okay. trip review number 2. hmmm. italy was great. or to be precise, milan and florence. the first 2 days were spent in florence and the rest were spent in milan. we went shopping and went to this huge shoe fair where buyers frm all over the world come and buy shoes to sell for the autumn/winter season. it was really fun. the indian influence was really strong and showed a lot on the designs of the shoes. the metallic coloured shoes are slowly making their appearance on the scene. guess i was pretty lucky to get to go on this trip. gotta thank my mum for that. she brought me along to help her. well, if you call sleeping in all the booths 'help'. lol. mm. i got to see like one of the most important fashio streets in the world.. it was pretty cool. like the orchard road of italy except wayyyyy bigger and more important. lol. mm. the flight there was about 13-14 hours. sat in a really nice plane. thai airways. the seats were really wide and comfy. had a really good entertainment system too. so good that i didnt sleep throughout the flight and now ive got hedious panda eyes. gahh. aint that a bitch. the weather was really cold. it really sucked at night. worse thn nz. in nz you cld at least walk around in shorts at night. you so cant do that in italy. all your leg hair wld freeze and you wld probably get raped to top it off. it was really dry there. my skin started peeling and all. it was sooo bad. aye. the guys were hot though. worth the 14hr plane ride there. i saw the statue of david in florence. he's not bad looking aye. lol. saw the famous churches and all. but i wonder why some of the ancient statues look like they're having an orgy. gee. shopping was good. hell yeah. all in all. i wouldnt mind doing it all over again.
