So after my my first year of law school and not finding a job that i wanted to pursue, if decided to go to Florence for a study abroad program. the school's program is from may 18th to june 13th but ill be "over there" till july 1st. If anyone knows of any nontourist bs that is worth checking out, please do tell. I am flying into paris but other then that really dont have much else planned yet.

Re: Florence, Italy
its a beautiful city, there is a lot of non tourist stuff to do. i only checked out one museum and Michelangelo's David for a day, the rest of the time just walked around and enjoyed the scenery and the little flea market they had.
Re: Florence, Italy
Lrn your coming to my neck of the woods!!

theres loads of non tourist bs to do. just hook up with some locals (esp the ladies). they all want to speak english so u will be well away!

especially the italian ones!! too much passion or latin blood or something!! means they can be stroppy tightly crossed legged bints (remember they have to fend of the italian staliion). but hey who doesnt like a challenge! its all in the game play!!!
either way, hit me up when your here. there is much drinking and partying to be done!

HEY IM GOIN TO FAWKING ITALY YOU FAWKIN PRICK
fortunately/unfortunately im going to the program with my girlfriend, so i dont have to try and slay any harlets there.
Hey dhar, we probably gonna head down to venice one weekend, although probably packed with american cunts im sure, its a must see/experience.. I really do despise tourist bs so i might have to ask you dahr where some good local place to eat and chill are in venice and also if there is gonna be any decent house music there.
Re: Florence, Italy
Florence is a busy city, packed with tourist, scooters and smog. Grab a bus and go to San Gimignano. Ive been to many places in the world, but this small hilltop town will forever be my favorite destination. Be sure to grab a bottle of some good Tuscan Chianti. Damn, Im jealous just thinking about it.

Re: Florence, Italy
Florence is my favourite European city ... been there 12 times !
Tenax run club nights ... the foods amazing if you're a meat eater: PM me if you want some recommendations.
Re: Florence, Italy
defiantly going there there to experience the food, i love cooking and eating and i feel in america im not eating real italian food. the gf is a vegitarian and claims she'll eat seafood but wont eat meat.. simon r give me the recommendations when you get a chance, ill be in the city for a month so i hope to get a full spectrum of what the locals like to eat.

thanks for the idea, not its cool that would be weird, its wierd though asking people about place in the internet for me... my girl jsut remembered she is part of couch surfing a community online that lets people sleep at there house allover the world... contacting a guy that lives 20 yards from the efflel tower in paris, the sites gonna cut traveling expenses down so much

u've lost me.
u wanna sort yourself out? or u want a hand?
i've got mates who are part of the whole couch surfing lark. great way to save cash.
Re: Florence, Italy
try the wineries in the region. there's more than just chanti to the region. banfi's was my fave when i went, but only because it has alma mater ties. food-i know this sounds cheesy, but read some travel guides. rick steve really has good taste, albeit expensive taste. and for bang for buck places that's also yummy, the kids who write let's go never disappointed. there's way too many places with ristorante or such written on them with huge signs and you can really waste a whole lot of time with mediocre food if you aren't careful. of course, you have to try the gelato. there was a gelateria right off the piazza where the duomo is that is really good. and yes, there's way too much touristy stuff, but you should totally take advantage of all the renaisaance art that's in the city. not just the david and the uffici, but all the landmark churches and piazzas. and walking up to the top of the duomo was worth it just for the view. and shopping. this one is probably for your girlfriend. designer shopping as well as trying your luck at the markets. nightlife is pretty healthy there in case you wanted to know. i only knew of the bar nightlife though when i was there.
