Waiting for the bus like a Swede...

My son showed me this on Reddit. Hahaha. There is actually some truth to it, and then once the bus comes they probably sit as far from each other as possible. Here in Milan, people are to busy socializing to queue up, and when the tram comes, everybody is surprised and there is a mad scramble for the doors. I seem to always have the weirdest conversations on the tram. Yesterday I was late for a meeting, and the driver was really slow, missing every single green light. The lady next to me started explaining me that it was because Jesus stopped loving us. And the proof of that (apart from the tram getting stuck at every red light) was the cold snap we are having, the economic crisis and all earthquakes. Despite the late tram, I made it on time to the meeting, so maybe Jesus loves me a little bit after all :) Happy Friday everyone!

Lazy Saturday

A nice and lazy Saturday Brunch at Dulcis in Fundo. I love the atmosphere here, with vintage furniture and a nice garden. It is a bit out of the way, beyond the central station, but they have free parking in the courtyard.

Mercatone dell antiquariato

On Sunday I went to the antique market in the Naviglio. The market is every last Sunday of the month along the banks of the canal. It is one of my favorite markets in the whole world. A crazy mix of junk, expensive antiques and vintage design. I really wanted to buy that chair, but it was a bit too expensive. If it is still there next month, maybe he will bargain with me. Naviglio is lovely area, even if there is no market, full of cafes, bars and design shops.

Cable Car Restaurant

One of the great things with Milan are the cable cars. They have been running since the beginning of the century, and many of them are really old, with a lot of original features. There is even a Cable Car Restaurant, and I have been wanting to try it for a long time. We did it with some friends last weekend, and it was great. Such a special experience, having a nice dinner with wine while watching Milan at night pass by. The trip took a couple of hours, around in the center of Milan, and it costs 65 euro per person, regardless of what you eat. There are three set menus to choose from, Meat, Fish or Vegetarian. The food was not excellent, but it was definitely worth it for the experience. If you want to give it a try, you need to book well in advance, it is almost always full.

Museo del Novecento

I finally went to visit the new "Museo del Novocento". It opened just before christmas. I am so happy to have seen it, it was amazing!!!i There is artwork owned by the Milan city hall, previously stored in other museums. Most of it are by Italian artists, except for a couple of Picassos and others. I covers art from the early 1900 to the 80s, and it is in the very center of Milan, on Piazza Duomo. I discovered some amazing Italian artists I never new before. If you ever come to Milan, don't miss it! And you are allowed to take photos :) , so I could share these with you. (taken with my iphone, so the quality is not the best...)

My office

Summer is here and I love being able to work from home. This is my office today (and my assistant, hard at work)
