Code Camp: Day #6

Tommaso, Me & Gianluca (from Genova) with our new CodeCamp t-shirts

As you can see from the upper picture, we all received the CodeCamp t-shirts and we are now wearing them.
Today was mainly dedicated to seminaries, we had one (split in 3 parts) in the morning, about Speech recognition, while in the afternoon we had one with Claudio Cherubino, the only italian person working for Google in Mountain View, about Google Drive and Google API. It was an interesting seminary, and he gave us a lot of spoilers regarding Google Technologies (sorry I can't talk about them :X ) and he gave us suggestions in case we wanted to apply for a job position in Google.

In the afternoon, while I was talking with Lala about a certain topic on which we both deeply agreed, a group of girls came into our hall. They asked us if we could lend them a small part of our space in order to practice. We, obviously agreed. They are dancers of a local/folkloristical kind of dance, called "Pizzica" (a name that sounds like "Pinch"). They were dressed like gipsies, and out of 5, 3 of them were quite cute. Since we had some time on our hands, we decided to watch their performance a little and introduce to them. They seemed like nice girls, and invited us for tomorrow night to an hotel where they'll exhibit, I talked to Nicholas about it and we plan to go there.

Today we went to have dinner in a near city (Torre San Sabina) to eat fish. We ate pasta with seafood, grilled fish (huge shrimps, cuttlefish, octopus and swordfish) and fried fish (squid, shrimps, octopus and some small fishes). It was tasty but expensive >.< We had as guests two journalists from National Geographic & L'Espresso, that came all the way to the camp to make a reportage about us. I sat next to them and we discussed about their reportages and my past experiences. I've been published on many other journals, but it might be my first time for National Geographic. If everything goes smooth it's gonna be awesome! :)

See y'all soon!
