I'm back from Rome and I will try to make it short, even a lot has happened. My first hooligan-fight!
Monday: Arriced at Rome. Not much happened. Went to the Spanish Steps, Pantheo etc. I liked the pantheo. Got teased by an Italian because I drank sprite and not italian beer.
Tuesday: Went to the Colosseum. I have to admit that it's one of the most buatiful buildings i have ever seen. So big. So much history. I really loved it. Went to the Forum Romanum afterwards. The ruins of all the temples were just like Colosseum. Big and with lots of history. Afterwards went to do some shopping, hoping to find some nice CDs, but they don't have anything but clothes in Rome. (And lots of fake Gucci... thank god I'm not female). When I was done shopping, I went to Goethe's house. BOORING! Wrote some silly comments in the guestbook. Feel free to go there and read them :P
In the evening I had heard about a place called Sam's Bare - supposed to be really popular. I went there with a taxi and once I got out of it, a friend, that I haven't seen in ages, stood there. Was quite fun to meet him. Sams's Bar was full, so me and my friend (And the other friends i had with me) went to another across the street. It was a big plaza. A football-soccer match was about to be played the next morning, so the plaza were filled with UK-hooligans and Italian hooligans. They UK-hooligans were crazy. They shouted at the Italian fans, taunting them, and kept jumping into a big fountain. Went over there to watch for a moment, was quite fun. I went back to the bar with my friends.

As we were ordering something to drink i catched something out of the side of my eye. It was some kind of firework. Suddenly everybody started shouting and I was knocked over as everybody on the plaza started fleeing. I asked my friends what the hell was going on and if we were supposed to flee as well.
I had no idea what was happening. Suddenly there was a loud boom and even more people started shouting, fleeing and a lot of people around me started crying. When i got back up me and my friends decided to flee like the rest of the people on the plaza. There was another loud boom, soundes like some kind of bomb which made me think of terror. When I got a bit further away i turned around to see what was going on. The UK-hooligans had gone even more crazy and they had started a fight. Some were throwing bar-chairs, stones etc. at the Italian fans. Others stormed the Italian fans, beating them with their bare hands. People kept fleeing and screaming. It was completely insane. I usually only see this on TV. More fireworks were thrown at the Italians who were trying to protect themselves. Me and my friends fled into a bar. Inside, we watched as the police arrived with helmets and shield and started beating up the hooligans o.o
When things were more calm we went outside again. Wounded people everywhere x.x We went back to the hotel and stayed there. Got lots of details about the fight, but I'm lazy.
The next day i went to see the pope as he was telling a story about the relationship between Jesus and the church. I was lucky to actually catch him during a speech. People everywhere.
Not much happened thursday.
Got back today.
It was a nice trip and i've missed you all. So good to be back.
I need to talk to you, Athus.
