I attended a meeting among tanneries in Italy in Milan yesterday. There were this 2 girls who are so 'rompe coglione'(it means 'testicle breaker' in Italian. A way to describe person who's difficult to deal with..) that kept the meeting going on and on without a conclusion just because they insisted that their 'suggestions' are the best and that they want the association to use theirs....BOH! We were starving and so we made a decision.... 1.....2......3....we picked up our bags and headed to the door. poooooohhhhhhh...I was wearing a tank top and eventhough it's already mid May now, the temperature is still around 20 and the air was chilly...we headed to a Pizzeria and feast! Eikeikeik...
My collegues took the train right after lunch to go home. I have to stay until 5.30 instead to meet an Austrialian for a book sale. She is selling me 12 books for 50euro, not a bad deal huh?! So, I have a walk around the Duomo, bought LOTS of stuff at H&M...and my feet hurt so much..:( She came 15mins late but I was able to catch my train so that's fine.
The train was full, and there's a lady who kept on talking sitting beside me in the same compartment...I was tired and trying to read but she just can't keep her mouth shut!!! Others are listening to her but I'm sure they are their thoughts were the same as mine! She talked about her city Bolzano, how different it is comparing to Milan - a city with no life, of which people live to work and then they go away during holidays..why Italian prefer to go overseas for holiday when their own country is a paradise..(This I can tell her why...it's because travelling in Italy is too expensive! You can't have maximum fun when you have to look at the price wherever you go. In the end only German, English, Swiss and of course Americans, can afford to travel here!), and she talked about books she read, her favorite book that talks about Sicily etc etc etc..... At one point, the train was stopped...and the annouce said that the railway is broken, they are trying to fix it but no one knows how long would it take...fine... I kept reading...
Then another announcement... that the we are going to stay there for an hour...Jesus!! And she kept bla bla blaing.... My ears suffer...but the train was full, I'm not able to find another seat...
An hour later, the train got going agian, but there's an hour journey ahead... therefore, I made the decision to leave. I took my bags, and left the compartment. I know it was obvious that I leave because of her, but if I stay, I think I'll get crazy when I arrive...
I got home at 8, tired as hell...had some meatballs, went to Just do it - the internet cafe, get a DVD my friend rented for me, stayed there till 11...went home, and ZZZ...zzzz..ZZZz...zz......
Arghh....Trenitalia....you suck!
