Italy trip - Day 7 (04/07/07)

for today.. we are basically free as there were no programmes allocated and so.. we spent time with our own hosts! we woke up a bit later den usual.. like 10 plus.. and decided to visit a town called Monza.. it's quite a cool town.. many roadside shops and selling many branded stuff.. and actually many old and rich families live over that area.. next we went to visit this big Monza cathedral.. but we are not allowed to take pictures there.. there are crowns and jewels displayed inside.. very specticulating indeed.. on our way back we oso visited this very very big and grand palace.. and oso a beautiful garden next to it.. which won the "best garden award" in some yrs lolx.. again we had carbonara spaghetti for the lunch!! *high* hahahha.. and then we visited a perfume factory next.. i bought some souvenirs for my mum and sis there.. we decided to cook bak kut teh for our host for dinner to let them try some of our local food.. so we headed down to the supermarcato again to buy ribs and a whole chicken for the Hainanese chicken rice.. and our host family like it alot =) when they ask us how much is a plate of the chicken rice we ans them.. about 1 euro.. and look at their expression!! they stone and stun at us for awhile.. kind of like unbelievable because its like so cheap and yet the meal is so nice.. anyway at night we went to watch the Band of Festival concert in Besana.. i would say the repertoire is not very entertaining.. but good job for all those nusws members who performed there =) came back quite early as we had to wake up early to visit Lake Como tmr!!
