So here were are, finally in Sesto! We had our first night out tonight. After our first dinner. There's about 50 people in the program. We all sat down and had a fantastic dinner together. THEN, it was a birthday night tonight so we went out to downtown Sesto, which just happened to be hosting a large CARNIVAL! It was pretty fun, we all had a good time. But to get more on topic with my post. Here are some general likes and dislikes of the whole traveling abroad scenario.
LIKES)
1) Ben Stiller (how he looked like Ben from the movie zoolander, sat beside me the entire flight, and even helped me with my backrest. awesome.
2) Having a brew with a fellow Wisconsin student in the Frankfurt airport. It was my first legal purchase of alcohol. At 10AM. It was fantastic
3) Me not loosing baggage
4) Flying over the Swiss Alps with a glass of Red Wine in hand. Someone honestly should have painted a portraite of that moment.
5) The maps on the TV screens that showed where the plane was in progression to its final destination.
6) The new airports and airplanes. obvskies.
7) Traveling 640 MPH, at 39,000 feet, and over 4,000 miles
DISLIKES)
1) NOT being able to sleep at all. as of now I haven't slept for almost 48 hours
2) The girl behind me that kept pushing my reclined seat up.
3) Transfering
4) The frankfurt terminal
A) It's so confusing. But the best part is is that they have these "camel smoking terminals". Essentially glass boxes where you go to smoke cigarettes and all. They're honestly as popular in German terminals as coffee shops. I almost took a picture but everyone was looking.
5) THE INFLIGHT FOOD. Terrible. The served some sorry excuse for chicken teriyaki. It was rubbery. And half of it was hot while the other half was cold. Bad news bears. Why can't airplane food just serve chicken tenders or something like that?
There is my airplane update. The Florence arrival / villa night one post will be up within the next day or two!
Matt, don't you know airplane travel rule #1 - bring your own snacks in case there is no/bad food?! And everyone knows you don't like food that is colder than piping hot! I liked your list; some things made me laugh. How much did that glass of airplane wine set you back?!
ReplyDeleteLove ya, we are thinking about you all the time & bagooz says Hi Mmmmmmm...
I paint portraits of people drinking wine. $300.
ReplyDeleteIl mio bambino, Laura, dice "buon giorno!" - how accurate is this sentence?
ReplyDeleteMatt: You have to know I will be critiquing your spelling/grammar. Consider it a minor to accompany your major.
ReplyDelete"3) Me not loosing baggage"
LOSING.
I am horrible but this is one of my most-hated errors. I will continue to only point out my most-hated errors if I can constrain myself.
Anyway, AWESOME! Enjoy Matty!
Also, I love this:
