Thank you, Caesar

Well, I'm back for a very short post.
I've been very busy recently with practicas and trabajos and most interestingly with my trip to Asturias (much more on that later) but I've noticed something that deserves a post. It's been a little bit than a month here and my Spanish has incredibly improved even though I never spoke it and never learned it, so you gotta do what you gotta do, that is, in my case, to thank Caesar as it all depends on him. By that, I mean, of course, Spanish comes from Latin same as Italian. However, it doesn't stop at this. Thanks to Ancient Rome heritage, I can understand some French, Portuguese and Romanian, too. Also, it is very interesting to note that about 40% of English lexicon comes from Latin, too, that means I can very easily improve my English knowledge.

As a bonus, even though they're not related to Spain, here they are a couple of fun facts to show the reach of Roman Empire and thus paying the right tribute to Caesar.

• They've been finding lots of Roman stuff even in Armenia
• I've noticed that almost every European country shares the Italian saying "tutte le strade portano a Roma", (all roads lead to Rome)
• some historians like to provoke and they say that Roman Empire actually ended only in 1991 when USSR dissolved. In 476 AD, Western Roman Empire finally collapsed and its heritage was gathered by Eastern Roman Empire and its capital Constantinople became the second Rome. In 1453, the Ottomans conquered the city and even that empire disappeared. However, in turn, its heritage was gathered by Moscow which became the third Rome. In 1917 Russian Revolution overthrew the Tsar and established the Soviet Union (which, even though some Commies wouldn't admit it, was a just continuation of the same imperialism). Then, there was Solidarność, the fall of the Berlin wall and even USSR disappeared, thus finally ending the Roman Empire. That's obviously a provocation and there was big shift to east from Rome to Moscow, but I think it's interesting.
• Finally, Kaiser come from Caesar and surprisingly even among the titles of Ottoman sultan there was qaysar-ı Rum.

PS Since I want to see Spain but I can't see it all because of money and time, the whole Roman Empire thing also will help me to decide what not to visit; that is cities pretty much known for Roman Empire stuff, as Merida, are already off the list, since I'm plenty of that back home.
