The Lost City of Pompeii

Many years ago when i was a kid i used to watch National Georgraphic and hear about this city. Well I walked through it until my legs were sore, and its a absolute fantastica place (forgive the attempt in italian). Anyways here's some pics to go along.



The lost city of Pompeii. Now not so lost due the millions of tourists invading it everday. 



2000 years ago this city was buried when nearby Mt Vesuvius decided to spit molten lava on it. 2000 years later its again buried by the human stampede up ahead. But anyways those 3 stones you see in the middle of the road is a zebra crossing. People use it to walk across streets (like duh!), and it being elevated means that people dont get their feet dirty crossing the road. Canggih hor?? Also acts as a natural speed bump. Maybe the government should consider building this.

The face of death. Poor guy, died in a horrifying way, and now his corpse is an exhibit for people to see. hehe...snap snap anyways. 



The garden of a rich man who live in pompeii. Man,i want a nice big garden like that with roman columns next time! 



Just about the only guys living in Pompeii nowadays. 



Nicely preserved frescos on the wall of a house in Pompeii.  



This is a Pompeiian version of a fast food take out. Thats the stove you are looking at. We were debating the possibility of that being wash basins but acheological experts believe otherwise. Oh well... 



Impressive isnt it? Apparently the place has very good acoustics, and if you stand at the bottom and speak normally people all the way up at the back will be able to hear you clearly. I was so busy taking pictures i forgot to do that. Dang! 

After a long day's walking,



Sorry guys...i just HAD to do this...muahahaha 

Pompeii Rocks!
