Today I didn't do much in the morning, but I made plan to go shopping with a Chinese girl from my class Cuiying. We went around Porta Nuova(the main train station) and walked around Via Roma and Via Po (the two streets with lots of shops). I bought a turtle neck from United Color of Benetton. The weather in Torino lately has been around -3 to 6 degree C. Next Wednesday is going to snow again. I don't enjoy the snow anymore because they make it hard to walk. We started around 5pm, and by 7pm all the stores were closing. Everything in Europe closes early and they also take random lunch breaks so it's really a hit or miss with the stores. My favorite store is Zara, a Spanish chain but also very popular in Italy. We have Zara in AMerica, but I have never actually bought anything from there before, this will change when I go home.

Via Po all lid up for the holiday.
