My Top 5 Falls in Europe

I would like to share my top 5 falls in Europe, legendary:

Number 5

In France, I have to take the bus everyday to school and back. One day I was coming back to my place and I was standing because the bus was, as usual, very crowned. The crazy bus driver decided to give a right-fast-closed loop. I was holding hard to the pole but somehow my hand slipped and I literally fell all the way to the floor taking with me other 3 innocent souls... 

Chaos, horror, destruction... 

Number 4 

I was walking all fancy down the street in Juan Les Pins. Music, sunglasses, nice shoes... all stylish (in my mind). Next to a bus stop was this beautiful girl and we looked to each other directly in the eyes. I was into her, she was into me, my mind was already imagining a romantic story and living together for ever and always... BUT NO. 

At that precise moment there was something in the floor and my shoes slipped... multiple times. I was literally fighting to stay still and don't fall while my shoes continued slipping in the most ridiculous way. When I finally managed to stay still I looked at her again, she was laughing so hard... 

Shame, apocalypses, dream crashed... 

Number 3 

When I first arrived Europe in December 2011, I was staying with a friend in an hotel room at Paris for a few days. In fact, it was a nice room but it had a little problem... the shower was SUPER small. The first night I was so happy because I was finally in Europe and staying for such a long time, I took a shower to clean myself after the long long trip. 

I was incredibly happy, dancing and singing in the shower and thinking about all the awesome things that I would do in my stay. But my movie moment suddenly disappeared when I feet slipped, badly, and I had to hold myself to the show curtains. That's all? NO.

The curtains broke and in my attempt to don't fall I ended up legs and arms open "spiderman way" holding to the shower walls... all naked... back to reality... 

Number 2

This one took place in Rome and it's EPIC. The first day I arrived Rome I was so happy because I was with a friend, had an Italian supper, it was snowing for the first time in decades, we were playing with the snow all over Rome and... I was drinking a little bit too. Everything was pointing to the perfect start for the best trip ever. 

But NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

It got late and after a few drinks we decided to go to a nightclub that night. First of all I was reckless, stupid and naive (Roberto? NEVER). Therefore, when we left the club we were walking back home I couldn't even talk, I WAS SO ASHAMED AND FEELING SO STUPID!

With all that background, we were ALMOST home walking this high street and the floor was frozen and with snow. I literally fell like a cartoon, I slipped so hard that from one second to the other I was on the floor with my face facing the sky and my feet kicking the air in the funniest way you could imagine. 

Full of ice... wet... Almost crying... on the floor... I was begging to the earth to eat me at that precise moment, the mother fucker didn't do it. 

Number 1

This one is the winner for a long shot. It happened at the school. We have this common area with orange chairs that have a "table" attached to it. To give you a better context, here is the picture: 

So... The common area was incredibly crowned because it was lunch time and I spotted one of this chairs empty so I rushed to it. I'm still not sure of how I did it... but I had my school bag in my shoulder and as I was trying to sit between the chair and the table I, somehow, managed to loose my equilibrium. 

I fell all the way to the floor but with the chair too! I was trapped between the chair and the table fighting on the floor to get the thing off me and at the same time tangled with my bag. The girl next to me, I still have no idea of WHY, started screaming and of course that at that point I had the whole room looking at me. Random people actually had to help in order to be able to stand again. 

My face haven't been so red of shame IN YEARS. 

Of course I already changed my identity and I'm waiting for the witness protection program to change my face, body and send me to Asia where no one can recognize me.
