For the past two weeks, I have been living out of my
suitcase. We finally moved in to a more
permanent place, Santa Chiara. This is
Texas A&M University property for study abroad students. The rooms are like dorm rooms that were
created from an old monastery. It felt
so wonderful to finally take all my clothes out of my suitcase and put them
into drawers and onto hangers. I feel
like this is my new temporary home.
I feel like a celebrity in Italy! When I went to the Trevi Fountain, these guys
from Turkey wanted to take a picture with us because we were Americans. During lunch after teaching, high school boys
came up to us and introduced themselves.
They did not speak very good English, but it was wonderful that they
were trying. Their English teacher at
their high school passed by, and they asked him to translate. We had a nice conversation with the
teacher. He told us about some hotspots
that we should go to while in Italy. He
told us about his experience teaching English at a high school. He also encouraged the boys to try to speak
English to us because it is great practice.
The boys and the professor had a little conversation. The teacher said that he is embarrassed to
ask this, but the boys wanted a picture with us. We agreed.
Then the boys asked what Facebook was in English! We were like Facebook! Then they asked if they could be our friends
on Facebook. We lied and said we did not
have one.
That night we had our first night out in Italy. It was so much fun!! There is a bar that has American night on
Thursday nights. Our entire group went
and we had a BLAST! The Italians enjoyed
us as well. Either that or they were
making fun of us the whole time! They
listen to old hip hop music. We made it
better it up and played new hip hop music.
They have never heard of the wobble and when we did it, we were getting
some funny looks. I would tell you more
about that night, but what happens in Italy, stays in Italy!
Ciao!
