Hi, i went to Milan for the weekend. this is my 2nd weekend in Italy.
Milan is so different from Venice or florence. it is more like Newyork. i felt more comfortable and home. seemed alot easier to live there and venice or florence.
its is like New York but with old buildings.
but there people there were super stylish unlike Newyork lol
they were so nicely dressed. i mean most of the poeple know what they look good on themselves.

i visited mostly main places.
Duomo, the Galieria Vittorio Emanuele, Brera museum, Sforzesco Castle, Santa maria delle Grazie church, Ambrosiana museum, and the famous shopping street(Montenapoleone, spiga, sant'Andrea and so on)

unfortunally i couldn't see the "Last supper" by leonardo da vinci. i had to call in and make a reservation before hand but when i called it was already full :(
plus leonardo da vinci science museum was close under the construction.. SAD SAD SAD.

well. I'll go back there again in the future so no worries!!!
