Etiquette, Eating & Excursions Abroad 02/27/18

Coming into CIMBA and studying abroad I would not have considered myself a very polite eater at dinner. However, things changed when all of us had the opportunity to attend an Etiquette seminar hosted by Dr. Al Ringleb. Here, we learned all the must-knows for European dining, such as silverware placement, allowing the host to […]

Traveling in Europe: Planes, Trains, and Automobili 10/17/16

Ciao, Before I touch on traveling so far during the semester, just a few things to talk about.  Firstly, you know those formal dinners that CIMBA tells you about? Bring an appetite! I made a little mistake of grazing my way through the hors d’oeuvres and by graze, I mean I treated it like my last […]

Is It Over Already? 06/19/15

I did not think that that my CIMBA experience would fly by this fast, but lo-and-behold it’s over. Finals are completed; we’re checked out of our rooms and off on our final adventure (to Split, Croatia) before we head home. While CIMBA flew by way too fast, it is certainly an experience I am grateful […]

How to Balance Study & Travel 06/15/15

Ciao! I have just completed my fourth and final week at CIMBA. The time really has flown by and I can’t believe that it is done. Studying during the week, traveling on the weekends, making friendships and memories along the way have consumed my time. I couldn’t have asked for a better learning experience. CIMBA […]

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 […]

2nd Gourmet Dinner 10/28/14

Ciao! Today, I will introduce CIMBA FALL 2014’s second gourmet dinner. Last time, the dinner was held in a nice Italian garden that provided us a full-course, formal dinner. This time the supper was held in a hotel. Even though both are formal dinners, the style was slightly different.  This dinner had an appetizer time outdoor (but […]

My Final Days At CIMBA 04/03/14

Last night, we had our third and final CIMBA gourmet dinner. Every semester, CIMBA schedules three gourmet dinners, and the students and staff dress up and eat a nice, authentic Italian meal.

A Peek Into Our First Gourmet Dinner 02/10/14

Our meal started around 9pm, but the preparation began hours earlier.  We had been hearing about the infamous Gourmet Dinners since our first day on campus.  Some of us have actually been aware of these dinners even before we arrived in Italy, because of students who have gone through the program in the past. A […]

Bittersweet Ending 06/13/13

It’s still surreal that when I wake up tomorrow morning, that will be the last time I’ll ever wake up in Paderno del Grappa, Italy. I still don’t think it has fully sunk in that my four weeks here are coming to an end in a little over 24 hours. The summer program has been […]
