When living in Bologna I just loved the fact that friendly people would start talking to you absolutely everywhere.... Old men on the piazzas, young girls in the stores, old women on the bus etc
After deciding I would move to /Italy, but before I choose which city some people told me that the people in Milano are less open minded than in the rest of Italy. In Milano they would never start talking to you just like that on the street.... Yea right... It happens to me every single day. Obviously sometimes it annoys me but most of the time I love it.
Tonight I went for aperitivo with Ida, a Swedish girl who lives here in Milano that I've been in contact with online for a while. We went out for a drink to talk and to get to know eachother... As soon as we came to the bar someone started talking to us. We sat down at a table and managed to talk for maybe 10 minutes and then two guys comes up and decided to join our table. When they left we managed to talk another 5 minutes before three a bit older men sitting at the table next to us starts talking to us too. Incredible! It was a nice and interesting evening. Didn't get to know Ida very well but we're both here in Milano to stay so we got plenty of time for that later on :)
Time to sleep. Buona notte.

What mostly interested me was the fact that Italy is the country were less kids are born in the whole world. According my teacher its because the italian girls choose a career before kids. They have 9 months maturnity leave here and also the family normally helps out a lot so I don't see the point. But I was told the italian girls gets married quite young but that's enough, marrage but no kids. When I think about it the banker girls I was out with for dinner last weekend said they are looking for the love of their life but they don't want kids.... Seems like the Italians are in danger of becoming extinct???
Now I just came home, need to get change and then I go for "aperitivo dinner" with another swedish blogger who lives here in Milano :)

Miss love trying new things (me) obviously had to try it and... it was amazing. The icecream season is starting off soon and here in Milano there's no Lelio (my flatmate in Bologna) controlling me not to eat more than two icecreams a day like he had to do five years ago when I lived in Bologna ;) I can't help it, I just looooooove Italian icecream!!!

Erik woke me up at 10am this morning and after a quick breakfast we immediately went out. We've been walking from my house to the opposite side of town and we've seen lots of nice parks and piazzas on the way. Now we're having picknick lunch in front of castello Sforzesco and later we'll walk into the big park "parco sempione" looking for some icecream. Lovely day!!!

Today after the museum Erik and I walked around town for a while and then we started our search for a lunch place... Misson impossible... Easter Sunday in Milano and obviously everything's closed. We walked around for more than an hour on empty and dead streets and everything was mega closed. Then, suddenly in the middle of nowhere we saw an open place, the famous California bakery, like sent from heaven, haha. We ordered bagels and cappuccion's and it was amazingly good!!

Yesterday night was nice. Me and Giose, both new in Milano, decided we wanted to see corso como, which is a famous bar and club street/area. We went there, walked around for a while and choose a very cosy mexican bar. We had some mexican cocktails and snacks and just hanged out. As Giose had to work today we went home quite early and for once I was in bed already at 1.30am...
This morning I woke up quite early and started of the day cleaning my flat. Now Im having lunch, a lovely Piadina, and then I guess I just gonna watch a movie or some Gossip Girls episodes. Lazy day!
Later this afternoon Erik is coming from Sweden and he will be staying here for two days. Thanks god. All Milanesi people left the town for easter so Im happy to get some company :) Fingers crossed for some better weather though!!!

Happy Easter everyone!

Then the bloody TV... Does anyone know someone that could be interested to buy a 26" flatscreen TV?? Or can suggest how I could sell it, from here...???
Now Im sitting in the evening sun close to "porta Genova" waiting for a friend to go for an aperitivo. The school closed so I couldn't stay and go surfing so instead I have to sit here 20 min waiting like a freak. Maybe I should start doing my homework for tomorrow. An essay of 100-150 words of what I think about Italian people and especially Italian guys. Haha. The right girl to ask ;) I got lots to say anyway, looking forward to start writing!
Buona serata

Someone in school told me that I need it but that it's hard to get. I like challanges so obvisouly I wanted to get one. Today I went to the "agenzia delle entrate", talked to a young guy and 2 minutes later I had the paper with a this codice fiscale code in my hand. Very hard to get.... And now? What should I do with it? Haha.
Now Im sitting in the sun in a beautiful park that I found close to the imigration office. Should go to school but its so nice here... The sun is shining, the birds are singing and behind me two dogs are playing in a little river. Lovely!
Tonight Im going for aperitivo with some girls from school and later I will go out dancing with Gabrielle. Can't wait.

