ciao, bellos and bellas-- ellis is in florence! the weather is hot (about the same temp as shanghai but half as humid, which is still really humid), the food is incredible, the males are gorgeous and the stuff is expensive. rachel is also updating her livejournal as i speak to you through this wacky keyboard, so she'll probably tell you something interesting. florence is gorgeous and touristy. i feel really bad that i don't speak italian, because i like knowing what's going on and at least being able to converse with people. i can usually understand what someone says to me, i just can't speak it back. damn.
the cheese here is really good.
rachel and i found a place that serves indian food, so when i need to i can curb that craving, but i still have yet to find a place that serves hummus. though i've decided that one day my meal will be gelato served on a waffle, because they have those here. tasty!
the supermarket here is also really good, much better (in my humble foodie opinion) than the one in shanghai. so there.
but it's really hard to get chinese out of my tongue, and i don't really want to, but no one will understand me if i speak chinese. though rachel and i did discover pisa's chinatown. hmmm.
well internet time is running out and dinner's in 40 minutes, so i be thee all buona notte!
