In the beginning of the semester I decided that I wanted to travel Italy. That was one of the reasons that I wanted to study in Italy. I am very very very glad that I decided to see as much of Italy as I could because I have seen amazing places. I have experience so many different cultures, art, architecture, food, wine, beer, people, and traveling just inside Italy. This weekend we went to Rimini (which is on the east coast of Italy) and San Marino (which is it's own state in Italy). We had a great time. The best part of Rimini was the sandy, gorgeous open beach with the beautiful blue Adriatic Sea as far as we could see. We arrived in Rimini on Friday afternoon. We checked into our Hostel, which was ... read more

For the puente (our 5 day break right before finals) I went to Italy to visit the Caruso's and had the time of my life. This is by far my favorite trip I've taken in Europe. Laura picked me up from the airport Wednesday morning and we went back to the house to wait for Alessandra and Michelle to get home from school. When they got home we ate delicious food for lunch. Then Ale and I did some homework and played board games until dinner. After dinner Ale and I did some crafts and then went to sleep. I feel so at home here with the Caruso's. Thursday morning Paul, Laura, and I went into downtown Bologna and I loved it. We walked around all of the small streets and went into a beautiful old ... read more

Ormai non ci speravo più. Si, è proprio come avete capito. Fra pochi giorni (scanditi dal countdown timer) partirò per il mio secondo viaggio nel Sud-Est Asiatico. Accompagnato dalla mia insostituibile travelmate (e non solo...) il 30 Novembre alle 14:29 partirò dalla stazione ferroviaria di Ferrara alla volta dell'aeroporto Marco Polo di Venezia dove mi imbarcherò per Vienna e successivamente per Bangkok, aeroporto Don Muang! Previsti per i primi giorni una visita ad Angkor Wat, il più grande e suggestivo complesso di templi buddisti del SE Asiatico...wow. Sono decisamente pronto ad armarmi di Pentax ME super e Kiev 60 per immortalare tutto ciò che mi permetterà di far sentire l'emozione che sicuramente proverò davanti a questi meravigliosi paesaggi a tutte le persone che rimarranno a casa...e in parte per farmele rivivere al mio ritorno! Aggiornamenti nei ... read more

We woke up and had ham and cheese rolls for breakfast, boy did we eat a lot of ham and cheese rolls, in fact we had them for breakfast, lunch and tea that day. We caught a bus into town, and walked around the town, before finally finding a spot of grass for lunch. It is amazing in those cities how you can go miles and miles without seeing anything remotely green. It was with hesitation that I agreed to walk up the Asinelli tower, which is just under 100 metres high, especially because the Garisenda tower next to it is on a massive lean, it was built in 1109, and I am crap with heights. Anyway we did it, my feet were sweating as we got higher and I had to take my jandals off. ... read more
