Aggies vs. Longhorns? Italians Know!

Today the American School held another event for newcomers. This one was a workshop about the Italian culture. We talked about beliefs, values, communication, and the way different cultures react to different things. It was pretty interesting.

There was a lady there from Austin. She said that she had been told that a certain hand symbol should not be used in Italy. The symbol is one commonly used by people who are fans of that inferior school in Austin. She made the longhorn symbol and was quickly told by the Italians that were there that she should never make that symbol while she was in Italy.

We all asked why the longhorn symbol was unacceptable over here, and were told that to them it meant a man who had horns because he was having an affair!

We asked if the thumbs up Gig 'Em, Aggies sign was okay to make, and were assured it was fine.

So it looks like as far as Italy is concerned, Aggies rule!
