Milan-One of the World Capitals of Design and Fashion

We just spent a day in Milan before we heading back to Turkey in May 2007. Since its was a day trip, we went to the Duomo, Milan's cathedral, one of the largest church in the world. On the right hand side of the church, there is a shopping place called Piazza del Duomo. You can find any branded stuff there.

When we were there, the building was under maintenance. But it's still look great!

You can walk around in Milan and you will find a lot of interesting stuff. I was very tired during that time as you can see I dont even care my messy hair!

Rome-capital of Italy

We went to Rome in May 2007. My experience in Rome was not a good one. To me Rome is a dangerous city. There are many a lot of beggars, picpockets and people in the street looks so devilish~

We rented a room near the train station and the owner did advice to take extra careful when walking around on our own. The MRT and the streets are really dirty. I think Kuala Lumpur is even better. However, those tourist attraction places are definitely clean!

Colosseum and Trevi fountain. We did turn around and threw a coin over our shoulder. I think you could be rich by picking up the coins inside the fountain but make sure you do it in the late midnite when nobody is there!

You can easily find gelato in Rome and is really cheap. We had gelato for at least 3 times a day when we were there :)

Vatican Museum, a place that cannot be missed!

Not to forget, a kiss from me before we go!

Venice-City of Romance

We went to Venice in May 2007. We actually went to a few cities in Italy but this post I would like to talk about Venice only which is always known as city of romance.The city of Venice is simply stunning and completely unique.It is linked by a series of over 150 canals, 400 bridges and many ancient pavements. Venice is without doubt one of the most beautiful and popular cities in the world and is always admired by the many tourists that visit throughout the year.

My travelling experience in Venice was so relaxing as we can walk around the city without taking any public transport coz we just hang around the island for 3 days and 2 nights. To my surprise, my hubby proposed to me when we were taking the gondola ride. This is an unforgetable memory to me. I still hope to revisit Venice again but maybe when we get old. ^_^

Talking about the food, I am expecting to have a good italian food there, but "NoNo". It's really disappointing and we took McDonalds for about 4 to 5 times during our stay in Venice. Anyway, during that time we were trying to save some money on food as our next station will be Paris, where definitely we will spend more either for shopping or food.

Here are some pictures taken in Venice. St. Mark Square is full with pigeons and very annoying. If you ever squad down, the pigeon will step on your head just like the picture below...

And he still smiling happily there -_-'''

This picture taken at the Rialto Bridge. Cool isn't it??

Just a little advice to those who are planning to backpack to Europe, Venice definitely a "must visit" place. You can either take plane or train to Venice. Check out the low cost airline, Ryan Air from time to time as they always have promotion just like our Air Asia. During our time, we were lucky to get those zero ticket from Ryan Air and ended up we saved more coz the price was cheaper than the train tickets and we could reach the destination faster as well. :)
