Milan (The Fashion Capitol of the World)

May 7, 8, 12

Milan was not what we expected. It reminded us of New York City with a lot of well-dressed people rushing from place to place. It was weird to see men dressed in expensive suits riding bikes. In this main piazza, there were streets that didn't allow cars, so there was a lot of walking.

The pictures show the main shopping mall there. It includes stores such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci. We are standing in front of the Louis Vuitton store. It was interesting that there were guards posted at the doors. The bottom left picture shows the big cathedral next to the mall. The main door of the cathedral was made of brass and had different scenes of Christ's life on it. Some people believe that if you rub Christ's knee, it will bring you good luck. Who knows why the leg of the abuser was shiny as well.
