Ah, goodbye, Italy! It has been fun and an unbelievable experience. I am so thankful for all the people who helped organize and facilitate our travels, as coordinating 20 or so people is not an easy task. I have learned so much over the last 10 days: lots of geology, but also culture and language. So now a little reflection:
Random things I have learned in Italy:
- If you try to speak Italian, native speakers will get excited and are totally willing to help you through it!
- Andiamo a mangiare: Let's go to eat! Always a useful phrase.
- Ecco/Eccolo: Here/Here it is. This phrase became commonly used within our group, sometime in earnest, mostly in jest.
- Everyone drives stick, and now I know the smell of a clutch.
- Regarding pizza
- Having pizza in slices is not common practice.
- Pizza is not originally Italian (yes, my brother told me this before I went).
- Calzone = pizza bag
- I want to go back
