Italy comes from my first impression about "A Room with a view" acted by Julian Sands and Helena and a book "From Senna rive to Firenze "written by a famous chinese painter Wong Wing Suk. That was when I am only a teenage student. And after travel in Italy. I get to know more about this country. From the journey. I met some friends, though we don't know much about each other, I am deeply impressed. Anna come from France, we met each other when she arrived only 2 weeks. She's aged about 40-50 and live next to me. Every day, I saw her wearing a long flare monotone shirk. Matched with her silky hair color. This always reminds me of some cartoon depicting the live style of 18-19th century that I saw when I was young. She is always very quite and artistic. When we talk to each other. She likes to use body language or gesture, and reply in Italian, not quite like to use English. When the two of us were both cooking in the public kitchen., a Italian dictionary was a must. So as to communicate to each other. In the evening, I can hear her sounding voice from every Key of Scales . It must be Anna practicing since she is a vocalist. The building were living in has a patio in the center. So a little bit of sound or noise would be heard clearly. But because her voice is soft and pleasant, it won't be annoying compare with the one live upstairs who always play electric music, the sound made by Anna was nice and elegant. Her singing and her peaceful and quite character, always keeps in my mind. UP

Clark
, is my schoolmate. He
is a gentle and tidy guy. Both study Italian
at Scuola Lenardo da Vinci - Frienze. I'm suprise
of met Clark on the way. He is also trying to find something to eat.
So we are go to Osteria Santo Spirito in Piazza Santo Spirito. Located
at the back of the appartamento I live, there are a lot of restaurants
in the Piazza Santo Spirito. Might be because my focus is always on
the famos museum Plalazz Pitti in front of our appartamento , I ignore
this tiny plaza at our back. A satisfying dinner end the day. |
