German Language // Session 13

Rakabudiswa: 18.08.2018

My next stop was supposed to be Bolzano. However, as I said, everything there was fully booked for weeks, so I decided to go to Trento instead. It was also a good decision because 3 days in Bolzano would have been too long. The hostel in Trento was the most typical youth hostel I have ever been to. Very simple rooms, squeaky beds that were not very comfortable, and at least 6 people in one room. But you survive it. The location of the hostel was great as it was very close to the train station and there was a supermarket right next door. The breakfast for 3 euros was also good, but unfortunately it was only available until 9 am. And normally I would only get up at that time... However, one roommate was a bit strange. He was in his mid-50s and spent the whole day lying on the bed in the same pose. You could have thought he was dead. However, he occasionally sipped from his exorbitant bottle of red wine and enjoyed it. So yes, an older man who lay on the bed all day and slowly got drunk...😅 On the second day, it was even red wine and spirits.

Trento was much quieter and more harmonious at first glance than the south of Italy. But that is how it is. The mentality of the southern and northern Italians is simply different. I also really liked Trento in general because you could get by with German there as it is close to South Tyrol. However, I generally kept my stay in northern Italy more relaxed. I invested more time in eating and less in sightseeing. That's why I only looked at the "most important" or "best" things in each city. In Trento, these were a castle and a museum. The castle was really beautiful and the museum was cool too. However, the museum was also designed for children and there was a floor with self-experiments. On this floor, there was a table with tricky tasks (puzzles) that you could solve. Things like building an object from given parts. I thought that was awesome and I spent more time there than I intended to...👍🏻

On the next day, I had a day trip to Bolzano planned. In Bolzano, I had the feeling that more people spoke German than Italian, so I got along well. I walked around a lot in Bolzano and mainly visited the Ötzi Museum, which was really worth it. I learned a lot about the time the iceman came from and was amazed at how educated those people were back then. I also invested a lot of time in eating, of course. The next day in Trento was reserved for reading, taking care of study materials, and leaving for Venice. So not much happened there.

So this stay in northern Italy was really nice and relaxing. This was of course because I approached the whole thing differently. This is how I will do it in future cities as well, so that it is not so physically exhausting.
