Things I learnt last night

Country with the tastiest desserts:
German (which reputedly with the best beer)

Place with vast collection of arts:
Florence, Italy @ Uffizzi Musuem

'Uffizzi' means office.

It is in Italian's old tounge.

Country with invaluable historical artifacts:
Egypt

Young calf meat (slaughtered before it stops weaning):
Veal

The art of wine drinking:
You hold the stem of the wine glass because you don't want your body temperature affecting the wine's.
You swirl the liquid in the glass to get it oxidised.
You smell the wine before you sip to get the scent.
You sip it to savour the taste while the scent still lingers.

Bizarre fact:
Most people, when asked, why they want to visit certain places, could not give reasons. If they do give one, it's vague.

Country with most castles:
France.

In France:
The old castle costs lesser than the apartments.

In Italy:
It costs a BOMB to buy an apartment. Because, there are hidden arts on the ceiling... And people who bought a basement of a building to turn it into home, can be a zillionaire in no time. Because, there are hidden arts on the ceiling...

In Florence:
Everywhere is art. Every corner. Each building.

All in one dinner sitting. Hmm... I couldn't seem to remember anything else. So... will add more, should it come back to me.

I am actually having blogger's block. Couldn't think of anything to write. Should I ask someone to interview me? He he he...
