Forums - General Discussion - My first ever trip to Italy

VGPolyglot on 05 May 2015

As some of you may or may not know, I am currently on a three month student trip in France. Well, my host family decided that take me to Italy today. We ended up spending the day in Turin (about 1 1/2 hours away from where I am staying). It was very nice! It was weird being in a place where I didn't understand the local language (I can't speak any Italian), but luckily my host family has some knowledge. We went to the Egyptian museum, ate Italian pizza and ice cream, and took the train to look around other parts of Italy. We also did a tour around the city. Overall, I would say it was a very nice experience! I hope that I will eventually be able to experience Italy more in depth in the future.

You should put the Italian flag in your avatar.

You had pizza and ice cream in italy? Why not have italian food while you are there?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

The first 2 flags (USA and Canada) represent my nationalities, while the bottom six represent my ethnicity.

Pizza isn't Italian?

I went there last year, the embalmed bodies were pretty cool.  Also had great ice cream there.

I've been to far better cities and places in Italy though. :p

Well, we only had one day, so we went to a city that was close to us.

Did you "see" the Shroud of Turin?
