*Weekend Travel
This was our first chance to get out of Bergamo and explore all that Europe has to offer. A big group of students went to Prague, another to Rome, and several to Cinque Terre, Berlin, and Barcelona. It interesting to see what other cities, and even countries have to offer and how they compare to life back in Bergamo. The group in Prague had a great time seeing the Clock chime on the hour, as well as check out the cool architecture of the ancient city.
The groups in Rome and Florence also fun visiting an entirely different side of Italy. Checking out the Coliseum, Trevi Fountain, and Spanish Steps all proved to be exciting as well as informative. The weather was agreeable and no one could ask for a better weekend!
*Pizza Party
This is always one of our most exciting parties! The Missouri and Italian students gather at a famous pizza place here in Bergamo where we chat and munch on meter long pizza...yes, thats right, it's a meter long! The pizza is cooked in a huge brick oven, then brought out and cute right in front of you. We exchanged our program T-Shirts here, as well, so expect to see a lot of Bergamo University shirts back on campus. Tons of pictures were taken this night, so check out our ShutterFly page later!
*Class
Of course, that's why we are here, right? Classes have been going well. Students are having fun learning about international business in an international setting. A lot of the professors are requiring that Missouri and Italian students work on projects together which is proving to be a lot of fun. It seems that a lot of friendships are being formed, a soccer game between American and Italian students is in the works as we speak!
Well, that's our week in a nutshell. We have a lot more coming up, so stay posted so see what we've been up to here in Bergamo. Ciao!
