restlessly wanderlust

Prossima Fermata: Milano Centrale

Italy was the first country visited. I took train from Paris to Milan but the transits were twice, in Lyon and Geneva which is inside Switzerland. Those transits only lasted about an hour so I just sat down in the waiting room. First day I saw Milan’s train station was like wow, it’s big and clean. We arrived at nearly 11 midnignt and I did still have to find a hotel, thank God a Chinese guy helped and took me there.

First day I went to Piazza del Duomo, 

reached there by Metro with buying the 24hour ticket for about €6. Around the Piazza there are city center, the famous church Duomo and Gallery Vittorio Emanuele II, which is a marvelous shopping center in Milan, built with a well-architectured style.

Be careful when you got here, as you see so many beautiful doves flying around you and there are some guys offer you corns to feed those birds then take pictures of you, soon they’ll ask for money. Two of my friends got fooled, they had to pay €20 in total. That was a total waste!

Anyway, around this city center, there are lots of restaurants offering different kind of food. We decided to taste Panzerotti and gelato Cioccolat Italiani. Panzerotti Luini is so tasty with only costs €2.5 each, for the gelato as well, no wonder there were really crowded at both!

I also walked around Via Montenapoleone, sightsee the luxurious street offering branded stuff like LV, Versace, and the biggest store are like Emilio Pucci, Gucci and Armani which is indeed originated from Italy.
