Does that look like me?

                                          
I finally gave in.. and by that i mean i found the best tasting burger in the world here in Italy. The House of sizzle is pretty well known in this town for being an American Bar with food that actually tastes american. The first thing you may notice upon arrival are the enormous beer towers which are served with a lit firework on top. If that isnt awesome enough, Monday's special allows you to pay the price of a single burger for a double burger. The best part however is the enormous selection of burgers which cater to most american regional tastes. I highly recommend the Tex Mex burger if you can handle jalapenos but ill let you decide your own fate.

Yesterday i signed up with 2 former Nike FC teammates for the International Calcio(soccer) league to represent one team for Palazzo Rucellai. I believe the league consists of other study abroad programs scattered throughout the city but i do not think it includes any local Italian schools. 

The night life here is out of control. Bars are pretty much the same as america with prices that are too high and crowds that are far too uncomfortable. Clubs are an entirely different experience. If the strobe lights take an intermission you will undoubtedly encounter some other type of visual deterrant like a giant fog cloud. This madness doesnt end until... well i dont really know. At 3 am i saw no indications of the bar closing down or the lights coming on. It just keeps going. 

It looks like a mugshot. and my ears are small.
