Strolling Milan

Fresh vegetables and fruits in the morning...


On the second day, I woke up a little earlier... Breakfast at the hotel was merely hard breads & cereals, so we took a stroll out to the nearest McDonald's to have something hot. Since Milan was huge, we decided to dedicate the whole day to just wander around the city, or for two days if need be...

The shop next to our hotel...

I had some fries and a fish burger. Interestingly, they also offered artichoke sauce as well as asiago cheese, as part of their local McD's "Taste of Italy" promo campaign.

Most importantly, true to their distinct fine taste in culinary tradition, Italy's McD's serves fine coffee! Only now, could I say "I'm loving it"!


From this McDonald's, we walked on to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, the mother of all shopping malls in Milan. Here are some pictures taken on our way to the Galleria.

Without realizing it, we stumbled upon what we weren't looking for - the Bikkembergs store on Manzoni! That's the store with those light green and teal columns in the pic below...

Bikkembergs are hard to come by back home, so I guess I need to pick up a few things before I can peacefully enjoy the rest of Milan!

Via Monte Napoleone is an elegant street in Milan

Milan city is so shopper-friendly, with shops lining every street... and it's not uncommon to simply wander off not knowing which direction you were heading in, and before you knew it, you're already in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele!
