there is really any good or delicacy, but among all this heavenly food which is mouth-watering just looking at him, I went to buy something?
Two pre-cooked noodles, the first made in Malaysia, the other in Singapore! -.-
Yes, I know, but it was stronger than me! XD By the way do not even know how to prepare because the instructions are written in a language incomprehensible to me! XD Who knows what will come out? XD But I'm sure you're wondering why I devoted a post to a crap like that. The answer is simple: if I die you will know what was the cause! X ° D
I'll be back after a long absence with an account of the trip to Rome, made the first weekend of February with my hippo. 
The show was great, but at the same time disappointing because of the most famous and interesting, there were very few. The sense, I think, would be to show the huge difference between the style he had during the period when approached for the first time to painting and when it began to have serious problems of depression, or that style with which we all know. Rather than do something fair, however, was deeper into the first period, while the last there were so few works that I felt as if the show was incomplete. When I found myself in the end, in fact, there was really bad because I did not expect! 
From big fans of tea drinkers we visited Babington's, a historic tea room which is located in Piazza di Spagna by 1893, the year in which two young ladies opened with the British 'intention of creating a meeting place for the Anglo community, even when the tea could be purchased only in pharmacies. (The rest of the story you can read it here 
The prices are really exaggerated the room: 7.50 € for a simple cappuccino, let alone a cup of tea! Those are easily accessible in the shop instead. I took the tea Sweet Dreams with chamomile, lime and orange flowers, tea Orange & Grapefruit and a tin can to conserve it to a total of € 15. The beautiful packaging you see in the picture I made them on time! It works like this: let you choose your tea (of course we're not talking about the bags in, but that in leaves, so you can check the quality), if in doubt give you advice based on your tastes, I do smell and then you prepare one of these packages, with the name written on it and also how best to prepare! * __ * Even more beautiful are the gift boxes, so even if you're taking something for themselves should have it wrap! XD I took the same jar in the picture for the mother hippo and the box looked like a stylish handbag! Really wonderful! *___* So, if you love tea (or cats! XD) and happen to be in Rome, a trip from Babington is a must! 
We were also the famous flea market Portaportese , which takes place every Sunday from 6:00 to 14:00 in the same name. It was a long time I wanted to go there and finally I made it! * __ * We have preferred to skip the whole part which is also typical in any market, or one dedicated to clothing and stuff for your home, make visits to the most particular that is getting off at the bus stop H - something (can not remember the number XD) in Via Ippolito Nievo . In this section you can find books, comic books, vintage items and a lot of stuff for collectors, but also items for those who love the do-it-yourself and electronics and information technology. I was surprised, if not shocked, how many computer peripherals can be found! There are stalls full of hard drives, motherboards, video cards, etc. .., throw it there and sold as if things were not normal and delicate things that must be handled with some care. From this one might expect low prices, but no! The prices are as high as those in stores, so I see where is the convenience! The shop sells new and with the guarantee, the market that gives you? Mah! Of course I lost most of my time among the stalls of books (as it turned XD), but also among those toys 80s and 90s that made me take a dip in the past and back baby! So many things I wanted to buy but the prices were really prohibitive! Other ç__ç stand that I liked a lot was the one that was selling stationery products Antique: pencils, pens and notebooks all brand new, but the era of our grandparents, and all very serious and without doodles on the covers! : PC'erano even postcards that people sent during the war and only see them, so in passing touched me. Even these, however, they cost a lot! ç__ç However, it is said that the market of Porta Portese is impossible to leave empty-handed and I, not to fail in this legend (XD), I bought the things you see in the following photo: 
Finally, during one of our walks, we ended up by chance in the midst of the celebrations for the Chinese New Year and it was fun because everyone was happy, maybe even drunk (XD), and offer maps and guides of Shanghai to anyone! XD Then on stage during the musical performances were really interesting to explain their culture and their customs! The unpleasant of my hippo had his camera work, but it did not even a picture! è__é I had to make some with the phone that I did not even flash, so the result leaves something 'to be desired! ç__ç
