Home:
Maria and I was living at Salvatore´s house. His house had three floores, the first floor is
Salvatores and his mothers flat and on the second floor is Salvatore´s sister´s family. Maria
and I sleept on the third floor. In our little flat were it one bathrum, two room´s with two beds
in each room and an office.

The family was very nice but they didn´t speak any English so Salvatore had to translate
everything. When we were eating with Salvatore´s sister who lives on the second floor, it was
first pasta and then meat with sallad and then fruit and the last was coffee. This dinner took 34 hours.
Salvatore have a very big family; he had a mother, father and six sisters and the sisters have
their families with husbands and children.
I met every one i think but i didnt get pictures of them becouse i didn´t know where we were
going until we were there, so i couldn´t bring the camera.
When I was in Italy one of Salvatore´s sister´s husband had a birthday so they planned to have
a party for him. I was planning to bring the camera there since the whole family was there but
Salvatore said in the afternoon that we were going to another sister to eat so i thought that we
were going back to Salvatore´s home after we had eaten but we went streight to the restaurant
where the party would be. So i didn´t get any pictures.
Salvatore had two aunts in Neaple that we went to. They were really nice but they didn´t
speak any Enlish. And i met some cousins too, no English.

School:
The noise in the class room was very shocking. The teachers couldn´t reach the students and
on the tests they fiddled and the teacher didn´t care.
On the English lessons the teacher only spoke Italian, not English, and the students didn´t
speak in English either. So when we spoke to the kids in Salvatore´s class they understood us
but they couldn´t speak to us. I don´t know about how they paid for the school but I know that
they didn´t get any food, there were automatic machine with candy, drink, sandwich and
pizza.
They didn´t have any school uniformes. They dressed as they wanted.
The studdents were in school from eight to one every day Monday to Suturday.
The school was beautiful but I think there were too few paintings and pictures on the walls.
They didn´t have anything on the walls.
I don´t know what the subjeets were becouse they only spoke Italian.
The teacher talked all the time. It´s very hard to listen to the teacher all the time, I think they
need some thingels to do.
They had some very old computers in a room. But i couldn´t se any TV or any of these things
that we have in Sweden.

Trainee jobb/ visit:
I worked in a daycenter called Coccinella.
The houses are very nicely built, much better than the buildings in Sweden. They think a lot
of their hygiene because the staff´s toilett is a hole in the floor, you have to stand and we-we.
They didn´t have so much tecnical help means. They had a TV, nothing else.
The staff was not like in Sweden, in Italy they sit in the old ones lap and they yell at them ect.
They co-operate with each other very well, but not to the Swedish girls. They didn´t try to
make us understand so we didn´t do so much. We tried to ask them what we could do but they
didn´t understand.
They had a rabbit on the workplacement too, so the old people can take care of it and play
with it.

Drugs, smokings and alcohol:
It was much drugs on the streets and very much smoking almost every italian person smoked.
It was much alcohol to, the italian people dont think as the Swedish people do. In italy those
people that have their fourteenth birthday can go to the pub and drink. And they are allowed
to have alcohol in their body when they drive.
Cultorell weft:
I went to Modena with the Swedish girls and my teachers. We went around the city and
looked at buldings mm. After we were allowed to do shopping. Modena were beautiful and
alot of people. It was hard to find stores that was fore young people and diden´t were so
expensiv.
I went to Rom with Salvatore. We were staying at Salvatores sisters Sonjas house. We were
staying fore three days. But we were on more places the first day were we in Neapel and meet
Salvatores aunts and cousins and the day two we went to Rom and looked at beatiful
buildings. The thired day we whent to small village. And then we go back to Reggio Emilia.
Elisabeth, Ann-Britt and Linda on the station Elisabeth, Silvia and two others on the station

Culturell differenses:
The city have different opening and closing times. They open at eight and close at one, and in
the afternoon they open at five and close at nine or teen.
Becouse everyone is going hom at one and eat lunch for tre houers.
They dont have the same roles about drugs and trafic becouse drugs were every were in the
city and the trafic they could drive as they wonted.
The alcohol is different they have an age line on foreteen on the pubs to. And we have
eighteen as age line.
Language:
It was hard becouse now one speakes english. But after one and a half weak we understood a
little italian so it was easyer. But we had a dictionary so we could speak italian so they
understood us.
It was many misunderstandings but it wasn´t a problem.
