Alright. In a few more hours I will be on my way to Italy! I'm very excited about this trip and look forward to eating a real Italian cuisine (Italian is actually my favorite type of food). This project has allowed me to come into contact with a really talented pool of youth. Plus I was able to upgrade my social networking skills so I can keep up with their pace...LOL! I'm really amazed at how the film worked out. I hope we, Sci-Port, can carry out another project along the same lines. I can go on and on about all the posititives but I think I'll summarize by saying I am grateful to help out and I appreciate the opportunity.
While the Italians were here, I learned how to speak some Italian words, and, to self-deprecate, how to NOT speak some Italian words :-). I found out Emanuele enjoys hot and spicy food like I do, which was a big surprise to me because I'd heard of all these great meals/victuals that originate from Italy, and not once had I imagined their being hot sauce available. WOW! (BTW - thanks Emanuele for keeping the toothpick on your tongue long enough for me to take a picture.)
One thing I expect when over in Italy is to try to not to embarrass myself when we go walking in the Exilles. I would REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like to visit the Lamborghini plant in Sant'Agata Bolognese (FYI Lamborghinis are my favorite cars. I've loved them since childhood). There, I said it. I finally got that off my chest. I am looking forward to meeting all the VIP's. What I hope to bring back is a better understanding of the Italian culture and their customs - I'm mainly focused on the food.
The premiere was truly an unforgettable experience. I think it's the first time we've done a teen-only event at Sci-Port (or it is since I've been there). I thought it was great to see our young adults in Sci-Port - hopefully this is a spark to several to come back and a way to showcase Sci-Port is a facility that addresses all genres of age.
OK...I'll stop blogging now. Have to save room for the others :-P
