      Turin

      27 juli 2022, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Visite toute la journée de la ville de Turin.

      Comme il s'agit de notre première destination en Italie, 2 choses nous interpellent :
      - Les Italiens sont fidèles à leur réputation et ont vraiment l'air de conduire comme des fous 🚗🏎️ (et ça s'est effectivement confirmé pendant toute la traversée du pays)
      - Ils ont presque tous des FIAT... C'était surtout spécifique à cette ville, on ne savait pas la signification : Fabrique Industrielle Automobile Turin

      On est arrivés au soir 🌃pour commencer la visiter tôt le lendemain matin🌇, avant qu'il ne fasse trop chaud. Notre spot pour la nuit était situé en hauteur, très en hauteur🎢. Tout un quartier résidentiel de la ville est très en pente, on ne s'y attendait pas : était tranquilles dans un grand boulevard, on prend à droite, et d'un coup, c'est des petite routes étroites, sinueuses, pentues et fréquentées !

      La visite de la ville s'est très bien passée, comme à notre habitude, on passe par l'office de tourisme ℹ️🏣 pour choper une carte 🗺️ et demander s'ils ont un itinéraire recommandé. On a vu de tout, des monuments, des églises, des grands jardins (un peu trop grand d'ailleurs, on ne retrouvait pas la sortie 👉👈❓). Bien que, de premier abord, la ville nous paraissait un peu triste, les bâtiments autour de la ville pas super bien entretenus, idem pour les résidences. Au final, c'est plus le style Italien qui change des autres pays que nous avons pu visiter, et nous avons beaucoup aimé cette ville.

      Petite info concernant Flo : elle vient de découvrir son futur métier et souhaite devenir vendeuse dans un Lego Store 🧱🏪🏗️(et ça se comprend). Le magasin de Turin était bien stylé, on a dû y rester 30 minutes! En effet, on pouvait prendre n'importe quelle boite du magasin, et se placer devant un écran pour faire apparaître, en réalité augmenté, une animation du contenu de la boite (parfois le montage, parfois une mise en scène,...). Le seul bug qu'on a eu, c'était sur un baby Yoda (on était à "ça" de l'acheter, mais ça nous a coupé l'envie. Pourtant une figurine de 50cm x 30cm x 30cm ça passe easy dans le van, non ?)

      Niveau nourriture, on commence avec un petit-déjeuner de champion dans un café très atypique et super bon, on y commande une spécialité du coin, le Bicerin, un mélange de café, crème fouettée et chocolat🍫, servit dans un verre sur pied🍷. À 12h pile⏲️, on fait l'ouverture d'un restaurant typique de la ville (il semble souvent y avoir de l'attente, parfois même dès l'ouverture) et on commande notre premier plat local, en italien, avec un primi et un segundi. Donc, un plat de pâtes, un de gnocchis, un de saucisses et une salade. C'était copieux et assez bon, surtout pour le prix.      Läs mer

      Arrivo a Torino

      13 maj, Italien ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Reached Turin. Took a cab to the B&B I booked. It's called Gianduja B&B. Really nice. Super friendly host .. older single lady lives alone and makes money doing B&Bs ... She was an architect before .. now just does that. All this I leanred in next few days. Also Gianduja (g=j, j=y) is like a mascot of the Piedmont region (where Turin is, North East Italy) apparently .. he's a cartoon character .. chocolate maker or something. Famous in this area.

      Took a nap. Set up my new 360 camera and left to get food etc. the camera took a gorgeous timelapse of the mountain. Later the owner lady told me that its just a basic hill .. the great Alps is on the other side of the house - can be seen only from her kitchen balcony. Took me there to show - couldn't see much because of the cloud but got an impression of its big-ness compared to the tiny hill I videod.

      Ate at some gyro place (Kebaps and Pizza? Or something like that) ... Got a stamp/punch card. Maybe I will come again during the trip. Watched TV a little. It was a variety show like Kapil Sharma show. Looked fun and simple. Tried to use the closed captions feature and got some error messages on TV saying "check page 796" or something. Gave up. Slept off. Only to get up at 3 pm next day.

      Missed breakfast .. host lady got worried. Told her don't wait up ... I don't eat much breakfast .. even if I look fat 😂.

      And that Amazon jetlag pill didn't work. For me.

      By the way the "older" host lady might even be my age. I need to update the way I look at people, especially their age.      Läs mer

      Turin's Valintine Park

      7 juli 2022, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      On our last full day in Italy, we took a walk to Turin' s Parco del Valentino. It was a little far from us so we hadn't done it before today, but it was pretty.

