30 Januari 2009 – of Murano Island and Vivaldi concert..

pagi2 we went to murano island together with nana n zaid. it is famous for it glass, murano glass.. seriously, except for dead, the island was quite dead..xramai orang pun…kami pergi kilang murano glass tgk org buat… beli sedikit barang2… then, jalan2 around the island… then berpecah ngan zaid n nana coz they hvnt abis jalan2 kat venice lg… kami pun pg masuk glass museum… then we all bertolak ke cemetery yg lawa. after dat kami pulang ke venice balik, n jalan2 kat park dia yg hijau n best!

sebab hari ni adalah hari terakhir kami kat sini, so kamipun abiskan dgn menikmati suasana venice yg tenang sambil berjalan pulang ke apartment. kami juga dgn kelam kabutnya pun membeli some souvernir utk kenang2an..lepas rehat dan makan2, kami pun berjalan lagi kat peberet place: st. mark square. masuk keluar lorong2 yg sempit.. then, kami pun pegi tengok consert vivaldi – the four seasons. best.

31 Januari 2009 – to Florence!

bangun awal2 pagi, pukul 6 kot… bersiap2 nak pegi ke Stazione Santa Lucia coz train kami lbey kurg pukul 8.30. sampai kat Florence’s Santa Maria Novella dekat2 pukul 11. Cari2 hostel, dan terus check in. tapi bilik kami tak kemas lagi, so we just letak our barang2 there, n jalan ke Santa Maria Novella balik coz nak beli ticket train ke Pisa n ke Rome. kat situ, kami terjumpa ngan geng2 ila balik. dapat tahu dari diorg, hostel diorg located at the same street as we r. lepas tu,diorg pun pegi mcari hostel diorg dan kami pun pegi mengisi perut yg kosong di mcD… walaupun sangat mahal berbanding harga di tpt2 lain, sebab lapar n itulah restaurant yg paling dekat n komfem xkene tipu, so we just ate there.

in Florence, kami byk masuk kuar kedai, sbb tgh saldi(sale) n tpt tggl kami mmg berada di kawasan shopping yg pemes do Florence… Lepas tu kami pergi berjalan2 dekat open market yg besar di San Lorenzo. bende yg paling pemes kat Florence adalah leather goods. kekasih dan william beli leather jacket. aku n dyana beli gloves made of lamb skin. sbnrnya x bniat nak beli pun, tp sbb tgh hujan n sejuk gler, n my gloves yg aku bawak dari nizhny dah tercicir sumwhere dekat malpensa airport, aku pun beli je la..

best shopping kat sini, tp yg paling xbest is, kedai2 dia tutup sangat awal… kol 7pm, suma kedai pun dah tutup… down gler.. so we balik hostel awal, n mandi2 suma. lalu berlakulah perkara yg paling lucu dan tak terjangka sekali sepanjang kami ddk kat italy ni: bila yana kluar toilet, alangkah tekejutnya dia bila tgk mirin di depan mata!!! rupa2nya mereka duduk kat bilik sebelah je… bole plak jd mcm tu wpun nama hostel lain.. turned out that the owner of the 2 hostels orang yg sama je… hahaha~ so that nite, we lepak sama2 la kat bilik je…

1 Februari 2009 – Leaning Tower of Pisa.

train ke Pisa dekat2 pukul9. pegi sama2 ngan geng2 ila… sampai2 kat pisa, hujan rintik2… xbest btol.. ada la orang2 hitam jual2 payung…jangan tertipu! dari train station ke The Field of Miracles tpt letaknya leaning tower tu jauh gak la jalan kaki… 20minit gak la lbey kurang…  sampai situ terus amik gambar bagai nak rak… lpun tu je la yg bole buat pun… nak masuk n naik the tower cost €15, xnak abis kan duit kat situ…

we met a few malaysians thr. mereka pergi bekerja sambil melancong.. kalo tak silap sorang pakcik tu kata diorg pergi italy coz nak beli machine kertas…

after that, kami pon beramai2 mbeli souvernir… banding ngan tpt lain, souvernir kat pisa agak murah la… lepas membeli-belah kami pun pulang… dekat florence kami makan tengah hari, then balik hostel. lepas rehat2 suma, we went out shopping, again. lol. bunyi mcm byk shopping je tp sbnrnya xde la mcm tu, sbenarnya kami byk ber-window shopping la drp real shopping..

McDonald’s dan Israel. Sudah-sudahlah memboikot tu.. Bukan betol pun!

hurm… tu la jangan boikot membuta tuli… dengar khabar angin terusla nak boikot.. apa guna blajar tinggi2??? kaji dulu dalam2 lain kali, dapatkan kepastian pihak2 terlibat. jangan sampai pihak2 tertentu tu terpaksa buat kenyataan macam ni sebab bisnes diorg dah rosak.

mungkin McD yg memberi saluran kepada israel tu mungkin mcD US or negara barat tertentu saja, tapi sebab dah nama pun kabar angin, semua mcD pun kena..

pasni, tanya mcD Russia plak diorg sumbang kat israel ke x…i dun thk so.

