It's going by fast...


Ciao!


It is hard to believe we are already half way through our program in Bergamo. Classes are going by faster than anyone could have imagined and in only a few days we will be venturing out on our last free weekend.



This past weekend marked our second period of travel. A large group of students headed to the sunny beaches of Barcelona, Spain, and a few others to various spots in Greece, Cinque Terre, Amsterdam, or Paris. Most came back with a tan and great stories. Barcelona was a great success. Being the long weekend, we spent 5 days and 4 nights in the busy city and enjoyed every second of it! Days were spent lounging on the beach or seeing the sights at Parc Guell, Las Ramblas, or Sagradia Familia. Nights were like nothing Mizzou has ever seen...clubs and pubs didn't even open until past midnight and they stayed open until the sun came up! It was definitely a tiring, but very fun weekend.





Cinque Terre offered another sunny getaway. Students hiked the trails between the five villages and then relaxed on the rocky beaches of the sea. This town is a hidden treasure, full of history but very welcoming to travelers. It has been a favorite to visit on the program, and being only a few hours away by train it is an easy trip to make!




This week we will be very busy with classes and activities. Wednesday students in Professor Cavalone's International Marketing class will visit Beretta meat company to hear about a family owned Italian company made big. Then, on Thursday we will visit a local winery known for their unique flavors and brilliant view. Stay posted to hear all about the adventures of the week!



Ciao!

  1. If I were to wager a guess at why, I’d say that users don’t “browse” forms. The interaction style users engage in with forms is different, and requires its own study and design best practices.
