The hotel we stay for the orientation.

The main hall where our orientation took place!

Arrival orientation (17th-18th Dec) -:

This was my fav part! As we arrive at the hotel.
We were divided by 4 groups and be given AFS name tags each!
I was in the 1st group(red) who going to take train to my host family house
for the day after the orientation(18th dec)...

I'm in the 1st gorup with some other Afser friends from MAS.

Here's some explanation about the grouping orders:

Group 1 (Red tag) : Going to travel by train leaving from the hotel at 8.15a.m.
Group 2 (Green tag) : Going travel by bus leaving from the hotel at 1.30p.m.
Group 3 (Yellow tag) : Going travel by plane leaving from the hotel late in the evening? (depend on your hosted state)
Group 4 (Blue tag) : Will be pick by their own host family at the hotel.

The volunteers who was volunteering us at the camp! Love u guyz!

We were brief by the AFS intercultura volunteer at the hotel...
and also learned some of the basic Italian words/body language with them!
We enjoyed our 1st real Italian food at the hotel!
And experience our 1st snowing weather in ROM! Fantastico! Dream come true eh... Photos up next!
Lastly the most important things!
We can rest/sleep/eat as long as we wanted until we depart to our host family!
I met 2 friends from South Africa too! (White people of coz)
The next day, we were split/leaving from each others on that day (18th dec) and went to our own host family!
This where the real journey began! I encounter a lot of troubles in the train...
as I and one of the volunteer accompany some of us! But finally! We safety arrived to our own host family!
My travel time from Rom-Alessandria : 9hours++ (It was a bumpy ride in the train and yet crowded with people)
