Olafur Helgi (oh how)

I tried to make this trip to Italy more fun, because I really homesick so I singed up for a trip to Torino to go on a Paired. Where I went alone on a bus for an hour and was waking along in this new city and didn’t know where to go. There I meet a woman called Lola and a boy called Fabio. They came also with the bus from Milan but they are from another town called Verbaina, north of Italy. They were really nice. Fabio asked me if I was alone and I said yes and he asked me if I wanted to join them and before I knew it I was holding a big flag and waking along in the paired. People were taking pictures of me like I was famous and later in the night a gay walked up to my and said some thing on Italian and I didn’t understand him but Fabio started to yell out FAMOSO, FAMOSO! And later I found out that this guy wad saying that he saw me on telly this evening. And he notes my cool hair style. Mamma mia that didn’t take long too be famous. I had great time there ad didn’t get back home to Milan on till like 6 in the morning. They didn’t speak any English so I had to really try my Italian.

Well School didn’t go so good. They have these levels in the school and one level is for 6 weeks and is separated in to three two weeks program. So the 1^st level is level 1, level 1a and level 1b. Every 2^nd Friday we have an exam and if we pass the exam we can go on to the next level (to pass you have to get over 50 out of 100). I had to repeat level 1a two times. But the 2^nd time I was the 2^nd highest in my class with 71 out of 100. Next Friday I have an exam in level 1a. Hope I can pass. Italian is really hard and I so often just want to jump on a airplane and go back to Iceland where every thing is normal for me.

I been to a lot of stuff here to make it fun and tried always to meet new people but some how it’s doesn’t work. Popularly because of my bad Italian and no one speaks English. I been to a museum about a great theatre here called the La Scala. That was s much fun, and to she these great buildings they are amazing. They are so decorated with statues and just amazing. Actually, I’m going to a show in La Scala next Friday with my hostess Concetta. I can’t wait. I been to a catholic cathedral and wow they are beautiful they are so much decorated. And I have seen the last supper by Lenardo da Vinci. It’s strange to see a famous art work like that. I have been to a museum about Leonardo, Mosart, transport in Italy and many other things. I saw a big submarine it was so cool. This Saturday I just came from Genova and that is a beautiful city. It was ones one of the biggest sea industry cities in the world. That city is a typical Italian city with narrow streets and all the old sidewalks makes you feel like you are in a movie. I took some pictures and I will put them on the web. Well tonight Italia is playing against French in the world cup games in soccer. Italians are really in to soccer and every time the have won a game the celebrate all night and honking there horns on ther cars all night so people like me that doesn’t celebrate stuff like that, and ant’s to get to bed on time. We don’t get any sleep.
