Saturday in Siena


The medieval Tuscan hill town of Siena is just an hour by train from Florence. Despite its small size, it is home to a bustling university and is one of Italy’s most visited cities. 

You don’t really need a map in Siena, as most of the streets slant downward, acting as a natural people-funnel to the main Piazza del Campo. 

 The outskirts of the city are equally impressive, as the elevated position of Siena grants you a sprawling view of idyllic vineyards and countryside. 

I only spent a few hours in the city, had lunch at the first place where I couldn’t hear any English, and headed back to Florence feeling completely satisfied.

    HELLO ThERE, i'm leaving this post here to keep my word in recommending this prompt and reliable  hacker, QUADHACKED {AT} GMAIL {dot} COM, also for people seeking legit hackers online, i was ripped twice  before i contacted this ethical hacker.   I always suspected my ex wife was up to something , as soon as i started experiencing financial setbacks my ex wife turned very cold in the house and used to stay out late , left the kids and won't even care, always lying . once i stopped by her job before calling her she said she was there but she wasn't, i knew something was going on .then my colleague at work introduced me to QUADHACKED {AT} GMAIL {dot} COM . This hacker assisted me in spying on my ex's phone without any traces , i was so amazed when i saw all that my wife has been up to. So many deleted messages and unclad media files exchange with the persons she was cheating with, so many emails and deleted whatsapp messages were all downloaded on the mirror device i was spying her from. i could access her call logs, whatsapp messages,facebook messenger, emails and every other social network she's signed on. this helped me a lot though it broke my heart but i'm happy i made that decision. if you need to find out what your spouse has been up to , say no more , send a message to QUADHACKED {at} GMAIL {DOT} COM

Munich: A look beyond the lederhosen

Image
Many stereotypes of German culture stem from the southern city of Munich.  This Bavarian town is home to lederhosen, Oktoberfest, and baked pretzels as big as your beer stein. Much of Munich looks like it was built from gingerbread, and many of its people do in fact wear lederhosen in broad daylight. The new normal. The serene and beautiful Gärtnerplatz   The city is one of the wealthiest in Germany, with a major religious influence that is both reflected in the abundant Catholic imagery and manner of greeting your fellow man. In Munich, “hallo” is replaced with “Gruss Gott”, which translates roughly to “love to god.” The last thing you would expect from Munich is a dark, graffiti-splattered underbelly. And yet, out of desperation and necessity, it exists. Situated in a random residential area is the Waanda Open Air Festival, which lasts a day and costs a mere 15 euros.   Beauty of Waanda The hippies, artists, and bri...

Christmas in Montreal: Bagels, Street Art, and Bars

Image
Despite my limited time in the largest city of the eastern Canadian  province  of Quebec, I can say, with assurance, that Montreal is very cool.  Abundant in the bold and the colorful, Montreal is a city in which even the supermarkets are visually stunning. Behold this  brick of various nut milks which in my world, doubles as a Pop Art installation. If you are feeling peckish, head to the famed St-Viateur Bagel Shop, which has been serving loyal locals slightly sweet, freshly baked bagels for over 25 years.   To avoid clumsily juggling your delicious purchase on the street, you can head next door to a white-walled coffee shop known as The Standard Mile End, and take a seat.   Montreal is great for just walking around and looking at people. A prime location for soaking in the artistic side of the city is the charming Rue Duluth.  Daily life becomes brighter, sweeter, and better when guided forward b...
