Before now I had never travelled out of New Zealand. My trip to italy has not only did it envolve 28 hours of flights to the other side of the world. But also my first trip through a time warp. Italy is and amazing and beautiful counrty full to the brim with history and culture. Were ever you turn you find elderly women hanging out their sheets and towels from the third floor of there old stone building with its green shutters. Sometimes when I walk down the street with vans and vespas screaming past me horns blaring i can close my eyes and see the horse pulled carrages shuffling down the bumpy streets of Florence.
I live just out of Florence in a small comunitee surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. I travel into the centre of the city Monday to Saturday were I go to an artistic school were I am studying drawing.
The Italians are such wonderful and affectionate people. I have made many friends at school and my house family are absolutely wonderful. I am very greatful of you for giving me the chance to meet so many wonderful people and i have only been here for 2 months.
With AFS I have traveled to Ceasenatico a small port town on the east side of Italy It was very well organised and it was really good to talk with people who also understand the things and changes that are happening in my life. Afs Italy has taught me somethings that I cant wait to bring back to New Zealand and introduce to my chapter.Last week I travelled with my school to Venice with my school. We vistited the world art exibition it was amazing. We are now planning a trip to Milan.

WOW! It is now 2010! Last year was such a big year for me. With many big endings and new beginnings. Now is a time to reflect on the happenings of an important time for everyone and that being our childhood. At 17 i have lived in 3 decades and witnessed 2 millenims. I have been here for almost 5 months now and the time has seemed to fly by. They have brought about a lot of change in my life including the scenery, waking hours, buildings and ultimately the language. Its amazing the things you wish you had appresiated more you had them, when you dont have them. Italy has a beautiful countryside that looks similar to the canterbury plains but different kinds of greens. Its sometimes hard to apresiate them when you driving down the autostrada at 150km/h admist the grey tagged sound proofing walls really makes you appresiate the winding to laned roads admist the fields and the trees in NZ. But its easy to forget the grey when you enter the wonderful old and grand cities or the small villages with beautiful little churchs in there centre. During the christmas vacation I travlled with my host family to the north of Italy. I visited Milan, Brecia, Begamo and many small villages where many extended members of the family live. I also vivited the families summer house ( which during the winter is extremly cold with -7 outside. But its not all travel. I go to school everyday because I love it. But Im not going to lie getting up at 6am in the morning to go to school on a satarday is not an extremely happy time for me. In the afternoons i go to my Itialian corse with is alot of fun. Thwe teechers are really good and I feel my Italian getting better everyday Although I know my Italian is getting better I feel it is happining to slow especially when I know that other people on the afs programmes are picking it up really fast but I try not to let that get me down and always remember the great chance I have been giving and I know that I will eventually reach there level and the harder I work the faster it will come. To reach the top I need to build myself a stedy set of stairs. Speaking of stairs. In italy there are alway stairs you must climb. To get into a building and up to the level you want. At my school all my classes are on the forth floor so i generaly have to climb them at least twice because at interval i generally move down to the courtyard. But my school building is old and mismatched but increadibly welcoming and the people are just as nice someone is always willing to lend a helping hand or share a smile.

Yeah yeah i know there not good... but well... im sorry...
