eh, so the Excitement of Travel has worn off a bit

Yes, it has. Honestly, I am a little tired of organizing hostels, looking at train schedules, trying in vain to figure out how the Italian bus schedules work (I think I've ALMOST got Perugia's bus system down, now that I'm leaving in 2-3 days) Oh yeah, not to mention that the 3 day tour I was going to take to Sicily got cancelled due to not enough people. Upside: I got refunded the 218 euro, and I get to spend a few more days travelling to cute towns around Perugia with my Vietnamese roommate, Kim. I will still go to Rome on Sunday for 5 nites, because I already reserved the hostel. Then off to Frankfurt, Germany for 4-5 nites to spend with Lea Spahn, my friend I've known for about 10 years - she went to Highschool with me for about a year, and also college at MUM in Fairfield.

After Frankfurt, it's off to Paris or London. I would like to go to Paris, but I think there's been some miscommunication between me and my friend in Paris. About a week or so ago, I emailed her and asked if i could stay with her. She said it was fine, gave me the address, said I could come anytime, gave me her cell number, etc. She even told me what bus to take (and the COLOR of the LINE!). She only told me to let her know a few days in advance before i came.

So I email her yesterday and ask her if the dates I'm planning to come are all right. Today I received the strangest reply:

"oh my darleeeen,
fuck you
bye bye,

Coralie"

So basically I don't know if she is just joking around, or if she is a real bitch. I have noticed in Italy, anyways, that the word "Fuck" does not seem as insulting or piercing as in the states. I have seen it written on a few public posters, for example, bars advertising "Fuck night."
I don't know, maybe they think it's cool and American or something.

Eh, va bene. It's fine. I'm cool if I don't go to Paris. I just want to know what this girl is thinking! I emailed her back and asked what she really meant, and tried calling her cell, but she didn't answer. I'll post later when i know what's going on...

Till later,
Ciao Carissimi!
Bye Dear ones!
