First off I want to thank all of my friends back in the state for the birthday wishes, my Facebook and twitter were blowing up. :)
But I think you guys will prb want to hear what happened here in Rome!
10:00 AM my roommates and I head down to some random park and into a very old building (it's a techno club on the weekends...) we were in orientation from 10:00 am until 6:30 pm... We were scheduled to be done AT 1:30 pm, needless to say that the whole thing is really unorganized and exhausting.
8:00 PM My roommates and I had everyone in our school over to hang out for a bit before we went out.
11:45 We all head out, jumping on late night busses, splitting cabs, etc.
After going from bar to bar, we finally stayed put long enough for me to shout, "Oye, absinthe" and there were 3 shots of absinthe in front of me... For anyone who has never had absinthe, watch the movie, Get him to the Greek.
-After we got back to our apartment, I went straight to bed, we were all exhausted from walking from place to place. I'm not use to walking this much at all.
- The next morning we had to do something with school in the afternoon, so all of us went to a pizza place right next our apartment. We started to talk to the owners and before we knew it, became really good friends with them. They helped us with our broken Italian, helping use the right word usage and helping us pronounce the right words.
So far Rome has treated me right. I can't wait for what's ahead!
I assume your spellcheck changed absinthe to absent? If not, please disregard the rest of this comment. Have you tried stateside absinthe? If so, how does it differ from European stuff? I had some stateside stuff a little while ago and had a hard time chugging it down and (like you said) didn't feel a thing at the end of it.
