Huge Crowd Against Berlusconi

Few days ago I had to visit the Italian capital, Rome and while I was getting to one of the Rome hotels I have booked a room, I came across a angry crowd of thousands of Italians who were marching across the city.

From the posters and noise I understood the protesters were in the streets to show that they do not agree with the policy of the Berlusconi's government. It was in Saturday just few days before a make-or-break vote in Parliament.

Although the government of Berlusconi has suffered from many scandals and has been battered by defections, it still exists. The opposition could not find a leader who can replace Berlusconi on its position as a premier.

Berlusconi's camp has been blamed for 'buying' the support of waffling legislators, but the Italian premier disregarded such suspicion. Bersani, the leader of the main center-left opposition Democratic Party, insisted that it is shame to buy votes.

Berlusconi took a firm stand that his government still commands enough votes in Parliament and he is not afraid of the opposition.

Planning Your Vacation In Rome


If you are wondering where to spend your next vacation, you may consider visiting Rome. The capital of Italy is one of the most beautiful and amazing places on the old continent. There you will enjoy a great combination of history, culture and art.

There are some things that you should consider before going to Rome such as how to get there, how long your trip will be, hotels and sites to see and so on. Properly planning your vacation will make the time you spend there a wonderful experience.

There are two ways to get to Rome. If you prefer to fly to that magnificent city, you can chose between Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) and the Ciampino airports. The main train station provides transportation to and from the Fiumicino airport from 6:30 a.m. till 11:30 p.m. so it will be quite easy to reach every place in Rome. The Ciampino airport is smaller and is usually used for cheaper and budget airlines.

A Week In Arizona


Last summer I wanted to escape from all the stress, noise and problems of the big city I lived in. I needed to do something crazy, something unusual and exciting. Then one day I decided and packed some stuff and left for the United States. But I considered not to visit the most popular tourist beach destinations such as the state of California. I drove on Route 66. It was a great experience I just fell as a part of one of the movies I have watched. The desert is a place where you are alone but at the same time makes you think about so many things that you do not feel the loneliness. It is hard to be explained, you should try.
