My Summer Trip

Yo wassup homie! HAHA. While most of my friends in the UK are already back to Malaysia, I decided, smart enough to go back slightly late (well 30 days late LOL) which is in the middle of July. Saja gedik nak rasa puasa kat sini haha. (18 hours fyi) #mampoo? So to fill my time, I just got back actually from my summer trip part 1 haha lol which were Nice, Monaco, Monte Carlo and Milan. Thanks to my friend Aliff Fuad who never gave up to pujuk me to go with him haha.

So this post is not to brag about where I went and such, just wanna share some of the things, good or bad that I observed during my stay there. So enough bunga bunga ni let's just get straight to the story shall we?

NICE

Nice = Malaysia That's for the intro haha. The nightlife, the weather, the market everything haha. Unlike here in the UK, the bars and restaurants won't closed until there is even one customer inside. The reason I knew was because my hostel was literally above an Irish bar. I don't think it's exaggerating for me to say that it's a food paradise there, especially the Old Town. But the food is quite expensive I must say. You're looking at 7- 10 euros per meal. The beach, well it's not that exciting to chill there I must say. It's rocky beach fyi, so yeah might wanna watch your step dude haha. But the water is clear tho. The city itself is very nice to walk around.

MONTE CARLO

If you ain't got no money then I don't wanna talk haha. Like seriously, the only reason of the cheap salon cars are available are because of the tourists renting the cars. Minus that, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche and other you-know-what-i-mean brands you will only see. If you wanna test just how rich you are, just spend an hour there HAHA. There were not many things to do there, for me, I went to see the collection of cars of Prince of Monaco, his castle and also the world famous bend for the F1. And please don't go to the Japanese Garden, it's like really nothing there. And if you have the money just take the train. The bus is cheap but man the queues are like hell. Compared to Nice and Cannes, I must say the water is the clearest here. Overall, you should go to Monte Carlo. Just... be there.

CANNES

Yeah Mr Bean right?! I know haha. The only problem I had was only the journey was too long for me (almost 2 hours). The sandy beach there was perfect for swimming and man the ice cream there is very good! (me loikee mango) Too bad we don't the time to go to the place where they held the film festival though. But hanging in the beach of Cannes kot, what more can i ask? HAHA

MILAN

Quite excited to go here actually cause I take some Italians back in the Uni, so tak sabar to put it to the test haha. First the guest house that I was staying, it was perfect. The wi-fi, the location and the room itself were very nice! Plus the transport system here is very efficient but is not very strict as well. You can simply take a tram and not paying an euro at all. Tapi kitorang tak buat la haha LOL. When speaking of Milan, the first thing came to all our minds is the Cathedral aka Duomo. Il Duomo is very nice I could not agree more. The statue, details of the building are to good to be true, but the people around there really worried me. There were some Africans I think, attacked us at the exit of the metro station near the Duomo. By attack I don't mean rob jgan rsau haha. They forced us to buy their some kind of stupid and ugly bracelet and keep following us until we were about to enter the Duomo. Luckily nothing happened to us but still, this leaves bad reputation for people who are about to visit Milan. Same thing at the Milan Centrale. Foreigners like literally sleeping outside the station, peeing and even pooping there. I find this is very rude for a person to do this let alone a foreigner. The government should do something about this I must say. Moving on, about the food, memang tak payah risau. The price is alright and for muslims, halal foods are everywhere.

To conclude, I am proud to say this trip went well haha. Loving every single moment of it. And I learnt a lot as well, from the places, the people, the museums and even the transport system lol haha. Finally I would to say, just travel! Don't worry about money, because you can always work for money, but not for memories. TATA! :D
