my first solo mini break overseas... nervous and excited, i ventured to milan. technically i wouldn't consider this a full fledge vacation as it was just a long weekend that i leveraged on a biz trip. regardless, here i am, alone and... well alone. all in all, i survived my first day pretty well. here are my initial observations...
- everything is expensive
- everyone smokes
- men are goooood looking!
- lots of pda's
- people love to just hang out and chill out
- fake pradas and guccis are also sold in the land of originals!
- architecture is beautiful
- people are very fashionable
- the weather is PERFECT in May!
let me just say again how excellent the weather was... cool and dry! coming from s'pore, it was pure heaven. it was a perfect day for... well, just chillin outdoors and so i did, along with the rest of the milaneans on this labor day.
maybe it's because of all people hanging out (or the pda's) but it felt very lonely from time to time. families, couples, friends, eating, laughing and hanging out... and here is me. in my mind, i am singing... "all by myself! don't wanna be, all by myself... ANYMORE!" hehe... it wasn't that bad, even eating alone didn't feel as awkward. but it sure would have been nice to have a buddy with me, or even a dog! got two more days in milan before i head over to geneva for work. we'll see how this mini break unfolds...
