MILAN, ITALY




Jalan jalan sekitar Milan pada 24 Jul 11.



Bandar Milan, tak banyak terdapat bangunan bangunan tinggi, masa ni weekend, orang ak ramai dan kedai kedai belum buka lagi.

The Central Station, tempat nak naik keretapi untuk ke bandar bandar besar lain seperti Rome, Venice dan lain lain lagi.

Terjumpa satu park yang besar, warga Milan mengambil kesempatan untuk berjemur dalam panas summer di park ini.

Halal food available here.

Good bye Milan, pemandangan dari atas semasa berlepas pulang dari lapangan terbang Milan Malpensa.
