Chapter 452 - Buy Online to Chop It Essentially
Tiramisu, the representative of Italian desserts, is smooth and sweet, soaked in Espresso and Masala to bring a rich variety of textures. If there is any difference between it and the domestic bakery, it is that the domestic one tastes similar to the texture of a cake, and here it is an authentic Italian tiramisu, which is closer to the sweetness and softness of ice cream.
The crooked nuts are all in groups of three or five, and they like to chat, and everyone is around there to talk and chatter, chattering, and the expressions are rich and randomly played. That's good, Xueluo and Dong Qingmei like to look at their phones when they get together, laugh at themselves, and have to change. When I came to the lake, the sun was shining just now, but the sky was gloomy after a while, and the most boring thing about traveling was the rainy day.
Not only is it cold, but the effect of the film is also discounted. If time permits, be sure to take a boat cruise for 1-2 days to experience Lake Como, Snow Fall and Winter Sunny Beauty originally had this plan, but it was really too tiring to experience a long flight, plus the impact of jet lag, so I simply walked around Lake Bellagio at will. Como is Milan's backyard.
Italian celebrities are proud to own a villa on the shores of Lake Como. The lounging mode is actually very suitable, a huge Como Lake, the attractions are not finished, and the cards are not finished, it is better to slow down the pace and savor the present. At around 420 meters deep, Lake Como is the deepest lake in Europe. The surface of the lake is as smooth as satin.
A tranquil force emerges, and the wind from the Alps in the distance brings the crisp air to your face. Since ancient times, it has also been a place where various princes and nobles have competed to build mansions and villas, and they have been hidden among the green mountains and green waters after reading the prosperity of the world. Sitting on a wooden bench by the lake and looking at the deep water of the lake always gives people an infinitely beautiful feeling.
In fact, the days in Italy in May are very long, and it doesn't start to get dark until 8 o'clock at night. Because the snow fell, the two were so sleepy that they went back to sleep early in the morning before it got dark. The time jumped to the next morning, in fact, the snow fell and woke up at half past four in the middle of the night, and the six-hour time difference was no joke at all.
The important thing is to remember to turn off your mobile phone or mute it at night, because the middle of the night in Italy happens to be the domestic morning, and the midnight time is still international and you really want to receive a sales call...... Speaking of breakfast, it is not a particularly nice thing to eat breakfast in Europe, either hard bread (except croissants) or soft bread.
It's not a boring dead man's salad or a sweet dead man's jam, as well as a variety of bacon or sausages, eat one or two barely acceptable, I can't stand eating it every day~ But the Italian coffee culture can be given a like! The hotel's automatic coffee machine is really enjoyable, one key automatically mixes espresso and milk foam in proportion, and easily produces a variety of high-level lattes.
Cappuccino is still very cool. Yesterday I had planned to get up early the next day to go on a cruise, but it started to rain early in the morning, who said that it rarely rains in Italy in May? The plan was completely disrupted by the weather, and I simply went back to Milan after breakfast. Lake Como, however, has water and lakes like Como, and the early morning is also covered with white mist.
Entwined between the distant mountains, it looks like a fairyland. Lake Como is a deep lake with beautiful Alps and white yachts lining its shores. If there is another villa, cover your eyes~ This life is also good. Lake ComoLake Como Lake Como Lake Como Lake Como Lake Como Lake Como Lake is actually not enough of Lake Como, and the hazy weather also affects the landscape.
But how can things be completely as you wish? Since the snow falls under hypnosis, there should be a chance in the future~ Well, on the way back to Milan, Milano drove back to Milan, and the road was still dripping. An Audi A5 in front of the car, in fact, a sedan is quite rare in Italy, and the A-class hatchback is the mainstream here. In Italy's big cities, the metro is more convenient than driving.
In addition to restricted ZTL areas, which tend to be places with a high concentration of attractions, there are also outrageous parking fees. So choosing a hotel that is away from the center, has free parking, and has a metro nearby is the right way to start a road trip in Milan. Hilton Garden Inn North, the price is 50 euros/night.
There is a metro station less than 200 meters from the hotel and 6 or 7 stops from the cathedral. Italy has subways in Milan and Rome, and you can see this red sign like the McDonald's M. The interior of the Milan metro is old-fashioned, and there are basically no guardrails. That's.
The largest Gothic building in the world and the second largest Catholic church in the world after St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Absolutely Milan landmark buildings, all kinds of disaster films will generally be ruthlessly destroyed ~ It was originally built in 1386 and completed in 1897 after nearly 500 years, that is, from Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Look at the sunny day, in fact, this set of photos was taken a day later before the snow fell and Dongqingmei left Milan. The cathedral on the real day was such a scene, and the style of painting was completely different. There are a lot of entertainers around the church, and if you want to take pictures, you can tip a little. I didn't think about the tip when I took a picture when the snow fell.
No wonder the guy in this photo has been staring at the snow falling~ The head is dull, please don't blame the big brother. In Europe, the square pigeon is the legal citizen here. I have always heard that there are many gypsies in the square who extort money under the guise of peddling pigeon feeding, but in fact, the pigeons are not picky eaters at all, and they can be fed casually by buying two packs of biscuits at a nearby convenience store.
