An impulsive decision to visit Milan, Italy with my cousins Noemi, Ariel and Apple on an otherwise ordinary weekend. The weather there was soooooo fine, just a little warmer than Paris, but still cold in the early mornings. This is also the first time I saw our distant relatives, Tita Au, Jing, her husband Mark, their daughters Alysson and Gene, and Toto - after they've all migrated to Milan, Italy. We (Alan, chichi and I), Noemi and Ariel, all spent Saturday night at Tita Au's place, together with their old-time friends, Virgie and her hubby, Jay with their son AJ, and Toto's girlfriend Shirlene. That night the barkadas also held a slumber/drinking" party for us. Lunch, dinner, pulutan, and the Sunday brunch all courtesy of Jay and his wonderful talent in cooking.
The next day, Sunday, was the sightseeing and picture-taking day. We went to visit the Piazza Duomo and its famous Duomo Cathedral, which was once the largest cathedral in the world, but still remains to be the largest cathedral in Europe. Fiive steps from the Duomo square is the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele... not a gallery, but literally Milans' Champs Elysees. Then off to the Castelo Sforzesco, part of Milan's renaissance architecture which now houses several museums. Kinda like Paris' The Louvre.

THESE SHOTS were taken using three different cameras, hence the different image qualities of each photos. Needless to say that qualities of the shots also depend on the photograpther's (which we're not) ability to take good shots at good angles with good lighting... which, ofcourse neither I, nor my husband, possess. So we just posed and fired away at the cameras. Enjoy!
