...I lived in Milan for two years when i was age 7 and 8, we had to move out there because of my dads job. When we first moved there we had to stay in a kind of hotel/bording house called the "Prince Pesse Catilda" translated into english as the "Building of Shit" my bed was a broken bit of drifwood that pulled/collapsed off the wall and the bathroom was more like a sunked ship.
Anyway after living/surviving there for six weeks we moved into a luxery appartment allong Vialle Montello right next to Parko Sempioni. Parko Sempioni was an oasis in Milan, full of happy children and ducks!(although after a resent visit last year where i almost got mugged i have now changed my mind!!) In the park was the main Arena where the apparently used to hold great sea battles, yeah SEA battles. They used to floor the Arena and reinact...

...i visited milan for a weekend in august last year and love the city. very crowded and busy place but a worthwhile experience. beautiful people walking around everywhere and great if hot and sunny. duomo (catherdral) is breathtaking and one can get great photos of this "asian-esque" looking building.

...many times a day to make a decent living.
The airport itself boasts a wonderful new Terminal 1 which is used by Alitalia mainly but also by BA who I was flying with. It seems to be most used for scheduled flights. The terminal looks like the one in the Thunderbirds TV series. It is very modern and futuristic. The arrivals floor is typical airport chic of marble. My baggage arrived quite quickly but a colleague I was waiting for off a different flight had to wait an hour holding us up. BA 1 Alitalia 0. Whilst waiting I had a pleasant plate of pasta in Spizzico which is a pizza and pasta place. It was reasonably priced at about £3.50 for the pasta, a soft drink and a dessert and good quality. I had booked a car though Europcar and the collection of that went well. Alas the main gripe I have about Milan airport though would be the appalling...

I had heard some mixed reports about Steven Speilberg and Tom Hanks latest collaboration, but was sufficiently intrigued to add it to my DVD rental list.
Tom Hanks plays Viktor Navorski from the small independent (and fictitious) state of Krakozhia more
