Milan

It was a short visit but it was fun!

I'm starting to get confused as to where we are, we've only been staying in places for a few days its hard to keep track!

This was def the biggest hostel we've stayed at so far, it had five floors, a club, a bar, a cafe, pool table, fooseball table, huge common area. It was pretty intense but I think they need to send less time making the common areas awesome and spend more time cleaning the dorms. The bathrooms were not very clean. I watched the cleaner this morning she walked in wiped the sink with a dirty rag and left. There's also a sign in the bathroom on the back of the door that instructs you on how to clean the toilet. It says if it's dirty pleas follow these instructions, wtf! I'm not cleaning some public toilet! Besides that the hostel wasn't to bad, it was very noisy, these people got up the first morning at like 7:00am and started screaming and siging, come on man be respectful. I mean I know it's a hostel and you can't be quite forever but that's really freaking early especially since I didn't get to bed until 6am. This morning it was just as bad, people got up and blasted music and started yelling across the halls to each other.

The first night we were in Milan we got invited out by these two guys, one of was from Chicago, and the other Melbourne. We also met some more Canadians who were from Quebec, they also came out with us. Originally it was going to be Kristy and I with these two guys going to some club they had heard about, but we went to get dressed and that changed we came back and were now going to a university party at a club. The guy who worked at the hostel invited us, what a sick job he had hanging out talking to people and drinking while you work. We ended up taking the tram, the Italian guy gave us directions on how to get here because he was driving. The two other Canadians went with him. We got there before they did and the bouncers were going to let Kristy and I in but not the guys we were with. We said they were with us so the let them in too, the other people showed up and they wouldn't let them in without paying cover. We didn't even pay to get in! Score one for us! It was def a good night out, the guy from Chicago is a photographer and it's so funny how much people love them selves, they would walk up to him and be like take our picture! Even guys were asking to get their picture taken. We also learned that apperently Italians don't dance like Canadians, we were quite the show. We got videotaped and photographed, we kept getting pestered by theses Italian guys who wouldn't take no for an answer,not even the figure deterred them.

There isn't much to see in Milan other then their huge ass church called the duomo, yes it has the same name as the church in Florence. It was quite the amazing church actually, very beautiful. I swear the amount of dead bodies we see in these church's we go to are rediclious! There's either whole bodies or bones of people on display. There's also a lot of people buried in the floors and you walk on their graves which I don't partially enjoy, I think it's a little disrespectful. Although some of the churches it's impossible to avoid stepping on the graves because the whole floor is covered with them. I actually ended up seeing the church twice because the night we went out I seen it all lite up which was very pretty. After the church we went to the big castle which was pretty neat, then after that we went to their big park, it had a few monuments, a big arch, a stadium, and a free aquarium. The aquarium actually turned out to be pretty decent especially for bing free. The tanks along we're very neat to see. They took alot of time creating the habitats which is cool to see. While we were in the park there was this big group of teenagers getting loaded, they had open liquor everywhere and were literally partying in the middle of  public park...only in Europe. Only in Europe do u see teenagers getting drunk at a park, or getting drunk on the subway. Gotta love the police force here.
