Only four days left!
Now we are in our second week. I truly feel I'm in Italy and we are having so much fun! The only reson why I want to go home, is the water! I really miss the Swedish cold and fresch water, directly taken from the tap. Otherwise, this is totally awsome! This friday we went to Venice! We bought masks and expensive coffee! Then at Sabbato (Saturday) we held our Power Point presentations. And it went all good, not for 2000 people, but two times for about 40-50 people! Then it was domenica (sunday)! The only free day that day have in Italy. We met at "Colorado", were we bowled, danced at dance machines and spent even more money! Then today we were the first time in the kitchen. We made special Italian food, like Pizza, focaccia, Risotto, Ravioli, Polenta... and also the Swedish dish "Janssons frestelse" (Jansson's Temptation"). Then we also visited the hotel "Castel Brando", è belissimo!
This is a picture of our mask, that we bought in Venezia!
Maybe a bad picture, but this is anyway from Castel Brando!
Good chef's are cleaning the (very small) kitchen!
I'll show you more of my pics when I'm home.
Now it's time for Gelato (Ice cream)!!! Ciao!

BYE ICE COLD SWEDEN, HELLO ITALY! :D
What are we supposed to do in Italy?
This is a little brief for you curious outsiders, what are we actually going to do in Italy?
First of all are each of us supposed to live with opposite Italians! At a strangers house, that doesn't even speak our language. This is very exiting! To live in another house, with another language, culture, routines and so on! It will truly be an asset for life!
Except for that has the italians made a program for us, this is briefly what we are going to to do:
Tuesday: Arrival in Italy!
Wednesday: Meting the headmaster and italian lessons in the school IPSSAR "A Beltrame" in Vittorio, Veneto. And then a guided tour in Serravalle..
Thursday: A Cooking competition and a lesson in Food Science.
Friday: We are taking the train to Venice and back!!
Saturday: This is when we are supposed to hold our Power Point Presentations about Sweden and our school!
Sunday: CARNIVAL IN VENICE! Time to get fancy dressed! ;)
Monday: Cooking lesson of basic Italian food, and a visit on Castelbrando castle and a hotel.
Tuesday: Italian wine and tasting lesson, visit in Conegliano and the wine factory "Carpenè Malvolti".
Wednesday: Visit the town centre and Gand Hotel Savoia in the Dolomites.
Thursday: Visit the Electrolux factory and then a Dinner party at School! :D
Friday: Time to go home :(
I am soo curios about all this :D I really look forward to everything and hope that the week does not go all too quickly! 4 days left, and now i really have to get cured!
!
Now it's so close! We only have 2 more days left in school until we are flying down to Italy.. yaaay!

Hit me.
hahahah, Thank you Omar for your "little" joke. I almost was set to do it for so many people, before I found out that it only was a joke.. But I'm looking forward to do it now :)
The biggest thing that I am worried about now, is that I just have become sick! I'm sneezing, coughing and i have headache.. Probably some kind of "jitters before a journey"! But I'm home from school today to recover and practice on our presentation. We are almost ready now! :D
ONLY FIVE DAYS LEFT!!! (I'v already started to pack my bag!)
Look out my new mustache ;)
// Sofia
OMG
Heey! This is the first time i am writing in this blog and it is because i just got a "pop-up chat" from Louise on facebook, she told me to look at the blog and se what Omar had comment:
Hahahaha say whaaaaT?! I thought it would be like maybe 50-200 students! Haha feel no pressure ;)
But otherwise... One week left! Im soooo excited! Me and Sofia have been going around all day and just said: "In a week we are sitting at Arlanda" or "In a week we are in Italy OH MY GOOD", haha and it is only Tuesday...
Can't wait to come! I hope this killer-week in school goes fast...
/Erika
ONE WEEK LEFT!!
Oh now I'm really starting to be nervous.
How will the flight be? What if the weather decides to storm and snow? What if we aren't able to land or start?
And about this Power Point Presentation. What if we don't make it good? How embarrassing. Hahaha, Me and Erika, two idiots from Sweden. What if nobody understands us? And we havn't finished it yet either!
Hahah, probably will everything go well. But you never know!
And what shall I bring? Converse, or warmer shoes? Raincoat, jeans jacket or a winter jacket? How is the weather in Italy? Please tell me :)
Today it was like -15° C in Stockholm. It's insane. We all are looking forward to your "warmer" country! heheh...
This is my snowy house!
Tomorrow shall I buy me a new bag. A bigger bag that doesn't weight too much! And I've already changed money into euro, and my mother was so kind so she gave me all the money! :) My father is helping me too, he has already booked into his calendar that he shall drive me and Fredrik to the train to the airport. Nice parents I have!
So.. Now the time is really starting to running out! It's only one week left and we have like THOUSANDS of things to do in school before we leave!
So enough of this! Time to go back to the other school projects!
Bye!

What we already have done
I think all our tummies has started to tingle, IT'S JUST ONE WEEK AND FIVE DAYS LEFT until we go to Italy! And we have already done a lot of things to prepare for all this.
- First, we recorded small video presentations of ourselves. That must have been the worst thing I've ever done! To sit and talk right into a camera and talk about myself, knowing that this was the first impression that all the Italians would had of me. Horrible. But when we managed that, we got the e-mail-adresses to "our italians" and started to get some contact. That was really funny to see who's place I was going to stay at and who that person was. Rapidly we contacted each other on facebook and I think I am friend with the majority of the involved Italians now! Really good to see everyone :)
- In our English class we have done our CVs and European language passport. It was not so easy as I thought, but they are almost finished. Then we will put it up on our Facebook group, so that the Italians can see what we do, and what we've done.
- Then we have done Power Point presentations about different subjects, like "Italian food", "Swedish School system", "Italian language" and so on.. Then, when we had our parents-meeting we held our presentations in front of our parents, really interesting! (Moreover we invited our parents on an Italian buffet and the teachers talked about the whole trip, on the parents-meeting) Then now.. It is two groups that are going to hold their PP-presentation in Italy in front of 50-200 people!! And one of them is me and Erika! We really have to practice more, because now I am so nervous that I don't even know what I'm talking about.. Kind of :P
- Last week we also linked us up on Skype with Italy! They had a webcam as they were filming with, while Martina ("my Italian") from Italy cooked some food. And we sat in our classroom, eating lunch, with a projector, watching it. Probably we will do the same thing again next week, but hopefully Gary (our teacher) will have fixed the technology, so that they can see us too!
So.. I think that was it, we've actually done quite a lot! And you Italians, It's almost time for you to clean your rooms, because we are coming soon! :)
Have a nice day! // Sofia
Very first post, exciting!
Bonjourno! Hello! Tjenare Mannen! ;)
You have come to Sofia's and Erika's blog, about our school project "Commenius IPSSAR Beltrame and Stockholm and Restaurant School". This is were we will express ourselves about this big and exciting project! About the preparation before our trip to Italy, while we are in Italy and after we've been there. Probably we'll still be bloging next year, when the Italians will come here!
Maybe you don't understand anything about this right now, but we will sooner tell everything about this project and about ourselves, so stay tuned and you'll see!
The design isn't fixed jet, but it will be, sooner or later.
Hope you'll like it :)
Greetings from Sweden and Sofia and Erika!
