Finally some vacations! My life has been a great rush lately, so I really needed to take a pause and relax. :)

Today, despite the extreme weather conditions in Oslo (-11C and fog), I managed to fly back to Italy, where I will stay for a short while. I will spend one week with my family and then I will visit my friend Fabio in Milan. We will celebrate New Year’s eve together in an “Italian-Norwegian” party in Como’s lake.

Thereby, I will try to be as far as possible from my laptop before 2008 starts, so I take this chance to wish everyone Merry Christmas, Buon Natale, Bon Nadal, Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noël, God Jul…

From Spain to Italy by car

I am back from a long trip together with my girlfriend. It has been great! With her car we started from Barcelona and we stopped one day in Avignon, one afternoon in Chamonix, one week in the wonderful Aosta Valley, two days in Florence and finally back home, in L’Aquila.

I will upload some pictures on flickr as soon as possible.

Update 19 of May: a lot of pictures from the trip have been uploaded on my flickr photostream.

Back in Bergen

Thursday I came in Bergen, a very beautiful city in the Atlantic coast of Norway where I lived for one year as an Erasmus student. Only those who had the same experience can understand how many memories you collected living in a multicultural environment like this. I always had the sensations to live my life two time faster when I was here. You meet everyday new people, you understand a lot about other cultures and your own culture, you improve your languages knowledge, you enjoy the life as you never did before…
Coming back here I had an extraordinary mix of sensations, that are very difficult to describe in a blog, especially when you do not write in your mothertongue. ;) When I just opened the door of the Fantoft Student Hostel – the hostel where all the foreign students in Bergen live – it seemed to me that I never left this place. I recognised even the little details like the smell in the corridors and the noise of the elevators. For a moment I was half smiling and half crying.
By the way, I will stay here until the 18 of April, probably part of my future will be decided during these days so please, keep the fingers crossed for me! ;)
