For those of you who are wondering what my "campus" looks like or what it would be like to study abroad, in this fine city, This post is for you!

| This is the Odeon Theater and when there isn't an international film festival, they show movies in English with Italian subtitles! The right side of the building is where I have half my classes. LDM is on the "3rd floor" of this building... well more like, LDM is 7 flights up... 3rd floor my butt! |

This is the San Lorenzo Market - open everyday day, all day, all year around, rain or shine! I took this picture on the way to class one morning. They wheel their janky carts down the cobble stone streets every morning. The same routine everyday, setting up all their merchandise. I commend them for their consistency! Walking home from class it never fails, I hear someone say...
"Ciao Bella, Hello, do you speak Italian? English?... JAPANESE!?" or my favorite, "free jacket for you, yeah?!" The guys in Florence are a different breed all together. If I go a day without hearing a cat call or obnoxious comment from a local, its a rare day! They are relatively harmless though really! Just learn a few basic Italian phrases, get the "pissed off European, don't mess with me look" AND walk then you'll pretty much be left alone! On days i need a good laugh or want to snoop for good souvenirs, I walk through the middle of the market but ive learned to just avoid it and walk behind the booths to get to class! |
Pictures of the more important side of campus "Via Faenza" coming soon! |
