If you're in Milan during September, take a trip to Monza and watch the Formula 1 race. That is, of course, if you like this sort of event. I will never forget jumping on to the Monza circuit after the race and running towards the podium to see the winners up close. Flags waved, everyone was trying to get on national tv and I managed to take a picture on pole position.
When Dining In A Milanese Restaurant/Cafe...
by Krystynn
If you're dining in a Milanese restaurant or cafe, do remember that if you fill your wine glass to the brim, you are effectively sending out a silent message to your hosts, friends and waiters that you don't know where your next glass of wine is coming from. In other words, you are telling them you have no money in your bank account and this is a sign of poverty.
I know, I know... the cultural difference can be mind-boggling. So, it's always good to read up before embarking on a trip, OK?
I have seen some tourists very guilty of this act - especially the Asians and some Americans. Sorry, but it's true! I caught so many of them doing this. Sometimes I get very embarassed on their lack of table manners. Sigh.

Alcatraz Awaits The Party Animal In You...
by Krystynn about Alcatraz...
No, don't worry. I'm not sending you to prison just yet (read: Alcatraz, off San Francisco, USA)...
I'm now talking about THE famous club - ALCATRAZ here in Milan - a club with that cool post-industrial, techno-fortress
decor! Very unique.
Those wishing to protect their delicate ear-drums from the pounding rock, retro, house and techno beats emitting from its walls can head straight to the sound-proofed pub in the center of the venue, where live R'n'B and swing bands perform.
I don't really like to hang out in this part of the club though. I'm currently into Linkin Park... so you can more or less guess which section of this club I'll be in. Yeah, and that's where you'll find me. Fashionable club wear, please.
The most used transport
by desert_princess
you will see them everywhere - it seems that these motors are the most used type of transport by the locals. they are manoeuvrable throught the narrow central streets , don't need alot of place to be parked and can be used by two persons awell - conclusion : perfect for the summer.
