Well, I am sorry that I didn’t get time until now to put the photos up. I still do not have internet in my apartment, but I loaded them on my usb and have brought them to the internet train (shop) close to my apartment. I realized that in my last post I did not say anything about my apartment. I absolutely love it. It is in a great location close to the center of town and I think in the same building where I live there are maybe 30 other shops. I have my own pizza shop, gelato shop, resturants, pubs, clothing stores, doctors office and gucci! and many more! Its amazing that this building has so many things in it besides apartments. Anyways, so my apartment is on the 2nd floor here, which is the 3rd floor in America. I have a small elevator that is probably 50 years old. But at least I have one. Or I can use the stairs. Oh and there is also a hotel the floor above me. So if a lot of people come and stay you can stay in the same building! Haha. So once I get to my floor there is a big wooden door that I have to open with a different key, then I go inside a small foyer and there is another set of doors, but I use a code on this one. Then once inside, I walk down a long hall to the end where my apartment is and I have 2 small wooden doors that I use another key to open! So many keys. But at least I know that I am safe. I absolutely love my apartment. It has 1 room with the couch/bed, and there is a closet which fits all my clothes… a miracle… and then there is a cabinet for all of my things. There is also a table that can be made into a desk or a big table for eating… you kno all those lavish dinner parties I will be throwing! (with the water that doesn’t boil! Haha). Ok, so then there are 2 separate rooms. The bathroom is so nice, it is all tile and the shower is so clean and warm! You may be thinking… why wouldn’t it be warm… it’s a shower with hot water! Well, in Italy, they tend to not like to put doors on showers or curtains. Last time my shower had only half a door! So I am very very thankful that this shower can keep me warm while I am standing under trickling water! Haha. And the bathroom is twice the size of my bathroom in dallas. Also, it is twice the size of my kitchen… talk about a mix up! That brings me to my kitchen. It is nice, I have all the kitchen supplies I need as well as a microwave and refrigerator. Its great. So I am posting a few pictures that I took of my apartment… with all of my things in it!
So Friday after I posted on my blog, I met up with michela again so she could take me to the grocery store or coop. She walked through all of it with me and explained some things to me. Like all about the different brands and different types of cheeses there are. Man there are so many! Then after I met up with her for a dinner party. We went by scooter again, and we met up with some of her friends (10 girls). It was so much fun. I was definetly the quietest person in the room. But is was fun and great to finally have something to eat for dinner! Haha. They were all so nice. Two of the girls had just come back from NYC. And I got to see all of their pictures. It was so funny, seeing and hearing them talk about things in america… like I speak about things in italy. For instance, they all saw a picture of times square. And they were like ahhhh che bella, how beautiful, many lights! Haha, I tried not to laugh. They also took pictures of very odd things. There were pictures of random signs that didn’t mean anything or like a police car… hahah! But god knows that americans do the same thing when they go to other countries! Haha.
So then we went out to a disco, where one of the girls works. We didn’t even eat dinner that night till 10:30 and we went out at 1:30. The bar doesn’t even get full till 2:30ish and it closes at 5. Haha. All I know is that it was a very italian club, because I smelt like I had been sitting in a box full of cigarette smoke for 10 years and I felt like I had eaten more smoke than food since I have been in italy!
That is definetly one thing that you have to get used to!
Anyways, right now I have so much to say and so much time. But starting next week, I know school will keep me busy.
Oh and today I met a girl that is in school with me. She is from Austria! And she is so so nice. We sat and ate lunch for like 2 hours today and talked. She lives really close to me and I think that we will be great friends. Her mom works for the UN in austria, but she is british. Kirstin speaks really good english so that is nice for me! We are meeting on Monday to go to school together.
Ok… arrividerci!
Ciao sarah
