I remember posing for family pictures in front of Ponte Vecchio. I remember strolling through the San Lorenzo leather market […]

Around Italia in 10 Days 11/26/14

In total, students get about 27 days of travel in a semester of only 89 days. That’s 30% travel time, which has been so great, but in reality each of us has been looking forward […]

Food experience here 11/20/14
Today, I am going to write about the food experience here. Usually, what I have in CIMBA is like this; first plate-pasta risotto or soup, second plate-meat and vegetables, desert and fruits. Since there are a number of menus in first and second plates, I am satisfied with meals on campus. I could learn how […]

Oktoberfest in Munich! 11/20/14
Ciao! For the third weekend in CIMBA, I decided to leave Italy and go to another country! This was not because I was tired of being in Italy already but because this weekend was the last weekend of Oktoberfest (A grand beer festival) in Munich, Germany! This was quite improvised by my friend, Andy, but […]
