Unexpected new findings in Milan

Visited the church for a 2nd time this sunday and finally listened to an English sermon by the female pastor of that Methodist church. It was good. there's even a welcome dinner at a member's house on the 29th! SOunds gd :)

In the morning, Meihua and I left gan and yan at home, thinking they will stay at home the whole day since gan had not woken up yet when we left.
Both of us in the end visited a park called Guardini Pubblici and the several musuems around it.
We feel like we are back in the first few days in Milan, being amazed at everything and triggered our cameras like mad once again. Finally we feel like tourist doing the sightseeing stuff once again, instead of feeling like housewifes doing the grocery shopping and cooking stuff.. so bear with the photos over load! ENJOY!

the park was very enjoyable cos the weather is good and it felt like a perfect place for family picnics and gatherings. Perfecto!

Museo Civico di Storia Naturale is a musuem specially for natural creatures!
We specially waited for the free entry timing at 4.30pm! ha..
Went to explore the nearby area and found this hotel "for dressy events" (as described in lonely planet). ha.. ideas went wild about how we are going to get ourselves through the heavy black doors... Sheration Diana Majestic

Huge interior with amazing collections from minerals, to animal fossils, to plants, to analysis of mankind.. very worth the trip. Both of us felt wasted that they don't provide english explanations to their display. if not it'll be splendid!

Didn't eat lunch.. so as we see the minerals, we kept on describing them as food,
like "hey! that looks like chocolate flakes!", "hey! that looks like dragon fruit!", "that looks like chocolate chip icecream!"... ha...

We ended the day by taking the metro in hope that once we reached home we will have the table set and dinner ready. We were so wrong. We met gan and yan at the Novate train station. They too just came back from their tour to Parco Sempione. Oh man.. we still have to cook...........
Rice, fried vegetables, Honey glazed baked chicken &...
