 I'm going to Rome, Italy today so we are in sight of the Colosseum so aesthetically pleasing like the place and itself is beautiful but like the food is so cool now we're on an activity with the EF school but right in front of me is the beautiful Spanish steps hey guys happy saturday we are on our way to the airport because he is dropping me off that literally doesn't feel real at all i'm going to Rome Italy today we're actually gonna stop at the varsity because i want to take a picture with like my passport and all my suitcase and stuff like that and i heard there was a really good view of like the city over there at least i hope so um so we're gonna stop there and take a picture before we go to the international airport also ryan got a haircut he buzzed off all his hair and funny story i tried cutting his hair because i cut it like um another time and he actually liked it so i was like okay let's cut it again like i can do it and then my personal barber yeah and then i messed it up and she was supposed to cut like a two-hour to the middle and she went all the way up with it yeah and i was like i don't like that bad so i you know wore the haircut she gave me like two days yeah and i was like i can't do it it's too bad yeah so we had to buzz it but it should grow up fast because his hair grows really really fast if we ever have kids our kids are going to be so hairy like i'm indian got that indian hair jean my hair grows crazy i'm low key really scared to travel alone this bar like i've traveled to like california and like you know places inside the states but never to like a different country alone and i don't know it's just a really long flight without any parental supervision i guess i did pack snacks i got popcorn apples granola bars and all that stuff and i think they do give you like a meal on the plane if i'm not mistaken i also downloaded a lot of shows on netflix i downloaded jane the version season four is on netflix and i've been binge watching it i'm like halfway in right now so i just have like seven more episodes to watch but ron has actually been watching it with me and he says he like actually likes it last night we were in episode eight she fell asleep so i saw him i don't know what you don't know damn yeah but we won't give any spoilers but it's a really really good show like drama packed af so it's like over dramatic it's like funny yeah yeah true we have arrived at the varsity the varsity turned out so cute thanks to ryan for taking them you're gonna miss you more so i just got to the host family's house really super sweet we just had lunch and we had like pasta we're eating pizza tonight i'm definitely gonna be eating a lot of carbs this trip you know when you're in Rome gotta eat like the romans do it's currently 2 p.m and they're gonna show me around at like 6 p.m ish so i don't know they said i could like sleep right now but i don't really want to because i'm not trying to like let the jet lag hit me like i really want to like overcome it so i don't want to like sleep this whole trip away but i probably will take a little nap just because it is my first day but i feel like i slept a good amount on the plane also their place is so so nice like my room is actually really really big and their bathroom is super pretty like i'll show you around let's go so don't mind my mess that i already made but this is the room that i'm staying in i have my little bed over there and it has like all the storage which is really cute and yeah hey guys i just got ready just did my makeup just did my hair it feels so nice to not feel shitty you know because like when you're traveling you just feel kind of gross i ended up taking a nap i knew i was gonna fall asleep because i was watching youtube it was definitely inevitable but it was also very needed so i'm glad i actually went to sleep so i realized i didn't even tell you guys why i'm in Rome it's like super loud i'm here with ef language centers and basically i'm on this two week trip to Rome and i'm gonna be learning Italian and all about the culture so that is why i'm here and my first day of class this tomorrow actually it's like orientation so technically not really my first day of class but um yeah i don't really know what to expect like i would have been in contact with the ef people and they've been telling me like you know what to kind of expect but it's kind of like sorority or crema you don't understand until you like go through it yourself so for my vlogs that is kind of my main goal is just to like show you guys what this program is about and how my experience is if you guys are interested in doing like one of these trips like a two week trip or like study abroad or like a gap year or anything like that you can get 10% off of any program with um my code senali in Rome or just mention my name senali and yeah so that's pretty cool the link will be in the description box below if you guys want to check it out so i'm with my host family right now we're gonna go get dinner where are we going you just save it in 30 a.m and i just like didn't want to go alone the first day so ala saundra actually at school and she had to leave earlier than me but i was like you know what let me just like leave with you because her school and my school are actually like close together so we'll probably get off about like the same stomp or something like that i was just kind of nervous to do it on my own because yesterday i was just so distracted with like seeing everything for the first time i kind of forgot to like actually like look around and make sure i was prepared for today i think they only open at 8 30 so i think i'm gonna have to wait to open those doors but look at the skew right outside the school it's crazy one emperor won no one wants that the future person reminds something that the woman emperor lost okay so this is of Marco Aurelio it's one of the imperatory but the most famous is traiano hey guys good morning it's may 23 curling my hair but i didn't end the vlog yesterday because when i got home i was so tired i had dinner then it worked on my computer for a little bit and then went straight to sleep jet lag definitely hit me yesterday i went to get a tim card with one of the girls in my group and i was like literally like falling asleep in my chair waiting for her so hopefully today will be better um jet lag wise because like i went to like 10 but then every night i keep getting up around like 2am and then literally can't fall back asleep until like three or four which sucks like i'll have my eyes closed and like we'll actually go into deep sleep until like two hours later which i don't know it's like the worst thing but yesterday we walked around a lot so that's probably all the b-roll you saw yesterday and we saw the pantheon which i think that's how you pronounce it um and it was really cool because it has like a hole in the top of the ceiling and it kind of like lets light in and it shines the light on a specific like part of the inside if that makes sense