Around Italy in 6 weeks

Surprise! 

Am I the worst in updating or what? (Don’r answer that)

As part of an exchange program from university and thanks to a scholarship from an anonymous and generous donor, I was able to live the Roman Holiday, bask in the sun of Tuscany, go wine-tasting in the mountains, and study an amazing culture and its art! 

I haven’t even begun to tell the tales of my trip to Japan from last summer (remember that??) or my trip to NYC with my boyfriend. 

Please follow me as I share my experiences once more of the amazing journeys I took part in, and share your thoughts with me, too! 

ご無沙汰しました、みな！

驚き (へへ）

この夏、私は6週間のイタリアに行ってきました！

実は、交換留学だった＾＾本当に楽しかったわよ。。。(> m < )

とにかく、日本への旅について書きます！私のボーイフレンドと一緒にニューヨークに行ってきました。

Our dormitory building was an old monk monastery! Modest and beautiful building.
私たちの寮は、修道院にあった！

Dorm windows!

Welcome to our dorm room! My roommate was so nice~
寮の部屋へようこそ！私のルームメイトは、とても素敵でした~

As I opened my shutters for the first time, seeing this gave me “goosebumps…”
鳥肌!!

Both buildings belonged to the monastery.

Our class ate breakfast and dinner at this amazing restaurant everyday!

Well, that sums it up for my residence building and arrival! Next post I’ll talk about the palace bellow and share some stunning photos:

Our residence was closest to the Medici Palace!
レジデンスは、メディチ宮殿に近いでした！

Medici family was one of the most powerful and richest families in Florence, ruling on-and-off for many years.　メディチ家は、ルネサンス期のイタリア・フィレンツェにおいて銀行家、政治家として台頭。Now the palace is a large museum with beautiful gardens, antique fashion and furniture, and rare art collections….one of my favourite places in Florence!

I’ll share the photos next time!

日本語はまだ上手じゃありませんけど、頑張りますよ！(❁´‿`❁)*✲ﾟ*またねー
