cagli adesso 2008: Food
http://cagli2008.blogspot.com/2008/06/food.html
FOOD IS THE ULTIMATE COMMUNICATOR. From my stay here in Cagli, I've come to realize how food can be so universal. Speaking different languages and having different customs poses great problems when. Meeting new people. Yet, just through sharing a meal, as silent as it may be, is enough to tell a whole life story. About the Cagli Project. Website, or the Gonzaga University.

DURING MY TIME IN ITALY. 8221; but as I learned here that is really a derivative from a word in Latin or Italian that means or meant “I am your slave.” Ciao. Is used as a greeting and final word after a conversation much like aloha. About the Cagli Project. Website, or the Gonzaga University. In Cagli (main program site). Cagli 2008 Student Photo Blog.

cagli adesso 2008: Interactive Shopping
http://cagli2008.blogspot.com/2008/06/interactive-shopping.html
I felt like I was in a doctor's office rather than just a regular pharmacy. Perhaps this is because the creams and other substances they hand over are more potent than those in America, or maybe it just relates back to the idea of true customer satisfaction. There is one thing that I will most definitely need in the future though: I will have to remember my dictionary. About the Cagli Project. Website, or the Gonzaga University.

http://cagli2008.blogspot.com/2008/06/salute.html
OUT OF TWENTY-FOUR STUDENTS. At the end of the night, I bought a round to thank them: Alessandro for helping me with my story, and Michele and Seven for playing basketball with me earlier the day before. We clinked glasses, said 'cheers' and 'salute', but before I could put the drink up to my lips, Michele grabbed it and shook his finger at me. About the Cagli Project.

cagli adesso 2008: Crash Course
http://cagli2008.blogspot.com/2008/06/crash-course.html
I TRY TO AVOID. And put forth my best bella figura. I, clearly, am far from fluent in Italian. But I try to speak as much as I can and as correctly as I can. Every day. I have not grown up in Italian culture. I had a vague idea of what it would be like before I came here. (My grandmother, a native Italian, has shared some of the cultural aspects with me my whole life.) But, considering I’ve attempted to adopt a whole new way of life, I’d like to think I’ve meshed pretty well. About the Cagli Project.

cagli adesso 2008: Beach Bodies
http://cagli2008.blogspot.com/2008/06/beach-bodies.html
Yesterday when we went to Fano, I noticed that it was fairly acceptable to where a bikini while pregnant. There were several Italian women- in perfect shape - who sported skimpy swimsuits and not so skimpy bellies. At first I was a little surprised, but then I asked myself, "why? One of the most beautiful, shameless things about life is our ability to create it. Pregnant women shouldn't have to be any more covered up than those that aren't. About the Cagli Project.

THERE IS A PART OF THE CULTURE. 8221; and grabbed my papers and began reading them. Everything he read he said, “yes, yes yes, that is true.” Well, duh. I could have said that too seeing as I interviewed him myself. Is my American culture not as truthful as an Italian one? Are Italians just more open in general with putting it on the table and making themselves heard? If I was so uncomfortable, why did I still feel the need to be polite and respectful?

University of San Francisco). IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FOOD. Not the tipping. I am still not used to the fact that you are not supposed to tip here in Italia. I must admit that it is nice not having to shell out an extra five bucks, but I still find myself almost adding that extra 15-20 percent onto the check. Living in the States it is almost as if the service experience is as important as the food that is being consumed. Spending the weekend traveling, I expected to spend a few euro, which I successfully did...

cagli adesso 2008: Men and Boys
http://cagli2008.blogspot.com/2008/06/men-and-boys.html
IF THERE'S ONE THING I LEARNED. From the bar scene in Italy, it's the difference between Italian men and Italian boys. Back home, teenage boys are shy to approach girls who are older than them. In Italy? Not so much. Right here in Cagli I've witnessed the attack of the Italian 16-year-old. They come out at night, like animals on the hunt, and they prey on the older American girl. In broken, spotty English. These men range in age from 18 to 80 and sometimes it's hard to tell. About the Cagli Project.
