Traditional Neapolitan Dinner at the Scuottos

Our students were treated like kings at the Scuottos house for dinner


Our accompanying lecturer Veronica Scuotto is from Naples and she and her family welcomed us with open arms to her beautiful family home.

The Scuottos live in the heart of Naples in the "Old Town' in an apartment that Veronica and her brother and sister grew up in.

have a look at the video below to get a true taste of Napoli and...for a wee bit of extra informatuon the music to the video was the music that Veronica's Dad Franco kissed his beautiful wife to be Giulietta to... ahhhhh!!!







Day 3 of the Napoli Boot Camp

Well done team UWS


A wee walk around the glen of the Auld Toon of Naples!

After a hard day in the class room learning about Balance sheets with Prof.Luca Landoli followed by capital planning and depreciation they were happy to get some fresh Napolitan air in their lungs.
so off they went have a look at the video below.









Tomorrow they are going to visit Pastifico Afeltra a company that makes pasta and then onto visit the Almalfi/Ravello coast...watch this space for fabulous pictures



Day 2 on the Napoli Boot Camp


First Test of the boot Camp










So the team arrive at 09:30 sharp to embark upon a lecture of estimating revenues through customer research conducted by Prof. Dr. C Ponsiglione.



Then the morning continues with a lesson on costs analysis and accounting ... no problem I hear you say about our Level 7 Accounting students!!

The students then go for lunch at a local supermarket to get a "wee roll" but hey..... it was so big it would feed an army!!!






So after Lunch there was the on-line test.... easy? well time will tell grades to come out soon...watch this space!!!




Later on in the afternoon the groups worked on their group work projects until 5:30pm.

But wait..... Jennifer has broken her back tooth and did blame a roll for the incident but I think it was too many Mexican lollipops or as we say in Italy "troppi lecca-lecca".


The guilty party?

Ouch


So What next?..... Veronicas Dad saves the day... Veronicas Dad is a dental technician and kindly agreed to see Jennifer and sort her tooth ... I may add at this point Jennifer was not having a good day, not only did she break her tooth but she also broke a nail and couldn't get the on-line test to open until near the end of the test arghhhhh...well they do say that back luck comes in threes!!






Hero of the Hour

Veronicas Dad


Tomorrow is another day...

Tomorrow the group celebrate the end of day three by a walking tour of the old town... pictures and stories to follow
