A way to a man's heart is through his stomach

It's been couple of days since I landed in Naples and didn't get to blog about my experiences so I gonna just recap of what went on and now here is my first official entry during my trip. I arrived in Naples on tuesday around noon without my luggage and basically wearing what I showed up at the SFO on Monday morning except for a light jacket and spare shirt. Speaking to the lost in found at the airport about my backpack luggage not being transported was not that encouraging since their demeanor seemed nonchalant. It happens all the time which I found out from the hostel I'm staying at but I just tried to focus on enjoying the beginning of my trip and did alot of exploring churches to piazzas to monuments.

But I highly advise anyone who travels to Italy to bring extra pieces of clothing in their carry-on bag just case if your luggage doesn't arrive with you at your destination so you wouldn't have to buy wearing essentials that could be expensive and inconvience. Garbage is a problem everywhere and there is no secret about but all cities are like that it just depends how much.

But aside from that, Naples is a hot spot for fashion in guys and gals you won't see anyone in shorts including girls and women. That's the culture of appearing respectable but having their own style just don't get me started for young guys wearing pants and sweats that are skinny with the Gumby haircut (80s cartoon). I had my Naples pizza from a place called Di Matteos, it was simple but good for a small pan all tomato sauce based pizza with a single strip of mozzarella.

You could go for a whole pizza called Magherita which is the same thing but more mozzarella strips. Trains are overwhelming to take in Naples since there are many different types of trains covering regions and doesn't help if you can't read Italian in the ticket machines or not having a europass so I suggest buses for alternative thaw cheaper if you are not in a huge hurry.

Oh yeah, you need to wear good walking shoes since the roads and sidewalks are not flat, though its fun to explore in these alleyways you'll find interesting shops, food places and attractions. Off to Matera. A più tardi!
