Milan & Venice

from our town, we took a 5 hours train/bus ride to the frankfurt hahn which is a budget terminal. then we took a 50 mins flight to Milano Bergamo Airport. after boarding the plane, some technicians came up the plane and fix some panel that was loose.... how comforting to fly wif ryanair..

after we landed, some weird sound effect came out and said "RYANAIR, the on-time airline, last year, over 90% of our flights were on time!" when i heard it i was like "wtf?" cos the sound effect was really amusing...

took a bus to Milano centrale and i took a train to my sister's friend, Melissa's place to stay. the rest of them stayed in a hostel. thank god i stayed wif melissa! i heard the hostel was like shit. Melissa has a cat called koocholini or something. The cat likes to jump here and there like spiderman.

Milan didnt really have anything much except for expensive shops like Armani, Gucci, D&G and everything else.. we juz walked abit, rest abit, walk and rest.. but the buildings there all very unique, all got stone carvings on it.

at night we went to a bar and had buffet. melissa said that everyday, 5-9:30pm is happy hour. order one drink which cost 8 euros, and have a buffet. quite a good deal i must say. After that, we walked around and went back to the apartment.




Next day, Venice, pigeon heaven. we were headed for St. Marco square, the main tourist attraction. it took us 3 hrs before we got there. we went into almost every tourist shops to see and buy things haha. typical singaporeans.

And so, we finally reached the Rialto Bridge which leads to the St. Marco square. The square is FULL OF PIGEONS. After walking around here and there ard the square, taking some pictures here and there, I looked under my slipper and well well…….. what’s there? BIRD SHIT. All our soles have bird shit on it. But the view there was majestic.

Then we headed back to melissa’s apartment and talked through the night till its time for our flight.
