From Milan to Venice to Florence. I am now in florence. Will leave tmr morning for Rome.

Milan was a culture shock. Nobody in Milan speaks English. I was at the train station, queued up for 40 mins. Then, all the counter staff said "No English", the moment I opened my mouth.

At the hostel, I could not ask for anything. It was so bad. I almost thought I should just shut myself up in the Milan hostel. Eating my packed lunch, and taking my own time, I heard some Mandarin. To my utter relieve, the hostel receptionist was actually an Italian Chinese. So she helped me solve my ticket problem, and told me how to get around Milan. Some other places I thought of going, but then since no one speaks English here, and its raining heavily, I decided not to. Lest I dont make it back to the hostel.

Venice - better forgotten instead really. Update next time.

Florence. Florence was good, because I had a good host.

Next stop is rome. I kinda dont feel like going. Bcos florence, I finally had proper food, GOOD food to say the least, to eat. And a good place to return to, with quite good company. Then again, I know that Im done with Florence already. And the faster I get to rome, the faster I learn the ropes and cheap ways there. So I should get to rome, tmr morning, and spend one day, looking for a supermarket, and learning the transport system. And just planning my days from thurs to sun.

I hope to get to Pisa, then back to Oslo. Im done with Italy already. Italy is an ugly country. Dirty, rubbish all over the floor, bad roads, bad streets, full of gangs here and there. Full of beggars and poor people. Its just the old relics that draws thousands of visitors every day.

Ok Damn tired. Need to sleep. Nite.
