winter in milan
i find the advantages of visiting a country in winter outweigh the cons. one very big pro is that it's not as crowded, off peak. it's nice to take a break from summer all year round back home, although temperatures can dip to as low as -13C. not too bad here in milan, lowest was only about -5C like now a about 23:40.today was my last chance to play in snow but it wasn't snowing still.. even in barcelona, the weather has cleared up like magic. doesn't look like the airport had to be closed up till the day before we arrived in milan. lucky for that set. get to spend an extra 2 days in milan. $$$ wahaha.
venice was worth the trip. the architecture, the good sunny weather, the good restaurant with air sommeliers we happen to chance upon, nutella gelato and of course the endless streets of fashion boutiques.
judging from the algae marks of high tide, i think venice will suffer the consequences of global warming in several years. the residents have already moved to the second floors of their homes and measures have been put in place to prepare for the worst. it is sad an iconic city like this will be lost.
it's hard to decide which city i like best now. is it paris or milan? or is it amsterdam.. haha.. i like all of them.. it's really important who you go with. that can make or break your trip.
watched "Wanted" just now. angelina jolie was super sexy in the movie. pity she had to die in the end. damn. my last night in milan. surely going to miss it. let's pray roster is good!
good night from milan =)
