Yuki, Glad to hear you had great time visiting Italy. I was in Rome with my family 2 years or so ago visiting my wife's sister who is living nearby. Italy is indeed popular destination among Poles. Japanese tourists are also seen in every corner of the world :-) They are easily distinguished from the crowd thanks to enormous amount of expensive electronic equipment they carry :-) Yes I was in Sistine chapel and saw all those people taking pictures, and I wondered why shoot with tiny compact cameras, when you can actually buy superior pro-level photographs just round the corner :-) Yes I know D3 is high-end :-)
