I spend the month in a hospital called Spedali Civili di Brescia and I was placed in the department of surgery, orthopaedics and traumatology.

I received the Card of Acceptance a little bit late, but it didn't really bother me that much. I travelled the month of June and August, so I didn't really buy tickets from Finland to Bologna.

The plane from Brussels to Turin was late and it was almost midnight when I finally arrived to Turin airport from where my contact person took me to the residence. Plane tickets cost 315€ plus 11€ for the bus ticket.
