How you find my previous post about my first day at Milan? :)
Was started to work in the next day i reached here, Monday.
So we were going to work at 8am and managed to reach at 10smth.
Haha..Obviously we were lost again coz we're all first time here!
Oh just for you info, i came here with another Malay colleague, Hadi.
So, first week was kinda blur, just managed to get know the colleagues here.
Cut the words short, start my travel journey then.
After a week of working, we managed to ask around where to go during weekend.
Everyone told us have to go Duomo for a visit as it's the landmark of Milan.
We went out at 10smth in da morning to the nearest Metro station.
It's actually 2 minutes walk from our residence. The Turro station.
Standard Urban Ticket cost around EUR 1 to anywhere u want to go.
The ticket can last for one time journey to whenever u want.
But it can only last for 75 minutes.
This is the Duomo, landmark of Milan!
We were so impressed by the building once you come out from the Metro underground station at 'Duomo' station.
This is seriously very remarkable and amazing building!
Wiki Definition for Duomo:

Tips to travel in Milan Tourist point:
This is a real case i met in Duomo Church. Whenever some African guys approach you with a friendly tone or other, please just say NO and ignore them no matter how they talk to you. Especially when they give you a small bracelet and claimed it was a 'Free gift' from them. Because once you take it, and they will start to ask for donation.
I've personally met this and they just grab my EUR20 and walked away. I was so helpless coz they persuade my fren, Hadi to walk away and they started to claimed money from me. I'd no choice but to give them my smallest note in my pocket at the moment. I was so regret for not bringing small coins out that day. *Knock my head*
So, please make it clear in mind that "there's no free lunch in the world."
After the incident and i just said NO to ANYONE who approach to me especially blacks.
