#Italy #Milan-#Day 1

We took the flight early in the morning at 7.30am and reached Milan / Linate at 11.00am.
Then, we  redeemed our Milano card in Milan Centrale.
Our princess, Ben left her bag with her passport inside in metro station. Everyone went crazy searching everywhere but luckily her prince, the security guard came along and said he found her bag!
The princess was sooo happy and she held his arm and said “I love you!”

Then, we headed to B&B Music hostel. Since we were quite late, we rather waited for Cindy and we went out together instead of the original plan to going to meet in front of the church.
Around 2.00pm, we went to Sforzesco Castle. It was partly destroyed. Well, I think it is famous maybe because Leonardo Da Vinci helped out in decoration work. 
Well, people are not all good! There are always black sheep that disgrace their own race. A lot of black people selling bracelet here. They approached you and said the bracelet is for free and bring you good luck!
However, they forced you to wear it and then only they asked for money!



Since we were quite late, we didnt go for Teotro Alla Scala which is a place where for lot of performances such as ballet, mask show, opera and on and on.
Then, we went to the Galleria Victtoria, which is the world's oldest shopping mall!Apparently, although there are nothing much inside, still, it is a place worth visiting!
The most interesting part is that on the ground of the central octagonal, there are four mosaics portraying the Coat of Arms of the three Capitals of the Kingdom of Italy (TurinFlorence and Rome) plus the Milan's. The tradition tells that if a person put its right heel on the bull's genitals depicted of the bull from Turin Coat of Arms and turn on himself three times, this will bring good luck. This practice causes damage to the mosaic: a hole developed on the place of the bull's genitals.

After that, we went to Milan Cathedral but too bad it was not open for visit. So instead, we changed plan and went for a hearty dinner before we went back to hotel! But still, it look amazing from exterior!
Dont forget to try the famous risotto!
