Italy

I originally choose Italy because from my childhood and mainly wanted to choose it based on how much my brother really liked it. When we played the game I mentioned in the mentor blog he would always choose Italy one of the best nations to pick from. On that game Italy always had his landmarks on it and it kinda interested me to know what they were, so I did and it was really cool. Even for being a twelve year old teenager. That game introduced my fascination in history, but my brother introduced me to getting interested in Italy.

Italy has been on of my top five places to go in the world because of all the ancient building and all that history things. The ancient building that I was the most interested in was the Colosseum. How and why it was there and also what did the warrior fight in there. I guess it was just the mystery about it that intrigued me. What also interested me was when I was sitting in world history in eighth grade and we learned about Pompeii. Pompeii was a ancient city in Italy that was destroyed in 79 AD by an eruption from the nearby volcano called Mount Vesuvius. Our teacher showed us pictures of the preserved ruins and also the bodies that lay there from that day. I could have gone to Greece and Italy in ninth or tenth grade I don’t remember, but my mother wouldn’t allow that to happen because of all the terrorism happening in the middle east. She was afraid that I would happen there and some of the most famous sites in the world, so I didn’t go. I hope to have a chance to make that trip in the future when I’m done with college.

The first ancient site on what to visit would either be Pompeii or either the Colosseum because they are both really old sights. The reason why I would like to visit Pompeii would be that it’s really old and it would feel like you were there with all those old artifacts there. The bodies would be cool to see, but a little weird. It would also be a once in a lifetime visit. Walking on a road or in a building that was once inhabited by ancient Romans and also see what they lived like. I would visit the Colosseum because of the historic significance and what could have happened there. I could really like to be able to walk though there and just see what it looked like. It would also be a once in a lifetime moment to see the Colosseum and to get some pictures by it, so I could remember going there when I forget. It would be cool just to say that I was there same with Pompeii. Saying that I visited two of the oldest sight on earth. That is my reasons why I want to go to these places in Italy and why I choose Italy also. I hope you enjoyed.