it's kind of hard to explain i also had my first lesson yesterday and i'm not gonna lie it was really hard because they kind of teach it like a college class i remember in spanish in college she wouldn't speak english she would just like speak spanish when she was teaching spanish and that's how they kind of teach it here so it's kind of hard for me but since i did take spanish for like four years and high school and two years in college um the languages are a little bit similar so i can kind of pick up on some things especially like when they're going slow which is nice most of the time i'm kind of lost but yesterday we learned like numbers nationalities um what else about the verb to be and to have which is like probably the first verb so we've we learned in like spanish today four classes back to back but i do get out a little bit earlier and then hopefully i'm gonna do some sightseeing and after that at six thirty we have like the welcome drink which i'm excited about to meet more people so that should be fun i'm also really surprised that i got home and got off on the right um bus stop because i was like really worried the transportation here is a little bit weird to me it doesn't announce like the next stop it doesn't have anything like when you're sitting in the butt um train that tells you like what the next stop is so like you really have to like be aware and like kind of like look outside and like know where you are which sucks for me because i've only been here for like a day but if you do come here well my recommendation is if someone showed you around definitely take pictures of this roundings and the bus stop name because then you can just get off and like check where you are i think today i'm going to leave a little bit later because yesterday um i thought they're at eight thirty or like even earlier than that and the school wasn't even open and classes only started at nine so i think i'm going to start getting on the bus at eight ten because i'm not really sure how long the bus takes in the mornings um so i might even get there earlier today too hi i'm taylor i'm from america i'm sarah and we are at this panini shop and it was like six euros for both a panini and a juice so we just got out of class and we're going to the bus stop yeah we're gonna go to the coliseum we're getting on the bus so it's good luck to us so unfortunately the buses we're all late so we waited there for a while we're just gonna walk now though we are on a vuna passeggiata oh oh yeah so we are in sight of the coliseum right there so yeah this is so pretty this is i'm not really sure okay yeah a picture on one of these walls because i saw it on pinterest and we're gonna find this ball all the vloggers take pictures on it so we're gonna try to find it let's go look at this water fountain oh my god i just stepped in the puddle but this is probably the coolest water fountain i've ever seen this is it this is so cool so we just pinterest did some ins smell and we're gonna take a picture right here we even influenced some other people yeah more three days or something so this is so aesthetically pleasing like the place and itself is beautiful but like the food is so cool uh it's fries with avocado and chicken i think i bought black rice with strawberries and cod balls i don't know why to say that and she ought to know the end it looks so good we're on a street with oh koochie yes oh i thought we passed koochie strada so shay ganna yeah so we're at the street and we just passed all the really nice stores but right in front of me is the beautiful spanish steps we are here almost but very pretty view already but the spanish steps this is honestly so beautiful and the sun setting so perfect time all the lights are coming on over there it's a really cool view very high up so it started raining so we had to take cover in this like rooftop bar which was really nice but we are gonna yeah we got kicked out but we um are gonna go home and i'm gonna take the metro for the first time because i've been taking the tram tram the whole time tram the tram um and yeah so i'm gonna figure out the metro thing and the bus situation here we go good morning guys it is may 30th and it is my fourth day in rome italy but my third day of the ef international language program and today i have a full schedule of classes and then i actually have my first ever activity so basically like the school plans um activities throughout the day there's like maximum to a day i think and you can just sign up for them some of them you have to pay extra for and some of them are free like just like sightseeing stuff so the one i'm doing today is free i'm not really 100% sure what it's called so guess you'll just have to wait to see in the vlog but i know it's like a church so we have to cover our legs cover our arms and so i'm wearing this red like scarf and i i knew i would have to cover my arms so shout out to my mom she like let me borrow this but i'm also wearing another jumpsuit so i could cover my legs without it being too tight like jeans or something like i brought jeans but i really thought it was going to be a lot cooler than it is it's really hot gets really hot during the day and especially if you're walking everywhere which we do um it gets hot so hopefully from now on maybe i'll wear shorts and skirts and stuff like that it's just these jumpers are so comfortable like obviously and you don't have to like think about getting a top or anything like that like it's all one whole outfit so that's really nice but i'm actually gonna straighten my hair for the first day of this trip last night i came home and got straight into the shower i came home like the latest maybe like 10 30 or something like that but that's pretty late because like usually i go to bed at that time and i actually like stayed up like editing and doing work um until like 1 a.m but honestly i'm kind of like thankful i did that because i didn't wake up at all during the night and that's like the worst thing like that could ever happen because like it's so hard for me to go back to sleep so i'm really happy that didn't happen because i was worried that was going to happen like every day of this trip and i was like i can't do this we're back at the call team guys school ended at like what time was it like 3 20 3 20 and now we're on an activity with the e of school and we're going to tour a church and this silica yes this silica so we're like literally where we were yesterday we're going to take the metro to the basilica so i think it's like an hour walk so yeah when i do that jf four basilica all over wome one is san pietro e paolo and the other three are san paolo fuori lemura fuori lemura means outside of the wall and then we have santa maria maggiore and san giovanni lateral actually inside these four churches the italian army italian government has no position has no power it's vertical state okay now we are in italy inside no more the most simple one it was like so intricate so it's really really pretty
