There is a little unwritten rule at home amongst my friends which is that alcohol is never ever ever to be wasted under any circumstances so as I held the bottle over the sink I hesitated a bit. I am officially a sinner in the eyes of Nova Scotia alcohol appreciators as I have actually poured a bottle of wine down the sink. I hope that all of you will forgive me and know that I would not share that wine with my worst enemy ha ha ha.
I was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia but now due to my charitable work and recent marriage I also think of South Africa as home. In July 2010 I left Thembalethu, South Africa, returned home to Canada and then to Rome. I am here to study a Masters in Human Development and Food Security, a program that works to end chronic hunger. Life in Rome is certainly a big change from the world I knew in South Africa surrounded by shacks and Xhosa culture. This will be a year to remember.

I broke one of the Nova Scotia commandments today....
I find the wine aisle in the grocery store amazing, for 2.5 Euro I can buy a very tasty wine that rivals the $10 bottles at home. That said however I took my obsession with "getting a deal" too far a few days ago when I purchased a 1 Euro bottle known as Fontana di Papa. I am not entirely sure what it is that Papa puts into this supposed fountain of wine but let me say that I am pretty sure there was ethanol or something else non-desirable.
