happening in Italy




In the morning of the 6th October when I was going to Stresa,I saw Alun at the Central Station of Milan.
Alun had arrived at Milan the previous evening to Milan.
We were going toward Stresa together,chatting with delight by train.
He was bringing two small books,titled "Japanese Phrase book" and "Italiuan Phrase book." I woud like to appreciate his will to speak in Japanese,although he knew only one Japanese phrase,"Konnichiwa."
The reason why I have written above as "went towad Stresa,is that we got off at the anterior station to Stresa. It was because Alun had gotten off quickly and we(my husband and I) followed him.
The name of the station is "Arona" where were no passengers.He got across the rails rapidly and found a station staff to ask the way to go to our destination.
But his Italian was a little better than Japanese,that is,almost could not speak at all. The station staff seemed to speak only Italian.
For pretty long time,they were talking something (with what language?).
The number of the station staffs increased to several.
At last,I said "we will go there by taxi." So all felt relieved with my words.
They,all the station staffs,man or women,carried our baggages with them like birds.

Travel to Italy






The early October,from the 4th to 16th October,my husband and I went to the North Italy.
On the 6th and 7th,I attended to Multidisciplinary Conference by EPDA at Stresa,besaide of the Lake Maggiore.
My condition in Italy was good,as usual travelling.
The places we visited were Milan,Stresa and Bergamo.
They are in the North Italy,at the distance of one hour from Milan by train.
Stresa has beautiful scenary and known as high-class resort.
Bergamo is a beautiful and small city and it has both of the old city and the new city.
We stayed in the old one,at the hotel called "Agnello d'Oro."
The meaning is "Golden sheep."
The stone pavement of Bergamo has been lasting since Roman times.
There are many buildings as Duomo, eglise,Palace and Piazza sinceing the medieval times.

The places in Italy are beautiful.That reason is that the people has been sensitive to beauty and seeking to be beautiful,I think.
Also because that they want to be with nature,and love to live naturally by nature.
They love to live like human,so they look unconstrained.
The children of Isola Bella are like a child.
I had never heard the voice of child like their voice and those are really cute.
That lasted for long time.They are talkative like as Italian.
They are as they are.

Still now,the people,elder or younger,must be live as they have been living at the Bar or on the street.
They wiil be so,all-time,I think.
