uffaaaaa

Che devo dire?!

The first week here in Bologna was very difficult......to say the least.\

No internet connection-sorry I'm attached to my pc!
No sole....uffa One of the things I didn't realize was that bologna is an incredibly cloudy and rainy town! Luckly it isn't too cold though.
The people here in Bologna are quite different--different than the rest of italy i'd say. There is alot of punk kids and like alternative --not the fashionable men that your used to seeing in Rome.
The difficulty of living with Italian roomates --even though I'm fluent in italy it's still diffcult because italian girls keep to themselves alot more than American girls--at least till they get to know you!

HoWEver!
The food here in bologna is amazing.................... :) and..... well...there are some beautiful historic buildings.

I hope this adjustment period will quickly pass.......... ciao a tutti grazie!!!

Un amore perso......

Yes, I feel like I have lost a love since I haven't been keeping up with my blog! I just spent an hour reading everyone's holiday stories and seeing all the wonderful things going on in all of your lives! It's great when you can find people who share the same interests and can laugh at the same things :). Well I leave Monday for Bologna and my bags are nearly packed to capacity. (mostly composed of the traditional italian garb however--black, black, an occasional brown and oh once again black!)

Allora ci vediamo in Italia !
Baci & Abbracci

Home Food--a Fabulous Idea

Have you guys read about this?

I thought this was an excellent idea for italians and tourists alike who want to know what the true italian at home dinning experience is. With this program tourists or italians can sign up to have a meal at an italian's home. Supposely Samantha Brown did this in Bologna, and there are quite a few in bologna also some in Rome who host this lovely program!
