Grand Brun Milan

... out with anyone but the family. Luisa said she needed to know for sure when I was going home so they could find someone else, so that night I called the airline and set my flight for November 24th, so I could be home for Thanksgiving. We played Uno that night, and I won and Francesco screamed at me so loudly his pacifier dropped out of his mouth and I saw his tonsils. And she wonders why I sometimes distance myself from them? I ...

... 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 ...

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 ...

... For some reason I had this idea that people would be speaking English to one another, but that is not the case...AT ALL. These two younger boys behind me starting speaking English to one another, I believe trying to get my attention. On the plane, I met a guy name Mateo. He lives right outside of Milano. I started looking at a surfing magazine and he asked me where I was from. He could not believe that he was meeting a real California ...

... red peppers and some kind of sausage. Dylan finished off with some sort of coffe cake. We went back to the room and he started up on the Donkey Kong, while I watched some very weird show in Italian. We ended up staying up past midnight, just talking and laughing at the tv and all we had been through for the last little bit. He envied me for Switzerland, I envied him for London. The very next day, we just decided to do the usual ...

... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castello_S forzesco Amazing! They don't have these in NJ! The rest of the night is spent wandering the streets and the metro and visiting happy hours. Part of the time we are lost but hey, we are lost in Milan! We pass Leonardo DaVinci's home and many churches in the dark. A final walk back to out hotel at a very late hour- yikess- in bed about 3am! Six AM will come very shortly...

... ventisette (27). It turned out to be a commercial audition, rather than a modeling casting. Apparently, the audition was for a brand of sparkling water, and the commercial has to do with swimming, I am guessing where I would finish swimming but quench my thirst on the water. Makes sense. haha They took two guys at a time, and had us go into the camera room where they filmed each of us separately. First order of business, strip. Yeah, I was thinking. . . oh, nevermind. I ...

... We were intending to go have a nice sleep in a hostel, but one of our favorite bands was playing in Milan that night, but the budget only allowed one... it was a good concert, don't regret that, but finding a free warm place to sleep in Northern Italy at the end of winter, proved a challenge, but we were able to sleep in the train station. With frozen toes we climbed aboard the train across to Venice, one of the most unique cities in the world.
