Gonzaga-in-Cagli 2011: At the Roma Termini

http://gonzagaincagli2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/at-roma-termini.html

Sunday, July 3, 2011. At the Roma Termini. Termini, I missed two trains to Florence. For the first missed train, I made the idiotic error of mixing up the Italian words ‘biglietto’ and ‘binario’. The word ‘biglietto’ means ticket. The word ‘binario’ means platform. After paying my train fare to Florence, I looked down at the ticket and saw the number ‘1’ next to the word ‘biglietto’ and thought, “Great! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Gonzaga-in-Cagli 2011: A Life-Altering Experience

http://gonzagaincagli2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/life-altering-experience.html

Saturday, July 2, 2011. 8220;Italy is not a Catholic country, but it has a Catholic culture.”. 8211; Dr. Caputo, 2011. Is Cagli a Catholic town, or does it merely have a Catholic culture, and what exactly is the difference? In the days that remain, I will continue to seek the knowledge and depth of understanding that might enable me to not only articulate answers, but feel them as well.

Gonzaga-in-Cagli 2011: Comfortable Silence

http://gonzagaincagli2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/comfortable-silence.html

Saturday, July 2, 2011. Life in Cagli, I am struck by the ease of forming relationships across generations. In the United States, most young people feel comfortable approaching and speaking with their peers. If one sees a twenty-something fraternizing with someone in their sixties it’s assumed their bond comes from family ties, not friendship. I have rarely developed friendships with people even fifteen years my senior, let alone 50. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). About the Cagli Project.

Gonzaga-in-Cagli 2011: Intercultural Dissonance

http://gonzagaincagli2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/intercultural-dissonance_06.html

Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Césare Baldeshi’s beautiful garden, overlooking the swimming pool and vista rich with mountains and farmland, our dialogue is relaxed and varied. Arms akimbo, popping to the edge of the chair, reclining back, standing up for emphasis, Césare ensures I understand what he is saying. Applying these strategies, I ease further into acculturation through an enriching dialogue with Césare Baldeshi. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). About the Cagli Project.

Gonzaga-in-Cagli 2011: Unknown Faux Pas

http://gonzagaincagli2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/unknown-faux-pas.html

Wednesday, July 6, 2011. In Cagli has been fun and filled with social mistakes. My goal has been to learn as much as possible about the reality of life in a small Italian town. I’ve eaten a lot of pizza and pasta. I enjoyed several mid-afternoon pausae. I’ve tried gelato and sampled the vino. Just recently though, I’ve learned that while trying to assimilate, I’ve made several errors:. 183; Jake’s name is actually Jack. 183; Italians don’t eat pizza for lunch. 183; You only use “ Ciao.

Gonzaga-in-Cagli 2011: Free Beer

http://gonzagaincagli2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/free-beer.html

Saturday, July 2, 2011. 8221; A CHEERING. The time that one has with their drink is also a cultural difference, no rush. Italians can sit for hours enjoying just one glass of wine without having the bartender be frustrated, in America the question “can I get you another? 8221; would have been asked several times. The drinking habits of Italians differ in the fact that being drunk is socially unacceptable whereas many Americans we have no shame in “going big! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Gonzaga-in-Cagli 2011: It's Just a Matter of Time

http://gonzagaincagli2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/its-just-matter-of-time.html

Wednesday, July 6, 2011. It's Just a Matter of Time. I KNEW THIS DAY. 8221; I exclaimed in my impression of an Italian accent. He responded the same. “ Quanto costa lavare? 8221; (How much does it cost for laundry? I could not understand his response to that question, so I moved on to the next. “ Com'e lungo lavare? 8221; (How long laundry? After listening closely to a lengthy reply, I finally recognized one word that answered my question: “ Lunedi. 8221; Her response was “ Si, mano, mano. Gonzaga-in-Cag...
