Tumblr is really not a user friendly blog place. I should’ve researched more before choosing this.

I have to rewrite this whole thing again.
Haha Milan, Italy!!!

The airport looks a bit too old for an international airport. It feels like it was built in the 90s and was never been renovated.

To get to the city center, I need to take the airport train, which is 12 Euros.

Tickets can be purchased through the ticket machine, but there is a huge problem…

Ticket machines don’t take American cards because American cards require signature, while the rest of the world uses PIN.

I have to withdraw money from the ATM (Charles Schwab users are free with very good rate (no fee)!)

I feel like Italians do not really speak a lot of English, especially for the older generation.

It took me so long to talk to the ticket office person and bought a ticket using my credit card!

The train system was really great! Very fast, high technology, quite, and comfy! Nothing comparable to BART of course!

Arrived the Hotel, but the receptionist doesn’t speak English!!!! WTF!

The website of the hotel features one of its benefits as speaking English. Where is my English speaking person?!!!

The receptionist had to call her friend over the phone and ask her to translate for us (Her English isn’t good either). Well, at least I got checked in!

Have no idea what that is? Me either. It looks like a toilet, but it isn’t. According to Han, this is being used by Romans who don’t like to take shower. It can be used to clean certain areas of the body without getting wet all over the body… ew…

Time to explore the city!!

Milan has a very good local railway system. Fast and clean!

Milan Cathedral (Italian: Duomo di Milano; Lombard: Domm de Milan)

Milan Cathedral is located right at the city center along with all other attractions (see the point here… it has nothing to see… visited all Milan’s attractions within a couple hours)

Around the area

I don’t know what it is. It looks like a donut with cream inside.
