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
Surprisingly, Italy turned out to be quite a railway power. Trains run, enough space, fast, cheap
Especially in northern Italy. Traveling is a pleasure
Udine greeted with a bit of chaos
20 minutes on foot, decent Airbnb almost in the center
Found a park nearby. Next to the park ice cream. Italian saleswoman chatted with us in French, her daughter worked in France. Said there's little work in Italy. Gave a whole bunch of ice cream
Library in the ass-end
Center, pleasant, peculiar
Russian speech, by the way, is very common. In France much less. Glad local schoolgirls learn all the important words
Views from the museum, museum very dull
Classic Italian complaint hole
Fake prison ✅
Reminded me of Padua, but different vibe
Center
Most memorable from the trip: turned out in all churches speakers of the same type, and in this one - also special color. Always interesting who can be such a supplier for Catholics (later the speaker was discovered in my university in Prague too, but not such fancy colors)
In the center in Italy, in principle, can eat
But Italian cafes - are 90% cringe
Ate pizza, nothing surprising, quite tasty
Udine worked, but not to that degree where really wow
