Insert something witty or something about Italy here

I am sitting outside my host family's apartment complex waiting for my ride. Another tutor's host family is taking the tutor's out to look at the bigger town near us. This is also the same tutor that called my kids the dream team of dysfunctional and not functional dysfunctional as my brain remembered.

I went into Padua/Padova depending on where you are from. One of the other tutor's host mom's dropped us off. Before she did that she showed us a couple of the Piazza's there. The third one was awesome. It had one of the oldest clocks in the world. We ate in the piazza totally enjoying our evening. Because I'm a nerd, I wanted to check out the university. Oh, and people were making fun of me for that. I didn't get to go but I really want to because you know who taught there? Oh a little known astronomer, scientist, man of science by the name of Galileo. Maybe you heard of him. Now is that nerdy? NO! That is freaking amazing! Oh and apparently the city is also the main setting for the Taming of the Shrew. And this church that I saw that I thought was pretty average was built after a design created by Michaelangelo....pfh....don't worry, I have the church in the background of some pictures I am in.

I also forgot to mention that all families are really the same. During the birthday party for my host mother, I met both sides of the family. They of course asked me my age and then if I had a boyfriend, married, what kind of men I liked, etc. Also, you have th fun aunts, th fun uncles, the people you are just related to, and the favorite grandparents, the people that are dragged there and just want to watch whatever is on, and the little cousins that are just there.

I haven't watched a lot of Italian tv but after the news there is a show called Veline for an hour. The point of the show is to have pretty girls dress as slutty as they can without showing it all, dance and sing and the judges mostly men vote for the hottest. That is at least how I understand the show. I look up the words that are posted on the TV to try and understand more of what is going on but I just keep thinking, they could never have that type of show in The US. Too many people would complain caue it's just scandalous. But as a person that enjoys watching stupid people, I love it. Oh reality trash TV...how I have missed you.
