Today is our second day in Milan.I know this might sound disgusting but we ate curly fries for breakfast.Well,people might think it's not disgusting. It was leftover fries from yesterday's dinner in McDonalds.Couldn't finish it,so decided to bring it back.Ughh...the curly fries cold and hard and we didnt eat much.It was totally not GOOD.haha..

Then,today we went to the city in Milan again to explore other parts of the place.We went there quite early about 9 something,so most of the stores are not open yet as we are taking metropolitan(train),we again pass by the luxurious stores.Most of it are not open yet.snap some pics in front of those luxurious stores. Then, we went to the Duomo Church.It's beautiful inside.Oh yeah,we went there early so the lines are not long and it's free to go inside the church but i think on certain days or Sunday,there's ceremony so public people can't go in. Security guards check our bags to see if there's any harmful obejcts or stuff befor going in.As me and my sis went in,we were amaze.The architecture is really gorgeous and i can't help it.It is a must see church in Milan although i'm not a art lover. Gorgeous.After exploring the church,we went out and see a Arch.Inside it,are also luxurious goods too.

this is where the cheating area.in front of Duomo.

While i am taking picture of the ARCH, suddendly some one was grabbing my hand and putting pigeon's food on my hand. I wanted to protest and give it back to him,but he doesnt wanna take it back.Then later he whistle,and pigeons started coming and eat the food from my hand.When the pigeons finish the food,the man wanted to put more but i say NO.Then later,i wanted to go but he says that i have to pay.So i say how much.And he say's â‚¬20.That's insane as the food does not even cost â‚¬1.I say no and i have no money.Both me and my sister say that we dont have money and one of his friend come.We keep on insisting that we have no money and stuff.And when facing this kind of situation,we have to be fierce.And at last,my sister says we pay €2,we shud have say â‚¬1.At first,then man says no,but gives in.I saw many tourist falls into these trap and one chinese or Japanese says NO.and just walk away.Or maybe we should have scream for HELP or something.But we didnt do these,because this is not our country,we are not sure what will happen so we just give them money in case they come after us.Please be very careful when travelling in Milan or other Italian countries.

Another story is where people on street will give you something,and normally we will take it.But after you take it,they will ask you for money even if you give it back to them. I saw alot of people in front of metropolitan(train station) or streets where they will give you a string and tie it in your hand.Then they will ask for money.I think their targets are usually children.So pls pls pls be more careful.This is why me and my sis don't like MILAN.We are not the only one who doesn't like Milan. The people we met in our dorm doesnt like Milan too.People are unfriendly,fierce and lots of cons.

So, after the cons happen.Me and my sister went up to the Duomo Cathedral.There are 2 options either by climibing up the stairs or taking lifts.But we take the stairs because it is cheaper i think for €5.It was quite tiring but when you went up to it,we can see the whole Milan.I really love the architecture because it's really pretty.After being up there for an hour and a half,we went down.It was so much easy going down.Lolz.

Then check out those luxurious stores.Went in to Louis Vuitton.People are so unfriendly and have those smirk.Ughh...i hate them. Then just walk around Milan.Wanted to check out the last supper by Leonardo Da Vinci.But we have to make reservation before going in and we didnt know that, so we didnt see the painting.But my sis went to Paris before and went into the Lourve,so saw the painting before in Lourve.It's fine with me,not an art fan.

this is where The Last Supper Musuem is

Then for dinner, we went back to our hotel and there's a chinese restaurant.Well,we are Chinese so eating Chinese is kind of boring esp in a foreign country.But the chinese restaurant has italian food like pizza,spahgetti and etc.So after shower,me and my sis invite the American girl(she's travelling alone) who doesnt like Milan to join us for dinner. She's really talkative and friendly.So we bought our pizza and went back to our hotel to eat together and just chat. Then bout 8 or 9,i wanted to sleep because there's nothing to do,and woke up around 11 something in the night because it was so hot and there's a lot of mosquitoes.There's no fan and we open the window but still was too hot.I cant stand it and cant wait to leave Milan.So tomorrow,we are going to Switzerland.
