First day of actually being in Castellanza, what do we do – we go on a food hunt!

But that is no dance of roses, oh no. We started walking around in the village, which is in a much higher state of quality than I had expected, and with the weather like the one we have you simple must go outside! After a while and still without breakfast we started trying to get a hold of a supermarket. Only not one single person seems to speak any English here. After a body-language instruction we set off to what we thought was the right way. After some time we decided to ask another person, who just shook her head and by understanding words of Italian and again the lovely body-language we were actually offered a ride to the food store.

 

We are still entirely in awe of how sweet Nadia, the woman, was when she just allowed three strangers/ slightly lost exchange students to ride with her in the car, without understanding a word of what we are saying. That would never, ever happen in Sweden. Inside the store we could manage – Gabriel however once needed to ask for the soap, and started to mimic showering to a woman, who just looked at him before asking in perfect English: What do you want? Good times!
