so today, i was sitting in the student cafeteria in the city center, vanilla, having lunch with 3 french friends, a spanish boy, a girl from hungary, a girl from ireland and a girl from belgium. and we started talking about nesquik because anais and pello drink it every morning for breakfast! but get this...they drink their milk out of a bowl. now that is just asking for a milk mustache...come to find out that it is very common in france and spain to drink chocolate milk out of a large bowl for breakfast! why not a mug i ask? well, it is too hard to dip your bread or eat some 'cereals' out of a mug, so of course drinking from a bowl is a good solution! anais also explained that her parents drink coffee out of a bowl for breakfast, a mug for lunch and a tiny cup for dinner. now that makes a bit more sense, but really...wouldn't just a bigger mug do the trick? i love to find these small differences in cultures... so fun.
so tonight, i am having dinner with all the other arch/design exchange students at filippo's flat. he is from near verona,italy but goes to school in venice and is making us all an italian feast! i am getting excited...... oh, parmesan reggiano!
