I am soon to sit my fourth and last oral exam which concludes my semester at the Catholic University of Milan.
I will then return to Veneto for five days, before heading to Barcellona for a month of learning Spanish, and a little bit of beach and dancing :)
Looking forward to having MJ come stay with me one week from June 30th... and Alizee and her friend from July 21st!
It does sadden me to leave Milan, a bit more than I first expected actually.
Coming from such a sunny, friendly and clean city like Perth, it's strange how much this smoggy, cold, often snobby city has drawn me in, intrigued me, almost made me fall in love. It's like that attraction towards something you know you shouldn't be attracted to, because you think you deserve better, because that thing doesn't make you feel wanted, maybe it teases you, or plays hard to get. That is Milan, personified. You have to have a strong character to dominate it.
Soooo on the other hand, I've had a lovely time here.
Especially on this street, via Sforza, which is on one of the main canals in Milan and is lined by my favourite bars and clubs.
... and cool people :)
Especially here:
The city looks to pretty at night, and alive.
I've never uploaded pictures of where we live!
So, this is the view from via Solari, our street. In between the two trees is the entrance to our block of apartments which surround an internal courtyard.
And here are some photos of the flat that Stefania (the third housemate) sent me before I'd confirmed moving in here.
And this is a snap of the markets which kept me busy and spending money every Tuesday and Saturday! It's one of the biggest market in Milan and happens to be a block away from our house. Lots of clothes etc but I mainly visited for fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, hams etc. Have made friends with a few of the regular sellers. There I go, turning into my grandmother ;)
I'll miss the majesty of the city centre.
But probably the thing I'll miss most about Milan:
MJ <3
