This isn’t much of an update, but yesterday my Italian class was held in a bar. I just needed to record that fact for posterity. We had a substitute teacher and at the beginning of class she asked what our class normally did. So of course everyone responded with things like “We go out to dinner! We eat sushi. We go to cafés!” (in italiano: “Ceniamo! Mangiamo il sushi! Andiamo al café!”) But surprisingly, she went along with it.
We left the school and decided to go to a bar instead because it was a little early for dinner here (it was 6:45, people eat late in Italy). So everyone ordered drinks. I had ‘un bichierre di vino rosso’ and the teacher got a Bellini, which is a Venetian drink with peach juice and something along the lines of champagne. The two boys in the class split this ridiculous looking tower of Hoegarden. And then she led conversation in Italian about our likes and dislikes of Rome, about the football on TV, and about different dialects of Italian (I guess Neopolitana and Siciliano are practically different languages).
Anyway, it was quite awesome. I love Italy.
