Italy is dirty

So, last weekend 14 of my american friends and I flew to Milan, Italy. The entire trip ended up costing me 250 euros, which isn't bad for flight, hotel, entertainment and food. Too bad Italy is really expensive and dirty and I didn't have a very good time. It reminded me of a really expensive Mexico. Milan is the fashion capital of the world, so there was lots of Gucci and all that crap. It was a very touristy town. The food was good, but not what I expected. I paid 25euros to get into the "best" club in Milan, which was also the worst club I've ever been to. All the guys looked gay, literally with their slicked back hair, large diamond earrings, big designer glasses, and "fashionable" clothes. The only reason I would want to go back is to see the original painting of the Last Supper which is in a small church there, but has a month waiting list to see, and to see an Italian opera, but I might just see one in Rome or Venice which I plan to travel to this spring.

The good part of the trip was seeing the Duomo, which is the world's 3rd largest church. It is absolutely beautiful. You look at it and it doesn't seem real. It seems like you are looking at a postcard. There was also a castle that was pretty neat. I have lots of pictures that I will post after I filter through them and upload.
