A heart of handcraft men - Florence, Jinkyol Kim

 I have been traveled Rome and Florence last week with my peers. It was a superb experience in my entire life. Personally, I love travels and travels bring many things to me. There are always new people, new culture, new experience and new food. The word 'Travel' always makes my heart flutter. From now on, I would like to share my part of experience in Florence with you.

 Florence (Firenze) is located at middle of Italia and it is 233 km far away from Rome. From old time, this city was an important traffic hub. In addition, many Renaissance architectures and arts were born at Florence. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that Florence is the birth city of Renaissance.

 On the other aspect, typical luxury Italian brands, such as Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo also were born at Florence. There were many handcraft men on various aspects at Florence from the old time. Thus, many high quality products were made through those handcraft men. The Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo museums are located at Florence. Our team visited both museums and it was really amazing experience. Personally, I am a big pen of those two Italian brands. There were so many interesting points. For example, brands' history, the meaning of brand logo and symbol and products designs background. 

 Food is an important category to many tourists. Every food I met in Italy, those were just great. Now, I figured out why Italian food was spread world widely. From my point of view, most restaurants in Italy, they have reasonable price and more tasty food when I compare with British restaurants. But both countries are still expensive when I compare with my country's price :(

 Many famous brands stores are located at city of Florence. Shopping is also very important part to many tourists. To me, definitely important! Personally, I love Italian brands such as Dsquared, Golden Goose Deluxe Brand, Dolce and Gabbana and many more. I usually bought those Italian brands' goods via online stores. Before I left a trip, I planed to purchase some Italian brands' clothes and accessories. Also, I expected cheaper price than online stores. But, funnily, price was not cheaper than what I thought. Most online stores have cheaper price than Italian offline stores. The price was even expensive than my country's offline store. It was a quite interesting point to me. The Luisa via Roma offline store was greatly impressed. 

 To sum up, the Florence has so many attractive factors on various aspects. Also, it was really good time for getting closer with my peers. This trip has become a great opportunity for step forward to my dream. If you planning to go to Italy, I highly recommend you the city of Florence. It would be the best travel.

Thank you to Amanda, Luca, Matthew and my peers.
