The reason going back to Milan was rather because I was missing the people from Vilnius than catching a cheap flight back to Kiev. Although, I had the great opportunity to stay at a friends place I knew from Vilnius. At that time we were working together in Jimmy Jumps where she now works at one of the world best rated hostels in Milan – Hostel Bello. Anyway, I could enjoy a couch in a private home. A great place well located near the center next to ‘Porta Romana’ just a quick walk to all the things around.

At the moment Milan is kind of a mess. Preparing itself for the international Expo’15 which soon takes place all around the center. The Expo Gate in Piazza Castello is almost finished but beside that many more construction places have to be done. Fixing a piece of broken street here, build a exhibition house there, renovate a public building over there and so on …

Around all the construction places are for sure also many places to see. Some of them well visible others are hidden like this one inside of a Basilica. Couple of nice skulls and there were many more.

But Milan is also a popular place for international exhibition. Kristina was sending me to this one which was really worth to see it. It was about design. From random sculptures to a gigantic 3D-display, from an abstract endless stairway to functional interior designs and also some solutions for the future rooftop farming. To my surprise was Panasonic around with a couple of solutions. Lightning which makes sense but also some kitchen furniture which was pretty cool.

Allover, my second Milan visit was more than just getting lost like at the first time. Its worth to spend more than just two hours in this city 😉
