Milan
Milan, city of fashion and design. Frankly speaking, I don’t really fancy Milan.

In Milan, not to be miss would be the Milan Cathedral, and perhaps one of the oldest shopping mall in the world, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, oldest shopping mall
One of the reason I don’t fancy Milan? Well, just so you know that the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele is famous for having big stars shopping for those branded fashion stuff, like Gucci, LV, etc. Problem is that, the sales people serve you based on your status. That’s right, you will get very arrogant service from these people, particularly if you dress like a student.
Then again I enjoy the design of the so-called old mall, especially on the roof.

There’s also some kind of lucky charm thing going on the centre square. There’s this drawing of a bull with a hole on the floor.
Look closely, there is a hole in the middle
Put you feet into the hole, and spin a round to get lucky. Origin of this story? No idea. Kinda funny seeing a few people spinning on it.
