8 January, 1999
|
Tonight, everyone on the
program (95 students) had a big group meal at a gorgeous palace ballroom that was adorned
with beautiful golden statues. The meal was very formal and, quite honestly, I would
have preferred just some big bowls of pasta. But there will be plenty of time for
that! |
Earlier today, we had the first meeting of everyone on the
program and we went on a short tour of the neighborhood here. Everything seems so
concentrated, as if it has been shrunk in order to put more sights into one viewpoint.
I am getting used to it, but I find myself stopping very often to gawk at
everything around me. |
Move on to the next day, 9 January, 1999.
