yippee... went to milan for a short weekend trip.

it is damn tiring lahh. cos we left our hall at 1plus am, taking the coach at 2 plus. din manage to catch a good sleep and we reached milan in the morning.

me, keng seng, haojun, astee, edwin and tingjun separated from the rest and we went to venture ourselves. my 1st impression of the place is that it is quite dirty. the buildings seem too old for my liking. graffitti is on everywhere. anyway, we went to the centralpart of milan. there was this big open area. we went through it and we were conned of 5 euroes. there were these 2 guys who came to us. this man shoved bird seeds into my face but i just stood there, not wanting to take them. then he went over to tingjun grabbed his hands and put some seeds onto his hands. this attracted the pigeons and they just flew to tingjun's hand. it was a lovely sight i must say. then we thought they are so friendly, so each of us went to do the same thing. after that, he demanded 5 euroes from each of us. damn!

but anyway, milan is not a place for those who want to go shopping. it is super high end. in the end, i only bought souvenirs. oh, we went to San Siro where the biggest stadium of Italy is. it houses AC milan and InterMilan. so cool! too bad that day got match so we could not go for a tour in the stadium.

the italian's food portion is super small as compared to london. no wonder italians are all so skinny and pretty.

we went to the museum of science and technology by leonardo da vinci. he is a cool cool guy lahh. he spent his life drawing alot of things from the science to the arts. and after looking at THE LAST SUPPER portrait, i must really kowtow to dan brown because he can really use his imagination to create a story out of the picture and it is fictitious.

all in all,it is a good trip. more of sightseeing than shopping.
shall post pics in time to come. :)
ciao
