... she would throw it in the cart "so you can bring it home to your family." I love watching the butcher slice meat. It's so quick and the slices are so thin, and the sound is a shushing sound that I could listen to for hours, I know that's weird, but I like it! I tried a slice of what they use for bacon, and it was AMAZING. Later that day I had my first lesson with the girl from the castle, and it went pretty well. She had Charlie and ...

... 8230;&#8217;we are doing what right now!?!?&#8217; Or was it to give my mind a break from the all<br>encompassing view. I cannot do it justice. <br>If I hadn&#8217;t felt so rushed to make it to my next destination I would have considered staying longer. As I meet some amazing people. Sitting in our apartment at night, three Aussies, one American, a German fellow, and I, the token Canadian doing the round robin of sharing our stories while nursing a bottle ...

... statues. I mean, it was just a sea of statues! The wall that surrounded the entire property as actually a hallway where less rich people were "buried" in drawers (still made of marble), and it was this wall/hallway that we had walked up on to see the rest of the cemetary. I must say, I think that was my favorite part about Milan. It was quiet, beautiful, in a sad way, and so unique. As we walked out, back to the train station, I ...

After a light breakfast, we walked 10 minutes to Stazione Centrale (main train station &amp; transit hub), &amp; caught a hop-on, hop-off bus for a morning tour around Milan.<br><br><br><br><br>Spent about an hour at the magnificent Duomo, taking a brief walk around, thru &amp; on top of the huge building! <br><br><br><br><br>The surrounding Piazza and adjacent, commanding 'Galleria Vittorio Emmanuel ...

departed Brisbane on time, then 7 hrs to Singapore for a well-earned 1 hr stretch of the legs while the plane was refuelled.....then a further 7 hrs to Dubai where we had another welcome 4 hr break between flying.<br>Partook in some local 'culture' by feasting on a McDonalds "McArabian Chicken Burger" (see photo).<br><br>Amazing terminal with ...

... take on a different meaning, but the similarities are harder to pinpoint, and the only thing I can really say about them is that they exist. One of the first things I found out here, when I first touched down at Malpensa Airport and met my first host family, is the the laws of physics didn't change. The toilet still flushes the same way, and I still can't fly without the help of a machine. Maybe the society and culture really is extremely different than ...

... ethnic combinations you find on the street corners of New York and Philadelphia. I ordered mushroom risotto and bottled water. The food was not very good but it was decent and cheap. The risotto was kind of watery. We ended our quest for the day and was satisfied that we didn't go to a place with a picture or English menu! I didn't ask anyone whether they spoke English. I simply said that I didn't speak much Italian. It was an uncomfortable day but I learned a ton.

After Istanbul and Rome... even Venice looked dull .. so what do you say about Milan! <br><br>Though we did go to see the famous Leonardo Da Vince's Last Supper. For the nerds likes me, let me tell you that the painting is not on a canvas but on the wall of the church (don't remember the name of the church) ... the experience was Wow... it almost felt that you were having dinner with Jesus and his group .. its costs about 25Euro per person ...

... you go! There is not much else to report about today. I slept horribly last night, so after returning home today, I took a solid nap, hence why I am up this late now. So, Collezioni Uomo, due out mid-June here, so maybe then or later in June in the States. Likely, I will have returned to the States by then, but nonetheless, check out that edition. Hopefully, all my pictures turn out, and actually make it in the editorial!

... it out." But no, all within three or four feet there on the platform leaving what had to be 200 or more birds to fight for it. They instantly became a writhing mass of grey feathers - a flash of purple on the breast here, a dark beak there. They roiled, trying to get over one another to the seed that lay below. It looked like a pot of water put to the boil. Easy fellas. Plenty for all. After that, we rolled on down the line past scenery very different from the Alps, but near ...
