Short, Sweet & Flirty in Milan
Buongiorno! My taxi driver beamed at me from across his seat. He was a happy chappy, full of vivre and a demon at the wheel. Brakes? Brakes are only used when elderly Italian mamas stroll out onto the road. I landed in Milan this afternoon and within two minutes of sitting in his cab, I wondered if I'd survive the trip to my hotel. I did. Just. And I'm glad I did because I learnt five important things within the first five hours of my trip.
1. Caldo = Hot in Italian (very useful for describing the weather and like...)
2. Volto perplesso = perplexed face (very useful for tweeting...)
3. Caffe alle ginsang = very sweet, short and tasty coffee (try it! )
4. Via della Spiga is the shopping street in Milan! Ahem...no explanation required.
5. Italians have the loveliest smiles! Oh, and for the record, -yes, all Italian men openly check you out...yes my dears, shameless but amusing all the same.
Photocredit via yours truly, snapped en route to supper tonight.
A/N: Happy Monday! I'm posting late but am on the fly today. Happy Birthday to my lovely friends in America, trust you all celebrated well! And have a splendid writerly week where ever you are on this beautiful planet. Ciao!

Baiba, Oh you are so close to Italy! Lucky girl! Its been hot so far so lots of melting on my part...though a good excuse for a gelato in the afternoons. ;-)
Dellgirl, thank you too. Every day on this earth, I intend to learn something new. ;-)
Lisa, ciao! I will have to take more pics in my downtime here, there's some lovely parts of the city to stroll through in the evening. I like! ;-)
