This weekend my parents visited me here in Milan, arriving on Friday morning and leaving Monday afternoon. Friday evening I just put my apartment at display followed by aperitivo. It quickly turned out that they also enjoyed the concept so we ended up having aperitivos every evening.

As for sight seeing, it’s no secret that Milan doesn’t offer all that much so we focused around the old area of Brera, which I have visisted a few times, and the Duomo. The Duomo is one of the largest churches in the world (either is or used to be the 3rd largest after Rome and Sevilla) and it has 3500 statues on the outside. As a result, the inside which can contain some 40000 people, is not all that interesting. The main attraction of the church is the ability to walk on the roof. The view, one of the highest in Milan, is amazing.

It’s been slow on updates lately. Basically we entered “everyday” life with following lectures, doing group works, and partying or at least going out for a few drinks 5 times a week. And as the “everyday” life doesn’t warrant camera’s as much, I haven’t had much to update.

Never the less, here are a few pictures from two nights out. The first three are from the Armani nightclub which is a really exclusive club in the basement of the Armani store here in Milan. Girls can get in for 10€ while guys more or less have to purchase a table at 30€ per person. There’s only two pictures from inside as the guards were quick to tell us to stop taking pictures. It was a good night, but not something you do every day. The remaining pictures are from a running dinner. We were a few groups who had dinner in various places so my group had the entry at my place, then we moved for the main course and finally desert in a last place.
