So I guess I’m in Italy. I got here all by my lonesome at around 5:30 this morning, and waited in the Milan airport until my friend Mamie got there around 11:00. Luckily, she was on the same flight as our teachers and we were able to get tickets to Vicenza way easier because of it.
I got murdered by the exchange rate plus the convenience fee of changing my cash at the airport because the dollar sucks penis right now. I changed $120 into E65. Kill me. Anyway, I used some of it to buy a bus ticket, train ticket, and (of course) a Coke at the airport. I watched alot of Anthony Bourdain and Samantha Brown Travel Channel specials that I downloaded to my iPod while I waited, so I was already pretty excited by the time I left the airport.
I’m staying tonight in a hotel called Due Mori in Vicenza. It’s really old-school and down a little side street from the downtown area. It was surprisingly busy, but very cool and just ancient-feeling. Me and a few of the other people in our group went and ate at a pizzeria ristorante (meaning it wasn’t a traittoria, which would be the equivalent of a subway or something. Ristorante means that it is somewhere between a Chili’s or an Outback). I had some fire-ass pizza there called the Pizza Sorrentina that had all these crazy cheeses on it with tomatoes and margherrita sauce tomatoes.
So tomorrow we’re going to go check out the studio, and hopefully I’ll be able to keep the updates steady on this blog, so check back often and whenever you’re bored!
Till then, keep chillin.
ITALY!!!
