School again today. I am getting so much better understanding Italian and it's great!! Sara's friend Falke from Belgium is staying with us for a couple of days and she is very nice. We went to Bergamo again and had a look around. We went to the too of a bell tower and we could see a panorama view of the city. It was so pretty!!! The bells still work and they ring even half an hour. I didn't want to hear the bells and was scared that they would be extremely loud s...

In the afternoon Michela and I braved the rain and went to the Lissone festival and are roasted chestnuts and had vino brule which is hot wine with cinnamon, both were really good! I had never had a chestnut and they are really nice!

My alarm didn't go off today... So I woke up at 7:20 and have to leave the house at 7:40. Somehow I got ready in 20minutes (eating a decent breakfast as well). But all turned out okay!

It was an old factory town and it was very interesting to see as the owner built the town for all the workers a...

My serving is still shocking though but hey I will get there eventually! The game ...

Today was not my day. Started off with me thinking I was late for the bus o my for the bus too come 10mintues late and didn't stop saying I had to wait for the next bus (which came at 8 and guess what time school starts) so it turns out I was only 20mintues late but it was still a bit embarrassing for me the exchange student turning up late to class. And I wasn't quite sure which classroom I was supposed to be in as we have changed a few times. Luckily I went to ...