Italy Travel Diary I

26 Januari 2009 – Malpensa Airport, Milan.

teksi sampai depan hostel pukul 3.30 pagi. janji kol 4 pagi. taxi driver tu bole tahan gak hensemnya.. hehe.. baik plak tu.. kami sampai domodedovo airport, moscow sblm pukul11 pagi. flight pegi berlin pukul5 ptg. sampai kat berlin pon 5 ptg waktu berlin.. 2 jam je lbey kurang… kastam die scan aku ngn metal detector giler2.. org lain xcm tu pon.. cess, negara nazi ni mmg sgt prejudis thdp perempuan bertudung. xsuke! sampai malpensa airport, milan kol 8 lbey kurang… jumpe la group ila sume. kitorg pon berkampung kat airport smp pagi esok..

27 Januari 2009 – Milan

pukul8 pagi naek bas pegi bandar. sampai bandar ktorg pon terus beli tiket train ke italy. then kat stesen metro Stazione Centrale, Milan, ktorg bpecah ngn group ila n cari hostel masing2. hostel kami letaknya dekat ngn station Porta Genovia. sbrnya it is a studio apartment managed by – in our strongest opinion la – a gay couple. mereka ni sangat particular n mereka xnak kami kotorkan bilik tu. so kami semua sgtlah berhati2 bila nak guna toilet or dapur. tapi studio tu sgt cantik, plus ada flat-screen TV lagi, so we really liked being there.

After we checked in, we went out pergi ke the most popular attraction of the city; the Duomo & Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. kene tipu ngan orang hitam yg kononnya bg free bracelet then they demand money after they tied it tightly at ur wrist. lost 2 euro. jahat.. then we makan2. except william, we didn’t went inside Duomo, but the Galleria was really nice we took so many crazy pix along the way. here, we can find very expensive brands. after we jalan2 kejap n masuk kluar some kedai termasuk the ferrari store & AC milan fan shop along the street, we went back to our studio; makan n mandi2 before we go out to the Duomo to see the night view pulak. actually, we also planned to go to the other city’s attraction, the Castello, but we never really make it, coz we were having so much fun acting all crazy at the Vittorio Emanuele Street, which like the Galleria, is also the home of branded stuffs; except that we can afford some of them. but the real fun is just walking n enjoy milan’s best gelato and took weird pix as if thr’s nobody’s thr except us. then bila dah penat n risau metro tutup, we went back to our hostel. before that, we jalan2 around the neighbourhood. it was said that that area has the liveliest nightlife, but we didnt really see it. suma kedai pon tutup awal je…kekasih belanja ktorg turkish kebab.. sangat2 sedap…

28 Januari 2009 – to Venice

Pukul 7.30 kitorg dah check out dari aramis studio. tp before that we make sure kami dah bersihkan bilik tu just like when we 1st came. takut nnt kalo kotor die charge kat credit card plak.. then kami terus pegi ke Stazione Centrale… train pukul 9.30… turned out we came really early.. n the station dun hv heating system.. soo very cold la.. we bought some breakfast n eat. (u can oso see the pix from the Milano, Italy album.) from milan to venice ambik masa lbey kurang 3jam. bila sampai Santa Lucia Train Station, Venice, kami terus beli tiket boat. here, boats (i forgot what it called) play role as metro. unique, kan? Then we terus naik boat pegi San Zaccharia. Hostel kitorg dekat2 situ. kami sepatutnya check in pukul 3pm tapi kami terus mencari lokasi hostel kami supaya nnt tak kalut.

then we go makan2 at a restaurant. sedap, tp not worth the price. we kena tipu sampai €10 sorang… dah dekat pukul3 we pegi hostel, Maria dah tunggu kami kat situ. turned out we actually got an apartment and everythg in it for 3nights. we really2 LOVED the apartment!! after we rehat jap,we jalan2 n pegi ke supermarket n beli barang2 there. we masak2 sendiri je..serik dah kena tipu.

29 Januari 2009 – All of Venice!

awal2 pagi kami jalan2 pegi Piazza San Marco (st. mark square). it’s actually sangat2 dekat ngan our apartment that we jalan2 there every night after that. ambik2 gambar n then masuk dalam san basillica, since its free. then we masuk the doge’s palace n the prison. it’s nice la. william overheard a chinese uncle talked to his son that we r students who want to study art… muka kami bukan muka medic la, tp muka artis..hahaha… but really, dalam that museum mmg byk lukisan2 yg sgt2 cantik.. after the museum, we masuk 2 other museums. then we jalan2 the streets around st. mark square. went to the royal garden. then we went to santa lucia train station again to buy train ticket to Florence. we went to COOP again, buy some foods to cook n eat, then pegi balik rumah.

At around 6pm we went to meet zaid n nana @ the hard rock cafe. we jalan2 with them and got lost lalu pergi kat rialto bridge. then kami pun berpisah balik ke hostel masing2.. we planned to go to Murano Island the next day together with them. kami pun balik apartment, masak2, makan2, rehat2, mandi2 dan tidur…
