Check-in the hostel.

Waited for cindy and esther from Paris.

There was a poem reciting session in Duomo Milano but there was only for those being invited.

We went to the oldest shopping mall in the world-galleria vittorio.we stepped on the genital area of a bull on the ground as there are sayings that doing this will give us luck.

Then back to hostel.

Second day 13 March

After having breakfast in the hostel,we headed to Museo Theatre La Scala but we did not enter. Then,we went to Santa Maria delle Grazie for the famous 'Last Supper' painting by Leonardo da Vinci and also the 'Cruxifixion of Christ'.It costs 15euro as we bought online (it is much expensive) and quite last minute.There are some interesting points that I just knew.The lady like apostle at the right side of Jesus (view anteriorly) is John. And Judas is holding a money bag in his hand,with a bottle of salt in front of him. Salt is a symbol of betrayal in past. Peter is holding a knife pointing away from Jesus, as he is the one to cut the ear of an army when Jesus was being taken away after the last supper. Thomas is the one at Jesus's right side,pointing his index finger. From the painting, we can see the apostles are grouped in 3, and also the figure of Jesus in a triangular shape, this signifies the Trinity.

Also,we went to Cimitero Monumentale which is the second largest cemetery in Italy. A number of famous figure such as poets are buried there. I am amazed by the tombs as they are well preserved and nicely maintained.

After having dinner,we took train to Venice.