      We got to see Turin's river walk as well along the Po river. When we entered the park, we were also greeted by a baby rabbit. Also of note was a cute sculpture of two lamp posts cuddling on a park bench. Lastly, the park had a replica of medieval Turin as a free open air museum, called Borgo Medievale.Läs mer

      Ankunft

      2 september 2023, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      Bin gut angekommen und wurde sogar am Flughafen abgeholt (ich hatte zwar das zwar beim Online-Check-in angegeben, aber da es keine Bestätigung gab, wusste ich nicht, ob jemand kommt). Unterwegs habe ich einige schöne Blicke auf die Alpen gehabt. Auf den Fotos kommt es leider nicht so gut raus.Läs mer

      Turin’s food!

      11 oktober 2023, Italien ⋅ 🌙 17 °C

      Walking into Turin from the train station enroute to our sobe, we stumbled upon a farmers market! I’m sure we were the only Tourists! This is my favorite thing and it gave me a great immersion into culture, people, and shopping for more than veggies: they had many clothes, shoes, household goods like sheets and blankets, Italian leather everything, some used clothes.

      The mushrooms were amazing and you can know they were locally harvested in a forest. We bought way too many of the best cashews, figs, prunes, walnuts. There were many grandmas pushing fancy carriages with infants and there was a lot of talking! No English.

      Venice train station was human at 6:30 am and our 30 minute walk was a great way to get started. ( it was yet another 18,509 step day) The train has a coffee car which I visited and it was the worst coffee (2 euros ) I’ve had but I did get it in the only paper cup I’ve used. They do serve on the train with regular cups. And I hardly ever see a paper cup. Aside from many plastic water bottles, everyone serves in ceramic.

      Later in Turin we came upon an indoor market. I love the big size squash that if you want a piece of it, just cut a piece off and then cover back with a piece of plastic. Check out the unbelievable cheese lady and I wanted some of those raviolis.

      And we are getting in the rhythm of “La Vita Lenta”!      Läs mer

      Desi connection!

      16 maj, Italien ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      After the long day in rain with 38 kids, train rides where we didn't know which train to take which stop to get down at ... Making sure one over-excited kid doesn't do anything stupid or get lost etc... decided to go eat my kebap sandwich and maybe a beer from outside before the next round of pouring rain starts again!

      Ordered a chicken panini and got my 3rd stamp from the shop (10th sandwich is free, .. maybe the 11th one). It's cheap, fresh and something that's non-italian. More like Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food ... Gyros type. I am tired already of eating things I have never seen or tasted before. I had veal with salmon and anchovy paste. It tasted good, but not like anything I tasted before!

      Placed order for a chicken panini today... while waiting decided to walk to a tabacchi (? tobacco store ... basically a convenience store) and pick up beer. Owner was Bangladeshi - I was only 55% certain but decided to mumble in bangla "Card cholbe?" ("do you take credit cards?") His face lit up and said aapni (you're) bangali?

      Told him I'm a teacher and visiting the politechnic to teach a class. His first reaction was ' campus ta ki sundor na?' ("isn't this a pretty campus?").

      I thought it's kinda cute. He lives here, I don't. But his first reaction was to assume that being a desi I am sure to be impressed by the "beauty" of the campus. Vigorously agreed and left.

       Managed to be back with my dinner just before it started pouring again.      Läs mer

      Program starts tomorrow!

      14 maj, Italien ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Got up late today .. 3pm ... raining outside .. didn't do anything. Got a gyro again (got second stamp). I tend to lean towards safe choices when I get to decide my food options, fyi.

      Wasted the whole day .. should have been roaming around sight seeing.

      Or maybe not. I need to slow down. Kichhu paliye jachhe na. Dont need to rush all the time. Don't know why I do that. I might even come back next year for the same thing to Turin. It's ok. To not be rushed.

      Class start tomorrow. I think first day will be orientation with students. I have 24 for my class. Other class had 14. With 2 professor and staff member, Andrea (she has been doing this every summer for a while), it's 41 of us. I need to prepare a little for my class.

      But if it's just orientation, I should be ok, na? Just chill Arka!

      I also told the Math dept faculty that I will meet with them separately. The idea was to make friends in the politechnic, so it might help with my research activities too. Separate from this teaching program. I was very proud to think of that.

      I need to prepare that too .. they want me to give a talk explaining my work etc. Shit! But chill... Breathe.

