I'm going to Milan

[Star]

What's to do there? I know NOTHING about it.

[lolly]

I don't know, I've never been. YOU BITCH

It's not top of my list of places to go. Is this the two day thing with work?

[Star]

Yes!

I'm a bit annoyed, as I said to let me know before they book, as I might consider staying out there a bit longer if one of you boys wanted to come out there, but they went and booked anyway.

And I'm sharing a room with the boss

[lolly]

I think Suedehead has been. Or at least he;s a lot more familiar with Northern Italy than me.

[Star]

Well you know me lolly, as long as I can get a nice fridge magnet I'll be happy!

[Molicious]

To do?

Be FASHIONABLE
Eat PIZZA
Go to ART GALLERIES
STRUT

I would imagine. I was there as a child.

[lolly]

Well you know me lolly, as long as I can get a nice fridge magnet I'll be happy!

Get one of the Duomo



It does look AMAZING

[funky]

it's very INDUSTRIAL

not nearly as GLAMOROUS as it SOUNDS

although there's plenty to do if you look hard enough

[Molicious]

I think I went to the DUOMO

I remember climbing lots of STEPS

There will be lovely food and cultural things... plenty enough for two days.

[lolly]

Isn't it the financial heart of Italy as well?

I don't think it's supposed to be THAT attractive a city outside of the centro storico, is it, but I'm sure you'll find enough to do to fill a few days. Isn't it very easy to get to one of the big lakes from there, as well?

[lolly]

it's very INDUSTRIAL

Poor Star. She's been HOODWINKED into a weekend break to the Italian SHEFFIELD

[Donna Winter]

How nice

I'm going to BUXTON

[Star]

How nice

I'm going to BUXTON

Oh come with lover, WORK are PAYING.

[adam jay]

I have been!
All I remember is on the main shopping road I went to tip some guy playing the didgeridoo and he then asked me to hold it while he went to toilet in la rinascente, so i was just left in the street for a good five minutes just holding this didgeridoo

here is a nice building



hottie on a poster


there is a castle thing and its full of japanese and pickpockets - they try and sell you wristbands and i said i didn't want one, (he was blates after my camera which i had just put away) so he tried to force it on me for free, but i chucked at him and ran.

also NEVER DRIVE in milan, nightmare!!! x

[Star]

Thanks adam jay! x

Definitely go to the Duomo, which is gorgeous. La Scala is one of the most famous Opera Theatres in the world - so if you could catch something there, that would be awesome. Make sure you go and see 'The Last Supper' by Da Vinci - I loved that.

Also, you can get to Lake Como - its a short train ride away.

Or if you don't get around to it Star, my mother has it on a lovely set of place mats. Next time you're down I'll take you on a visit.

I've rather LUDICROUSLY booked a ticket to see Dead Can Dance in Milan in October and now have no idea what on EARTH I'm going to do when I get there, let alone where to stay or indeed HOW TO SPEAK ITALIAN

Why the fuck didn't I choose HAMBURG?

[Star]

Oh they all speak english anyway!

[Susan-Claire]

JUST AS WELL

As it is, I decided to get a ticket for the Hamburg show as well. I haven't been anywhere since Krakow in 2006 thanks to my soon-to-be-disappearing DISMAL DEBTS so FUCK IT
