vacanza

Sophomore year is finally over. Now I'll probably have a lot more time to learn some Italian. I went through a few of the sections in the Ultimate Italian book and it doesn't seem to be hard. The only problem is that it's kind of easy to mix it up with Spanish...
But I just love how the book has some Note Culturali hehe. One of them is about greetings, and how they are more involved in Italy than in the US, and it explains that it is quite common for people to kiss each other on both cheeks as they meet. I couldn't help picturing Don Corleone (although I think he had Fabio Carrera's face instead) kissing everyone in his mafia family :D

I just love stereotypes hh. That's why I changed my profile picture to something more suitable. A few years ago, there was a very famous soap opera in Brasil called Terra Nostra, which told about the lives of Italian immigrants that came to Brasil looking for lands to grow coffee, and they all wore berets like the one I got. So I'm definitely more prepared to go to Venice and blend in.
Now I just need a Giuliana as pretty as Mateo's (from the picture) and I'm all set.
