Italy trip - Day 6 (03/07/07)
today is Milan day!! we took 1 full hr bus ride to get to there.. first we visited the Science and Technology museum.. where they display all the works of Leonardo da Vinci.. lots of pictures were taken there.. there were hardly anytime to sit down and had a proper lunch and so our host pack fos us "pocket lunch" consisting of 3 sandwiches.. some drinks and an apple.. very filling indeed.. Duomo was our next destination.. its one of the grandest and largest cathedrals in Italy.. some silly and unexpected incidents happened at that area.. as there were tons of pigeons flying outside the cathedral.. we wanted to take a pictures with them and so there were guys who were giving us corns and helping us take photos and guess how much they demanded.. 20 euros!! omg.. cheated like hell.. damn pissed off because 20 euros is like 40 bucks singapore dollars.. this lesson learnt cost me so much.. argh.. enough of this incidents.. we went back to Besana and had fish and chips with our host family before we perform a final concert in Brugora.. the place was not very good for performing though.. our sounds were quite messed up partly because we cant really hear what the rest of us were playing.. luckily the Italians enjoyed it =) we packed our instruments and quickly rushed back to Besana to listen to the Lithuana band that is performing.. they were playing some pop and jazz pieces and i must say their players are very zai.. i was so impressed by their sound.. after which me lifei phobe and yongkiat went to play cards at the seating area.. reached home at about 2am.. totally "cui" by then..
