Day Nine


Friday Jan. 15 2010

Italian class today was very fun. Nicoletta talked to us about Italian tradition, sports, and gave us good advice about Italian customs and culture. We learned the alphabet, types of food, and phrases to say when in a classroom. At the second part of class we went to San Lorenzo marketplace. This was my first time going to San Lorenzo. It was really unique- many leather products, purses, belts, jerseys, scarves, and hats were all on sale. Besides the many vendors outside there was an enormous indoor market. And no this was not a “Giant Eagle” warehouse store we are used to in the states. This one was more dense- and the range of food was unbelievable. Big slabs of meat were hung from the ceilings, wine was sold on every corner, bread, pasta, and fresh produce could be found everywhere. Italians eat more meat than we do- lamb, rabbit, even cow wieners!

Tonight we went back to the Glamour again. We met a group of American students from Michigan studying here for the semester. We saw a lot more people from kent tonight. It was more crowded than last night. As far as the night was concerned, it didn’t end up how I anticipated, but it will be okay im sure.