In both Stockholm and London obviously you need to be careful when crossing a street but you know the cars most probably won't hit you, even if you cross a street where there's no white lines. That's not the case here. Even if you cross a street on the zebra crossing you have to be bloody careful, both the cars and the motorbikes drives like mad and don't seem to care if they would hit someone... Crazy. I had to learn the hard way...

It was a great surprise when I return to Italy and saw that the show is still on. Unfortunately it's not as nice as in the old times where all contestants had to do everything, dancing, singing and acting. Now they just concentrate on one of the things/what they are good at which makes it a bit boring and also hard to judge. How can you say who's the best if one is dancing and the other one is dancing? Anyway, today is the final and obviously I had to stay home to watch it :) Forza Pierdavide!

My last two months in London were amazing, I guess among the best time I had in London. Since I took the decision to leave London I immediately stated to enjoy and appriciate everything I had much more. And, London is AMAZING. Then my friends, since they heard I was moving suddenly were there for me aaaaall the time making the best of the time we had left together. Then, I also met some new nice friends plus someone special and all these this together made my last weeks absolutely unforgettable. Parties, dinners and happenings every night... As I thought I would move to Milano, without knowing anyone, I would be sitting home by myself my first weeks and then I could make up for the lost sleep from London. I was wrong. Now I've been in Milano 8 days and I've been out dancing 6 of them. Now I'm exhausted, really!
Yesterday I had a good time anyway. I went out with some of Luigi's old friends who's from her. First I went for dinner in a nice little restaurant with three girls and two guys. After the dinner they convinced me to join to a club that I don't even remember the name of. It's a bit wierd to go out with a group of people you absolutely don't know but they were all very nice and brought me into the gang. I had a good time.
Now I've promised myself to spend at least two evenings home by myself, eating healthy and just relaxing! :)

Yesterday night I went out with Emelie and Julia. We ended up in a club called Plastic, a very cool but also quire wierd place. Like 90% of the guys were wearing super skinny jeans and converse (as you all might know I HATE converse on guys)... Then lots of them had that ultra nerdy style with big glasses which is popular in sweden. Gosh. Not my type really. Anyway, I had quite fun.
Today I woke up at 1.30pm. I made a piadina for brunch and had a quick shower before I went out. I justed wanted to go out walking and that's what I did. I walked for 1,5 hour hoping to reach the centre, but I didn't. I must have walked the wrong direction because suddenly as was outside Bocconi uni, totally wrong side of town. Thanks god for my best friend mobile phone that could help me to find the right way back thanks to the gps. Now I'm in town, sitting on a little piazza somewhere close to the duomo reading a magazine.
Tonight its Inter - Roma. First I toght of going there by myself (half price for girls on all inter games) but then Gabrielle convinced me it was too dangerous going there by myself supporting the opposite team. Can't believe Im here in Milano and will miss the game :(((

In London me and Ekko normally had very late lunch, around 2pm. Everyone else though that was so wrong as they prefered to eat at 12-1pm.... 2-3pm is normal lunch hour here.
I normally have dinner around 7.30-8 is I could choose. Here it seems to be normal to eat around 9-10pm.
Tonight Im going out with Julia and Emelie, the pre party starts around 10pm, that's more and less the same time we normally left for the clubs in London. Tonight we're planning to go to the club around 1-1.30am. So wierd but at least no stress!! Haha :)
Enjoy your friday guys.

