Weekend!

Happy weekend everyone!

Last night was my first night out in Genoa, and what a night it was! First of all, if you have never taken a taxi ride in Italy, you don't know how terrifying it can be. Add alcohol to the mix, and it's pretty much a nightmare.

So we (everyone in the villa, including professors) went down near Piazza de Ferrari to an area full of bars and the younger crowd. The drinks were strong and cheap, and we met many interesting people, including someone from South Africa who was pushing his way through and just happened to come across us english speaking folk. He was a pretty funny guy.

An important thing I learned last night is that Italians frown on girls going to the bathroom in groups! Three of us went in together, and before we knew it, they were yelling at us through the door and trying to bang it down! Haha. Un momento, per favore! Haha I guess they either thought we were lesbians, doing drugs, or both. Sure fooled them, eh?

So now we are just hanging out and waiting for last night's episode of Grey's to download. We have to download it from Limewire, because you can only see it on abc.com if you are WITHIN THE UNITED STATES!!! Grrrr.
