Lugano & Milan

The next place we drove to was Lugano, a city very near to Milan, Italy. The people over there behaved more like an Italian, and drove like an Italian (just like how we are here in Malaysia) too. In other parts of Switzerland, the Swiss were more patient but not in Lugano. We rented a small house there and stayed for a week. I remembered it was one of the most expensive place we stayed, probably because it was near to Italy. 



In Lugano, we visited a nice  church, a chocolate factory and a miniature park. It was the first time I saw how chocolate were made, and we got to taste chocolates for free there. You can actually eat as much as you wanted to. The miniature park was fun too, because everything there were miniatures, even the trains, churches and everything else. 



 
We also took a train to Milan, Italy. It was a very very crowded place. I have never visited a city where there were sooooo many people. We were advised by the Italians that there was a lot of pickpockets there, and were supposed to be careful. I still remember on that day, the train drivers were to have a demonstration, and we were so worried that we will not be able to travel back to Lugano, but fortunately nothing happened. Milan was a beautiful city, but it is definitely a place where I don't think I would want to go back a 2nd time.