Anyway, I've had a really good start, I really love Milano so far! I already met so many nice people and everyone are so helpful. Don't know what I would had done without Enzo, Valentina and Giose this weekend, they saved my life :)
On Monday I started school. I went up very early and went to school for the registration and introduction test.The test was divided into three parts, understanding, speaking and grammar. I passed the highest level on them all so I was put into the most advanced class with people that had lived in italy mor than three years. Thanks! My speaking might have been on the same level but all the grammar rules they studied the in the past year was like chineese for me. I took me two days to convince the teacher to change to to the intermediate class but today I'll finally start my new class. Lets see how it goes. On monday after school I first went for aperitivo with Emilie and Julia and then I went home to watch "Amici" on TV with my flatmate Francesca. Very nice day!
Yesterday I woke up sick, very sick. Could hardly move from bed. Even if I had lots of things to do I stayed home until I had to go to school. After my lesson I took a walk with Emilie to the centre where I finally sorted out my TIM mobile and internet on the phone. Yeeey!! In the evening I went for some drinks with Josefine and some other international students from school.
Today Im feeling a bit better. Yeterday I bought some very strong medicines that obviously must have helped. After school I will go shopping at the supermarket and for once cook and eat dinner at home. Later on I might go out dancing with Emilie and Julia, but depends how Im feeling.

Har varken haft ork eller tid att blogga eller lägga upp bilder de här sista dagarna i London, sorry.
Idag, sista dagen, har varit en bra dag. Imorse blev det lite mer fix med packningen. Sen hann jag med en timmes aerobicspass innan jag mötte upp Kristofer i Camden för en långpromenad längst kanalen till Little Venice och sedan tillbaka till Primrose Hill.
Ikväll hade jag min "leaving dinner". Vi var 17 stycken och vi var på Rosso Pomodoro vid Covent Garden. Mycket trevlig kväll men tiden gick på tok för fort.
Nu Ikväll har jag packat vidare. Suck. HATAR verkligen att packa och jag ser verkligen inte fram emot morgondagen på flygplatsen. Vad ska de säga. 5 stora väskor, två för att checka in och 3 handbagage. Vill inte ens veta den sammanlagda vikten på dem alla 5.... Största väskan väger numer 26 kg bara den och näst största 19kg.... what can I say...
Jag och mina 5 väskor

Jag vaknade tidigt och borjade dagen med att packa. It's a big mess! Mer uppdatering om packningen kommer imorn, lar bli panik... Mitt pa dagen drog jag pa mig vinterkladerna for att ga och luncha med tobbe, kom fram blot av svett och Tobbe kolla snett pa min dunjacka och halsduk. Han, liksom alla andra gick ju bara i en liten troja.Nu kan tom jag erkanna att varen har kommit till London!
Efter lunchen tog jag en liten varpromenad innan jag gick hem for att fixa vidare med alla saker. Paolo drog pa hog partymusik och snart var jag pa G och ville inte alls sitta hemma. Bjod over Tobbe som jobbar runt hornet och vi 3 delade en flaska champagne. Darefter blev det forst en snabb drink med Tobbe, Alex och Lucy i Marleybone innan jag akte till Shoredich for att traffa Alessandro och 4 fransyskor.
Trots att jag gillar att planera alskar jag sanna har spontana kvallar. Overraskningar ar kul! Skojig kvall och jag fick saga hejda till tva av mina favoritomraden i London; Marleybone och Shoredich.
Nu ar jag pa bussen hem, vill bara zzzzova. Sista dagen i London imorn :(((
Bacio e buona notte

Sen blev det sushilunch innan jag begav mig till frissören.
På kvällen var det middag med pappa och Adrienne på Koh Phangan inbokat. Det var jag som läst om restaurangen i en Brittisk restaurangguide och eftersom jag numer är helt frälst i thaimat var jag ju tvungen att testa det.
