This week had a very anxious start with the final presentation of our glimpses into Milan and the amazing amount of information presented about our buildings. Through this amazing adventure, we were able to meet the community of Milan firsthand and interact with the city instead of just staring at its wonders. We memorized street names and coffee shops. Smelled the fresh fruits and live atmosphere that kept Milan the amazing destination for those to live and work here. It was a great experience and being able to tell the experience was even more rewarding. I was even asked at the end for more information regarding my story that I told while we walked. The story included actually being able to see a building in the style of a village. It was remarkable to learn how others in Milan live and be astounded by how incredibly similar their living situations were to those in, for instance, New Orleans with the expanded courtyards and the beautiful layout that allowed a person to see those around them when staring up in the courtyard. It was a great experience and retelling it was even better. Being able to hear each of us present this experience to our classmates and retell stories we had constantly practiced was really hard and nerve wracking, but fulfilling.
