Day 3 in Torino

We just can't have a day without some misfortune.
We tried to return the skis to JOLLYSPORT before 12.30pm.
to our horror, we realised they didn't open till 3.30pm on Mondays. (Laid back italians)

We carried all the equipment to their backyard, thinking of a solution to
pass time for the next 3 hours.
How optimistic can we be: Playing PSP at the backyd.

Clueless of what we should do, we decided to go for spirits-lifting
gelato in batches while waiting.
To our horror once again, the gate we get in by is locked!
Fortunately, a resident opened the gate for us as she's on the way out. PHEW!
Still optimistic, we left the scis there and headed for real this time to our favourite gelato. Since the gate will be locked, the left behind skis should be very safe.
Gelato at 1 Euros for 2 gusti (flavours!)
Super cheap, good variety and appealing flavours! SHIOK...

Once we stepped back to Milano, all 4 of us are really glad to be back in a
familiar setting and a safer one. In Torino, dunno if the people there are more
friendly or naughtier, a lot of random strangers will approach you to talk to you.
In metropolitian Milano, I guess the people here are more used to seeing people from
Asia, so they are less surprised to see such a big group of us together.
We need not worry too much about pickpockets here in Milano as compared to Torino
as well.. I have no idea why...

As usual, we are hungry during dinnertime.
A simple meal of onion fried with egg and fried cabbage, lettuce and carrots!
Invested in a apple pastry down our friendly neighbourhood. .5 EUROS! leh!
