Milan

Milan. Not my favourite city but unfortunately, the SQ flight there is a couple of hundreds cheaper than Rome.

I will always remember Milan as the start of my first solo trip; the place where I stumbled around in my jetlagged and semi-unwashed state after a 13 hour flight.

My top 10 moments were: 
(1) figuring out how to buy a local data card from Wind 
(2) popping into a supermarket in a more neighbourhoodly area 
(3) my extremely comfortable room 
(4) exploring the immense and impressive Milano Centrale 
(5) walking along the never-ending shopping streets and spotting the brands I like 
(6) walking through the park in the afternoon 
(7) having a cheese + prosciutto dinner alone opposite a cute guy 
(8) buying my first tea at the standing bar counter 
(9) taking my own time to explore the rooftops of the Duomo 
(10) talking to fellow tourists who were very amused with my selfie stick.

Always amazed by the Duomo's intricate Gothic facade.

Literally walking on the Duomo's roof!

Gorgeous intricacy up close.

The extremely walkable pedestrian avenues.

Couldn't resist a from-where-I-sit shot with the pretty spires.

A modern geleteria with one of the best gelatos I've tried this trip.

Yes, that can only be a drizzle of Nutella.

Sunshine and storm clouds?!

A most satisfying dinner.
