Arriving in the city center, I look for the first sidewalk and make a mini-plan for today. Somewhere in front of me, a local over 40 years old, dressed in a beige sweater and with a blunt denim jacket, plays the violin. Most tourists ignore him. From time to time they stop, listens to him for about 30-40 seconds and leaves. But that doesn’t stop our old musician from playing until late in the evening.
In 2-3 minutes, someone looks at me in amazement. As if to say, “What the hell is this weird doing on the sidewalk, with a notebook, a map, and a pen in his hand?” I get up and start a new day, a new city waiting to be discovered, a new experience waiting to be lived.
In Milan, I met dozens of Moroccans. Everyone had something for you: bracelets, postcards, guides, souvenirs, bags, everything. When they see a tourist with an expensive camera on his shoulder, their face seems to light up. They come, greet you, talk to you, they are very kind, taking into account the color of the skin. But their attitude changes radically when you tell them you don’t have money, and even if you did, you wouldn’t give it to them. Maybe they are luckier with the next tourist.
Today, April 12, the Catholic Easter is celebrated. At noon, I entered the Cathedral. The Easter service was in full swing. The dome was full of believers. I stayed here for an hour or so. I mean, the audition is impressive. Beats any concert or events hall in Romania. Unfortunately, I was not able to get ahead, or at least get a seat on the bench, but I enjoyed attending my first Catholic service to celebrate Easter.
In addition to the Dom, in Milan you should also visit the Castello Sforzesco and the park behind it, the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery, the Scala Theater and the Triumphal Arch. That’s about it for Milan. Next: Venice, Zagreb and Istanbul.
Foarte bune pozele ce cameră ai “ciudatule” ? Cât Å£ine acest “Eurotrip”?
10x,
Canon 40D + 70-200L 2.8 + 50fix momentan, mi-am busit 2 obiective. Sper sa imi iau un wide din state luna viitoare.
Prima parte tine pana pe 25Aprilie, iar a 2-a parte intre 12Iunie si 20Iulie
Deci prinzi ÅŸi sărbătorile prin Europa dar măcar te distrezi… Cât despre cameră eÅŸti un “ciudat” profi… păcat că am “auzit” de tine de pe twitter, la cât de bine povesteÅŸti întâmplarile prin lume trebuia să fi strâns mai mulÅ£i vizitatori. Succes pe acolo ÅŸi aÅŸtept noi întâmplari… Take care.
Auch. Ce alte obiective aveai? Cum ai reusit sa le pocnesti?
Sa inteleg ca iti place la Milano.Inca nu am avut ocazia sa-l visitez ,dar pe viitor sper sa ajung,in schimb am fost la Roma,unde am si stat o perioada .Iti recomand sa vizitezi si Roma.Sunt destule de vizitat ,numai Mausoleul din Piata Spania iti ocupa toata ziua si tot nu reusesti sa vezi tot. Castel Sant’Angelo este minunat!
@mihaela am fost si la Roma si mi-a placut: http://www.adrianzanfir.com/ciao-roma/
