Back Again!

My apologies for taking time to update it!

Welcome back

Unlike India, here while counting money, instead of “.” we use “,”. Once I went to buy a packet of candies and the price was tagged as 2,90 euros(2 euros and 90 cents) and I thought it was 290 euros and it gave me a heart attack when I converted it in rupees which happens to be 17,690 rupees. I was like what the f**k! Then I figured it out. This was the first cultural shock to me so far!

Candies reminded me of one thing. My host father thinks that I am underweight and he keeps insisting me to eat more. Probably I am eating two times more than what I used to India so obviously I have put on 2 kilograms by now. J But my host dad wants me to be of 100 kilograms when I am back in India!

My school is going on all well. My first day was pretty good than I expected. But I still have to work a lot at my Italian so that I can interact more with my friends. For the first time ever in my life I loved the English class. Classrooms here are just awesome. We have a touchpad projector, our class laptop with internet and of course the blackboard. So in one of our English class we saw one part of ‘3 idiots’ a bollywood movie and a video of traditional dance too. Here Aishwarya Rai (bollywoood actress) is very famous. Most of the Italians like her a lot.

On Lorenzo's birthday (my classmate), he distributed some sweets. It’s a cake made from rice and chocolate, very delicious indeed! This sweet reminded me of one of Indian sweet (મમરા ની ચીકી).

I was called to the principle’s office and I met a journalist. She wanted a picture of mine and a small interview. This was unexpected. But somehow I made up my mind. She asked me so many questions in less then 5 minutes. But one thing which made me satisfied was the journalist told me I have a very pleasant personality. J

Thanks to Andrea, its because of his efforts that I had my article in the newspaper.

                                                                                       

Every Tuesdays we have a meeting of ‘Progetto Giovani’ and it’s lot of fun there. We play, eat and have fun.



This is an interesting game. You have a ball and four players (two in one team) holding the rods. And we have to prevent the ball going into the hole by managing the rods which have plastic man stuck on them.



Having parties every Saturdays!

My host family! J

My host brother, Girogio went to London for 3 months to learn English instead of going to Trieste for his university! I will miss him..



 

Having a wonderful time with my cat (Michele) and dog (Asterix)!

Meet the new Italian girl.. haha
Window shopping with my host sister, Camilla and Giorgia (our friend) and they tried changing me into an Italian girl! J

I am getting much better at my Italian now so it's helping me to make more firends and to talk with more people. I am working hard to get fluent at it.

I think I will wind up now. Hope you enjoyed reading it. See you next time with some more interesting things. Till then good-bye, take care and thank you.

Mandi!
