The main languages spoken here are Italian and English. Because of tourism, some other languages spoken in Florence include German, French, and Spanish.
The euro is the official currency of Italy and the European Union. It is stronger than the U.S. dollar, which is partly due to the dollar weakening over the past five years from factors such as trade policy uncertainty, tariffs, and aggressive Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
A bottle of water usually costs 1,50 euro, which is around $1.79 USD.
We had a welcome dinner for my school, and my school provided a buffet of traditional Italian food. It was so yummy! I are ravioli, eggplant pasta, three different types of sandwiches (a veggie, a ham and cheese, and a pesto with cheese, prosciutto and arugala), salami and parmesan, a chicken wrap, bread, and more. As a bonus, it was a free meal!
"Castle on the Hill" by Ed Sheeran has been the song of the week for my friend, Allison, and me. I can't remember who or why we first started singing the song, but now we will burst into that song randomly while walking the streets of Florence.
