Roman Holiday

I'm off to Italy tomorrow or, more accurately, 9 hours. I'll be in Milan quite soon. I've just got to finish packing...

I met with Manuel, my language tandem partner, and we walked around the erste Bezirk looking for a place to sit in the sun but there were too many tourists. He finally realized that my first name is Zack and my last name is Davis. He'd been calling me Davis the whole time, which I thought was normal in Austria - to use someone's last name. Apparently, it's not normal at all. It's actually viewed as less personal and, judging by the way Manuel acted, a little rude. I thought that was a bit different since it's not really like that in the US.

So now I must pack. Then to Italy. If only Audrey was going to be there...
