Bravo Italy – [ROME to SPORE] - Depress

Didn't want to waste the morning, hence decided to roam around ROME for one last time. For some reason, I was feeling depressed. The idea of my holiday ending finally started to sink in ...

Cabfare to Termini Station this round cost €30.50 due to the jam in the morning. Tried buying our train tickets to the airport, but couldn't find any counters that does the job. Only saw an automated machine which didn't offer any train schedule.

There's a man beside the machine that kept pestering us to buy the tickets from him, showing us that his tickets r actually the same as that of the machine. That made us even more suspicious of his tickets' source. Y would we want to buy from him if they are the same?

Anyway, saw a Leonardo Express booth (€12 per person). Decided to get our tickets from them. The person told us that we can still take the trains from another timing if we miss ours. Seems like the schedule didn't matter afterall.

After depositing our barangs at the luggage-deposit area (€4 per luggage), we took the "mrt" down to the flea market at S. Giovanni(€1).

To my surprise (and disappointment), the flea market consisted of "international" stuff rather than local. Sellers there are mostly from Nepal, and some sellers were selling things that's MIC >.<

Saw a windbreaker I liked, but didn't had my size. Was shocked that it cost €40!! Was that really a flea market I was shopping in?!

Before we know it, it's time to proceed to the airport. Oh, Y do we need to go? :(
