It was awesome at Milan \o/ We visited an old gothic church. So cool :O Inside was a memorial for San Carlo Borromeo aka Pope Pius IV. Yes, another Borromeo ;P Still, very beautiful structure. The pillars and walls and practically everything was beautifully decorated. The gothic knew what they were doing ( ^^)-b I think I'll be able to show a picture outside of it, once I'm home.
Also got a peak at some small roman churches. It's a bit sad. Milan is so crowded that old structures and monuments are buried under and between the labyrinth of buildings. Seriously, you HAVE TO lose your way to the backstreets to see them, otherwise you miss them.
Yeah, also, more ice cream xD Not so good this time, but still went down well ;P
Around the gothic church the place was pretty much a market place. Lots of street sellers and shops. I was a little surprised when a man came and tied this colorful wire to my wrist. Said it symbolised life or something, being a gift from Africa. That kinda made me think... It's weird. Might sound crazy, but I actually feel love pouring from that little wire... It does remind me of life's importance somehow.
Getting back from Milan was a bit harder. Today was some sort of Italy's republic day, so a lot of people were manifesting about the government on the street. There was a lot of people and also the media. Some kind of communist supporter group were waving flags and marching, and riot police was there having shields ready just in case. Because of the event, the nearby metro stations were closed, so we had to search a bit for one.
