Ciao ragazzi!
Last week's program was all about hosting a friend's friend at my apartment and in the mean time having a perfect experience of going and visiting art exhibitions and Italian play's with someone who can really identify the details and meanings more thoroughly (the friend's friend was a movie director student).

But the most exciting thing that I went through last week was the weekend trip to Sicily with one Korean girl and a Finnish guy. We flew to Catania, in the East coast of Sicily, and met my Finnish friend there who is conducting his exchange there - this of course resulted to a heavy drinking night on Friday, but it really was worth it. On Saturday (with a bit of hangover) we took the bus North to Siracusa, an old Greeck city with a rich history, and smell of fish...
Siracusa provided us with a nice cultural experience of an Italian coastal city with its idyllic port and ancient ruins overlooking the sea.

After some nightly round in Catania on Saturday, again, we travelled to Taormina on Sunday to witness some of the most spectacular views that can be seen in Italy. I have to admit that it might host the most beautiful locations for a theatre in the world, an ancient Greeck theatre on top of a very high hill, from where you can see Sicily's greatest sites - Etna, the sea and the beautiful landscape of Taormina. Words really can't properly describe the awesomeness of the area. For that, you can enjoy the pictures posted here.
So Sicily was a complete success, and I really have to recommend to everyone. The mysterious island of Mafia and kind Italian people should be more popular among travellers who wish to experience the proper Italy.
As I write this I am again accepting the reality of studying abroad, that said lectures and upcoming exams...
Until next time!
