ok now that i am into this i am feeling more up to writing about what its like here sooo:
so trieste is a very small but dense city. its not super old ruins like in rome, but it has a few things and for the most part the architecture is really visually pleasing. everyone in the city is VERY VERY nice. always extremely helpful when looking for directions or anything. its much like a small town in the way that works. its also mostly older people and then college students because of the university.
there is one street known as viale (settembre) which is a street many university students go to at night for bars and i think there might be a discotec there from what ive heard.
shopping is located throughout the city...everywhere.. it makes it difficult because theres so much of it spread out everywhere.
also trieste is a small city on the mountain downwards to the seaside. this means everything in trieste is uphill downhill stair stair stairssss so many stairs all the time. theres not quite as many little villa parks as i would like but theres a couple.
the main piazza, piazza d'unita is located in downtown on the seaside near the dock going out in the sea. there is lots of bars and shopping and gelato and tourists here. if you go further into the city there is more of these things located and then as you go further up you finally reach the university. from the seaside to the university it may be something like an hour walk.
the dorm im living in is alot of non italian students. it seems that most of the real italian students live in apartments throughout the city (which all i have seen are actually really nice apartments!! cheap too in certain parts!)
we have met alot of albanians that live here in the building, so understanding through accents of everyone is extremely difficult for me. downstairs we have a gameroom with ping pong and FOOSBALL!
okk that is all for now!
I've really enjoyed looking at your blog. Keep it up! It looks like you're in a beautiful place.
