Nicole invited me to an All American Breakfast Party her neighbors were having. She lives above an American family who has lived in Milan for 5 years. The parents are journalists who have lived all over the world for their jobs. One of their sons goes to school in Manchester and the other goes to school in Milan, but he is still in high school. I met of bunch of his/ Nicole’s friends who also go the International School of Milan. These kids have lived all over the world, literally. I enjoyed learning about their heritages and their lives so much; they were all so unique. For example, one girl’s father is Italian and her mother is Chinese, they have lived in Africa, America, and Italy. Another girl’s dad is American and her mother is Australian and he has lived in Italy, America, and Australia. Every person I met that night had a different and diverse story, and they were all fluent in about ten languages. It is strange that these people were still in high school because they seemed so much older. It is true that age is truly just a number. I am pretty sure these individuals have had more life experiences than the typical 60 year old American. For dinner/breakfast we made pancakes, chocolate chip banana muffins, bacon, eggs, and mimosas. I didn’t realize how much I missed greasy, fattening, and delicious American breakfast foods! After dinner we went out to get gelato followed by bar hopping in downtown Milan. Truly a great night!
