Perugina chocolates

Priya was right, leave the chocolates to the Belgian. Although I personally prefer German chocs. I tried Italian, but I still prefer others. We went to the Perugina factory last week and I booked us a factory tour, of course as typical as it gets, when we got there, they said we can't visit the factory cause they finish operation for the day. But I made a reservation? Yes but you know, I have to understand where I am. So yes, just a taste of their samples and the little museum. Nothing all that great but I will go back again with my classmates.

When Priya was here we had busy nights, we were out every night with this friend or other, and it was mad. It was a typical student lifestyle in Perugia, something that I feel I'm too old to hang out every night not to mention that a few Euros a night on nightlife is a lot once you start putting them together.

So yes, will cut down nightlife to once a week or so. Whatever it is, must go dancing. Smoking and drinking isn't for me, so dancing is more like it. Soon... I better do something bout my plans or else before I know it I'm going home. After all in June theatre practice will be every night.

Do the beer in Italy taste different or is it just me? They come in plastic cups at night cause bottles are barred from the 'steps' where people hang out. I realise that Asians don't hang out at the steps, only Europeans do and mostly Italians. Not sure why but maybe I will know sooner or later.

Bree, my American friend from theatre is staying the weekend with me cause her housing contract is finishing this Saturday morning and as you all know May 1 is Labour Day, so we'll go visit some town together. Not sure where but somewhere near and cheap. After all there will also be celebrations going on in Perugia, and I have homework to do.

Me and Priya actually attended a bonfire at a vineyard in middle of Perugia hill. Isn't that cool? It's great fun. This is a great town. Small and compact. Everything is walking distance, up and down hills but still do-able in this great weather.

It's a great student life you know, spend half a day in school, get good food in the canteen (REALLY GOOD), hang out at the park, nap or play ball with my housemates or listen to people playing guitar.

Sorry if I sound like a village girl but I never had the opportunity to hang out in park after class back in Malaysia. It's like living a dream.

Gotta go, time to attend choir practice/singing lesson (my first time just to check it out). As usual it's Thursday, every evening I go watch free Italian movie in the university.

Ciao,
Angeline
