Time To Say Goodbye - Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman


Of course Sarah Brightman is extraordinary. I'm also delighted to learn that a blind person like Andrea Bocelli has such a grandeur and beautiful voice. Don't let your limitations limit yourself :)

Milan


One thing I noticed about Europe
is that many countries use negative
integers to denote underground floors,
such as "-1" in the above picture. Normal
people won't understand why "-1" is a
lot sexier than "U1" to nerds like me :P


As many of you know, Europeans take
summer vacation to enjoy their lives. This
shop was closed from August 7 to 31. Can
we have something like this in the U.S.?

Street view outside the Milan Cathedral

Milan Cathedral

Tourists have the choice to pay more to
take an elevator to get to the top of the
cathedral but we decided to take the
stairs as we thought that it'd be "fun"

I love the arches

A view of the square from above

It turned out that it wasn't
that "fun" to climb 100+ stair
steps. But the view there was
worth it :)

Italians aren't that good at English in
general. They got us the wrong pizza
even though we pointed at the picture
of the one we wanted. Well, it was still a
Milan pizza and pretty yummy :)
