July 2025
This city was visited as part of an expedition to see various old European prisons
The following cities were visited:
London, Reading, Milan, Padua, Venice, Udine, Sagrado, Gorizia, Nova Gorica, Brno
After the trip ended I learned that in Russian it's correct to say "Padua". Thank God, I'm - a foreigner, and can afford to normally pronounce the name of any city I want.
Padua's station was all under renovation, so I didn't expect anything good
And wrongly - after 10 minutes of walking the city center begins, which looks really good. These arches literally everywhere, protect from both rain and heat
Time to buy gelato right away. Here should mention another Italian feature: they speak Italian here, but since it's - the easiest language on the planet, your knowledge will definitely be enough to order food
Center is all like this, and I wanted to really live there
And Memmo
On the other hand, outside the center - classic Italian fart for cars
Where fountains are designed by engineers and pour water exactly past the holes
So let's go back to the center
Where you can calmly on two legs
Where you can pray (attention - here they like to collect money after service, like in movies)
Center is calm, MILFs on bikes around
Tourists exist
Aperitivo - top for its money. Price like 2 beers in Prague, but they'll throw in pieces of old pizza too
When you got citizenship with a buddy and casually show it everywhere
Once again I assert, Italian cuisine - is something strange, and the hype is incomprehensible. Though in turn homemade Italian food - top
On the other side of the fart a river was found
And native expanses
Conclusion about Padua - can live, but only in the center, like in Brno
And advice to all tourists of the world - postcards can be bought at the post office
