Turin

Turin was good, it's surprisingly nice for a city mainly known for it's industry.
I met some really lovely girls, Lucy from Nottingham, Steph from Essex, Lucy from somewhere else...I can't remember where hehe and Lilliah whose half Dutch and from Bournemouth, it's mainly girls that do the asstistantship there was about 4 boys.
I met Lilliah at the airport so we could get lost together, not many people figured out the confusing bus system so we all took taxis everywhere. The first day was introductions, then Lilliah and I went to do some shopping and to McDonalds, it was cheaper than getting a taxi back to the school for our free food. On saturday, we did learning activities like role play and listening then had our free school dinner. We visited the cinema museum which was really interesting with all it's old movie sets and films were played everywhere on random screens and then we headed to one of the piazza's for live music, ice cream and cocktails, by the time the other assistants were heading out we were heading home so we didn't really meet many people.
The actual training wasn't that useful, most people are teaching 14 to 19's and most of the activities seemed more suitable for younger students. But at least I get to visit Florence and Sicily hopefully at some point :)