      And it's raining outside. I hate rains. Makes me sad. Slept off early so I can get up early for breakfast (so Gabriella, the host , is happy) and meet students for orientation at 9 am! I haven't woken up at a normal time so far. 🤞

      Oh, I found a bike shop .. got my bike ready to ride. Inflated tires a little with my small pump to ride. Found a bike shop that Inflate tired nicely later. The guy didn't take money for the help with pumping air. So I bought a nice cute red bell for €3. And gave him my my other new bell that I got but didn't like. His name is Georgio. Chill young guy with a cool pointy mustache. Hipster types.

      Also had dinner with the 3 leaders. Me, Matt (Prof for other course), Andrea and Aa local faculty member who helps this program, Stefania Specchia. Ate dinner at Capannina. Fancy place. The dishes were amazing. But that I mean the shape of the plates mainly. Very unique styles of pottery. Good was good too. Stefania had raw meat dish .. that I tasted 😳. Like raw fish in sushi .. but beefs etc. Was ok. She also told me to go to St Maritz. It's in Swiss border and the train ride through Alps is very scenic. Will try going there this weekend from Milan. Tentatively that's the plan for weekend.

      Didn't plan anything for the weekend. No booking etc and no clear idea where to go or maybe not go anywhere. But that's least of my worries. Just prep for class today!      Läs mer

      First day of the program

      15 maj, Italien ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

      Got up late! 9:15 am. Supposed to meet the group at 9. Rushed to change and got bike to rush at the meeting point. Gabriela said just walk - it's faster. So I ran sorta. Managed to be there barely on time.. kinda .. some other people were late too. So... Phew!

      Whole day was orientation. They talked about their institute, Turin as a city, Piedmont as a region, and this program. It was good, since this is my first time here.

      There was a guy from International office here who had a talk about hand gestures in Italy. How the Italians would use their hands to express feelings a lot. And how it can be confusing. So he told us some of the common geatures and which ones are ok, which ones are vulger etc

      Then had a grand lunch at a restaurant with the whole group. 41 of us! It was a mess. . waiters didn't speak English, we barely had Italian speakers with us. 39 of us are 20 year old kids. But went well. Ate some stuff that I didn't know existed.

      Other faculty member , Matt, and Andrea went to see some exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci's self portrait. Apparently it is a big deal. Since it is shown for a couple of weeks under some special light (so the paintings don't go bad) once in a few years.. going on now. Everyone suggested I should go. I didn't. Not today at least.

      Came home and prepared class and slept off early hoping I can get up on time for my class at 930am next day      Läs mer

      1st day class and trip to a grand palace

      16 maj, Italien ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Got up on time!

      Showed up at 9:15am to meet with 24 students outside of the classroom building to go to class at 930. Saved wore nicer clothes 😜

      Italy has a lot of old fashioned bureaucracy like India. To get to the building I need a card (students can't get in) and to get to a classroom, I need keys. Which I have to check out every day, but sighing a book and return and all that.

      All students were there, except 1. Told the other leaders about it, started class, got message that his alarm didn't work - so he's late - went out to get him in the middle of the class.

      But the class went well. Students were good. Covered everything I wanted to cover. Their exam is next week - so I had to cover those topics. So it was a success.

      Got to know that there is some day trip planned right after class. So grabbed a little to eat and went to train station. Spent the rest of the day with students exploring an old fancy palace .. used by the Savoy family (big deal in Italy history... Kind of like the last king family until WWII) .. it was their palace to chill out and have fun on weekends. Its called La Vaneria Reale ( means something like royal hinting palace .. where they will come for entertainment, hunting, "fun" stuff 😀)

      Took a lot of 360 videos with my camera. Some of the students were curious to see the video. So when I came back, I spent about 4 hours editing those and made a 9 minute long video.

      Asked myself why. Answered: why not .. I enjoy learning how to edit 360 videos, that's new to me. So I did it. Until 4am. Ate some of the breakfast that Gabriella set up the night before.

      Can't post the whole video here, but here's the link.

      Ended the day with gelatos for everyone in the group. I got a mango+pistachio 2 scoop gelato. Mango was amazing. Pistachio had a burnt flavor that was new to me. Was disturbed but a map of India on. the wall of the gelato shop.

      Came home. Real tired. Raining outside. Should get a kebap sandwich.      Läs mer

      Piadineria

      2 september 2023, Italien ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      Ich weiß jetzt, was eine Piadineria ist. Die gibt es nämlich schräg gegenüber von meinem Hotel. Ich hatte einen Angusbeef-Burger bestellt und mich gewundert, dass er etwas anders aussah, als man Burger so kennt. Aber eine Piadineria ist ein Fladenbrot-Restaurant. Also falls ihr mal nach Italien kommt, wisst ihr jetzt Bescheid.Läs mer
