I have a growing fascination for all things Italian, starting from the language, the culture, fashion, food, art, and natural beauty. Making a few visits to select destinations is on the top of my travel to-do list.
In this blog I will try to write in my halting, error-ridden Italian about things that affect me on a daily basis, and maybe a little about my struggles on learning this butter-smooth, yet somewhat grammatically whimsical language.
All that would change, I am sure, once I start visiting Italy; at which point I would commence madly posting my travellogues!

When the earth shook beneath my feet during my Italian lessons
This evening as I was settling down to my Italian lessons after a long day, I started feeling dizzy, very dizzy. When I stood up, I could not keep my head on straight, it kept tilting to one side.As I looked around, the doors were swinging, my chair was rolling back and forth on its wheels,the water inside the bottle was shaking, keyrings were swinging on hooks...I wasnt sure what was going on
I pulled on a t-shirt, grabbed my keys and rushed out...as I went down the 16 floors in the lift, I kept thinking that I should have probably taken the stairs....
Turns out, nearby Indonesia had a 7.9 earthquake, and I was not hallucinating after all! Those were the aftershocks of the main quake.
Typically, when I called my husband he said I should have been taking videos!
