I arrived in Rome 2 weeks ago for a semester-long stay. Ahead of me are classes involving Italian language, history, food and culture, media, and cooking. I am excited to get more in depth academically while I am here and maybe I will someday get mistaken for a native Roman.
This past weekend was fun as I spent it all in the neighborhood. I visited a fresh market and saw horse meat and sting rays! Maybe I will be brave enough to try something completely new...but with my cooking skills, I will likely get salmonella or some kind of hoof and mouth disease.
On Sunday, we went to the AS Roma soccer game. The fans spent more time heckling the Siena fans than they did watching the game, but I spent more time watching the Italians than I did the game, too. I wish I was as passionate about a sports team as these guys are, but I don't think there are enough expletives in the English language to compare with the insults they were throwing out.
On to another week in Rome and then to Prague for the weekend. Have a good one!
