Our first days in Italy. Christine

Being in Italy has so far been an amazing experience and adventure.  After only two days we have been exposed to several different cultural differences!  One thing we noticed is that waiters do not like to be tipped!  This was very unusual because in America it is required to leave a tip!  Last night we met a few Italian students from the catholic college who gave us a little bit of the background history on Brescia.  These students were helpful and it was interesting to see how similar the students in America vs the students over in Italy actually are.  At the end of the night, the students paid for our meals, and refused to let us pay!  Being around the college students made us feel welcomed in their country!  So far we have had an amazing experience and can not wait to see what adventures we have left in our journey!
