Hayley catalogs not only her travels, but also lessons in culture shock, Italian food (how can you study in Italy and not blog about the food?), and learning pazienza. She is participating on the USAC Torino program.

Tiffany’s blog: Amman, Jordan
Tiffany is participating on the CIEE Jordan: Arabic Language and Culture program, and sharing her adventures with us at www.the-river-bend.blogspot.com
Wanna know how to not fit in on campus in Amman?
“Backpacks are for losers. On the university campus, the Americans are literally the ONLY students carrying backpacks. The rest of the girls here carry their purses, and maybe a notebook or two. The guys will carry their phones, cigarettes, and a notebook or a book or two. I asked my language partner at the beginning of the semester why no one had them, and she literally said because backpacks are not cool. Only elementary school students carry them here. Despite that, I continue to look like a dweeb every morning carrying my backpack through campus.”
