We went to IIM B, the first
We were supposed to have lunch there, but…there was no lunch! XIME and IIMB had a little misunderstanding, so we had to come back at our hostel and we could eat only at 2.45. We were just a bit nervous because of the full schedule, and on the bus we had a discussion about this journey and about what can be improved for the next Summer School.
Then…it’s time for the Cultural Show!
After lunch we had to practice a bit for the Italian Show (and it never seemed enough!!). We started singing songs all together and after the dance group practiced with the Indian dancers. All of us were really excited for the Show that started at 6 o’clock. The performance begun with our national song “Inno di Mameli” : it was a moment of great emotion!
Suddenly our great showman Andrea made all the audience burn out introducing the dance group that performed an Italian traditional dance, called “Tammurriata”.
Italians and Indians girls were wearing long skirts and shirts, OK those are not the traditional dresses but we didn’t bring them with us in 
Then the dancers could have a break; it was the moment of a presentation of our Country that included history, food, art and all the great things that
Now it’s “Bhangra” time! Some of us tried to perform this energetic Punjabi dance, with typical Indian dresses and turbans! We hope we didn’t look ridiculous!
The show continued with another Italian song, “Bella ciao” a partisan song written during Italian Resistance against fascism. We got a good appreciation from our Indian friends!
The show ended with a video presenting our university Bicocca, and prof. Corno made a touching speech concluding the great experience of India Summer School 2009.
At the end of the day we had a gala dinner with the President Philip and the professors of XIME.
Now we are sorry to leave, but it’s our last night at XIME and we want to pary all night long!
Stefania e Chiara
