Falling in Love with Milano

I am beginning to fall in love with the people here in Milano. Everyday is better. People are beginning to attempt to talk to me and greet me, and starting to feel welcome here in Milano. The other day i went to have an espresso and the man beside me started talking to me, even though I could only figure out a few things he was saying, since he knew no English at all. Also the taxi drivers here are always so friendly as well as funny. The other night I got a taxi to go home and the man was just asking me a million questions, and the conversation was quite funny bc it was all in Italian... and I KNOW SO LITTLE. But we got by... when i got home he kept kissing my hand and saying how bella I was haha.

I'm starting to grow less fond of the Americans here, and spending more time with the Italians. My roommate is nice to me but not overly nice. She seems to give me a vibe that she does not like me... I'm not sure why though. As always it's hard to make girlfriends.

I'm starting to feel more distant towards American culture and really feel like the European lifestyle has always been in my soul. I get espresso 3 or 5 times a day, take transportation, walk everywhere, don't eat breakfast, no gym, and of course always dress to impress :)

I was suppose to go to Florence this weekend with a group of Americans, but I decided to stay in Milano. Since I have seen the city before, it wouldn't be as exciting. So I rather save my money and go somewhere I haven't been before. Anyways tonight there is a real Italian home cooked food, get together I got invited to. I think that itself is worth the experience. Well time to take a nap, I'm exhausted. Bounanotte! Ciao
