First Stop: Politechnico di Milano
Our first visit to our school. Got lost as usual.. haha
Went to the engineering campus instead.
When we finally managed to find Via Durando, we waited for 1 hr or more to make an appointment to come back on Wednesday! ARGH.. haha..
Quite intimidating in the small white room where it gathered many students waiting for some attention from the student desk. Dunno why, the students there speak really good Italian.. SCARY.. felt out of place..
But Anna (the person from the desk) was friendly and we met our ancient-looking professor who gave us ALL his contacts.. email, handphone no., and house no. and all the different timings and days to find him personally.. haha.. Shocking.
Second stop: Happily left for CHINATOWN.. The place which we have longed to visit to complete our dinner with the familiar oyster and soya sauce.
hmmm.. yianling imagined red lanterns hanging across the streets and dong dong qiang songs kept playing non-stop.. (like those in bangkok).. haiz.. how wrong can it go..
The street was full of fashion shops, totally overpriced for the quality.. it's like selling bangkok clothes at 10- 20 Euros. Not worth it at all.
Only 2 food stalls selling Chinese ingredients and food, at prices slightly higher than Singapore. Still, we managed to satisfy the craving for a familiar market place with familiar food.. mian xian, oyster soya sauce, sesame oil we bought.
HAVE TO SAY THIS.. along the way, we tried Nth number of ATMs to try withdraw 700 Euros to pay for rental. AND AND AND only 1 finally work. Have to find one which accepts a 6-digit PIN. WTH!!! haha.. Does that happen in other countries as well? ATM hunting is not fun at all..
Played at a playgrd on the way home carrying the cling clang bottles of sauces.
shit.. i can't swing.. Meihua tried her best to try me how to shift my body, hands and legs muscles.. .. still CANNOT.. what bend knees when moving backwards and stretch knees when moving forward... haiz.. CANNOT means CANNOT. i refuse to admit that it is not an INBORN skill. Pretty park .. with beautiful sky..
Last stop: IPERCOOP. A hypermarket.. giant size.. Tried clothes in Jennyfer for more than 1 hr.. many many cheap bargains.. like a jacket at 7 Euros.. ha.. JUST BUY la! why think so much.. in the end.. ha.. yianling jus bought a 2 Euro racerback tunic. ha. How giam siap we can become.. haha.. so pai seh when paying at the cashier!
CIAO!
