July or september. Perugia or bologna :merda:

I have a couple of friends who head there this semister, i think i'll let them go in as the first line of defense and so 6 months later :D

But even if the education is free other things like cost of living will burn a hole in my pockets and my balls. If i decide to take it i might have to start planning now.
Sounds like you'd regret it if you don't go :D

Really? Then I'm sorry, I'd never call anyone a texan if they in fact were not...

I will always love everyone as the patriarch of a cult would

Oh please, don't tell you just compared the weather of the two. England would just be "cliché" and "bollocks".
I did because england is my other option and one that would cost me next to nothing. I wasted my summer vacation two years in a row in brighton. The summers there last 20 days :sergio:

Being the gay capital of the world i have to be very carefull not to get drunk and jump from one pubs to another coz most of them are gay pubs :D spent most of my summer chatting to homeless guys along the beach.

Nzoric, thought I'd reply here to stop that thread going well off topic. The Middle East is obviously extremely fascinating in that respect. Is it the general history of the region or a particular people(s), period of history etc that you are interested in? I'd just say that learning the language and culture from a modern perspective opens a lot of doors.

I'll definitely learn Arabic at some point in time. 1/2 of my friend group speak it.

I'm not a fan of studying general history of an area. I'd rather study them all on their own and then draw a conclusion on my own, if you know what I mean? My main focus lies in the colonization of Northern Africa/The Middle East. My first semester subject was called "Middle East in the 20th Century" where we had a short general course spanning from The Mamluks up to the end of the Ottomans. What really caught my interest was Palestine though. But as I see it, the two years of my masters are far from enough to learn everything I want to know about that part of the world, so my goal of drawing my own conclusion could come at my dissertation perhaps :p