You can't provoke them. When you get closer, you will be struck by its ornate appearance, with its intricately carved pointed arches, pilasters, and flowered window lattices. The exterior walls are all made of marble, and it is known as the poem of marble, which is a huge work of art in itself. In total, there are more than 2,000 statues on the exterior of the church, all carved out of marble.
If you include the internal statues, there are more than 6,000 statues in total, making it the most sculpted building in the world. The ticket to enter the cathedral is 2 euros, and the church implements crowd control to enter in batches, and the queue for ticket purchase has already been lined up in several S-shapes, and it is not a comfortable thing to queue up with an umbrella. Take a tour inside the church.
The pillars on both sides are aligned to form a tendency to lead from the entrance to the altar. Worship is going on inside. Hymns and arias come in bursts, filled with a solemn religious atmosphere, and the singing permeates the body and mind, as if everyone is going to be baptized, and even those who do not understand Catholicism can easily be infected by this pious power.
However, for some non-religious tourists (lying gun), the baptism effect lasts for up to 10 minutes, pretending to be pious and coming out after listening to it~~, what should I do. Legend has it that there is a nail on the roof that kills Jesus, and the congregation takes it off to worship for three days a year in honor of Jesus. The interior is about 130 meters long and 59 meters wide.
The highest point at the top is 45 meters above the ground. The grand hall is divided by four rows of columns, all made of large blocks of granite and clad in marble, which together support a vaulted roof weighing 14,000 tons and form five corridors. With an area of 11,700 square meters, it can accommodate nearly 40,000 people, if you count the population of Milan at that time.
It is estimated that it will have to be gathered to be full. The interior of the church is inlaid with stained glass on both sides, and these large stained glass windows are also a significant decorative feature of Gothic architecture. Pieces of stained glass carved with various floral figures tell different stories. Uh-huh~ Students, Xueluo and Dong Qingmei have started class.
In the middle of the front square is a bronze equestrian statue of Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of the unification of Italy. On the other side is of course the Arcade of Emanuele II, known as the Milan Drawing Room. The promenade arcade is cross-shaped and is also the most prosperous place in Milan and is said to be the oldest shopping mall in the world.
But the snow falls and the winter is beautiful just to see, who wants to carry a bag of heavy stuff at the beginning of the trip? There is a famous picture of a bull in the arcade, and it is said that if you step on it with your heel and turn it three times, luck will befall you. If you look closely at the unlucky cow's Ding Ding has been trampled on, it must be a pain in the heart.
Finally, a few bright photos neutralize the gloomy painting style, showing the appearance of the square of the cathedral square. The day of the cathedral was a race day. The snow falls and the winter is beautiful, and the purple line of the metro line 5 goes directly to San Siro. In fact, Xueluo and Dongqingmei wanted to go by car, but they just stayed in the cathedral for too long.
I was worried that it would be too late to pick up the car at the hotel, so I took the subway directly. The San Siro platform is full of elements of the two teams of Milan, and the charm of football culture is evident everywhere. Milan has been getting farther and farther away from the Champions League in recent years, and hopes that Milan can rise again as soon as possible after being acquired by the Celestial Empire. As soon as Milan exits the metro, you can hear the sound of singing coming from the stadium not far away.
Fans are crowded outside the stadium, everyone is filled with a sense of happiness like a holiday, and every place reveals the charm of top football culture. I don't know the genuine pirated version of the off-field jersey, but since they are all here to buy it, why not go to the official store. Lunch is served directly at the kiosk outside the stadium for 5 euros for a panini.
Sandwiched between ham, tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, oregano, or lemon, green peppers, baby artichokes... It also tastes salty and delicious. Although Milan has become a Mi Dick in recent years, and Milan's performance this season is also lackluster, the Champions League is hopeless, and the ball market is also slightly bleak.
But Xueluo and Dongqingmei don't really have too many extravagant hopes, they just want to fulfill the wishes they have had since they were young. The stadium is full of beer, chips and cola, and the best-selling thing is beer. ,Milansoloconte!
The chorus of the audience was about to explode. When reporting the starting list, the whole audience shouted the name of every Milan player, Ba ~ Lo ~ ~ Te!!! Li~~~ Desi ~~ Li~~~ Austria !! is roughly this tune. The famous AC Milan fans in the south stand, all of whom sit on it, are die-hards. Snow falls on the side of the south stand.
The momentum felt directly is terrifying, always a neat song and a flying flag. There is a small number of fans of the away team Frosinone in the North Stand. The players entered and shook hands. Xueluo and Dong Qingmei sat in the second-floor stands of the rostrum, not far away, Desiglio, Wen Wenmeng.
The familiar figures of Ba Shen are clearly recognizable. The game begins! The Milan goal was pierced less than a minute into the game, and this helpless figure was the 16-year-old Milan goalkeeper Donnarumma, who was younger than Buffon on his debut. Ba Shen and Taijun are pondering how to take a free kick.
In fact, the experience of watching football live and watching TV is too different, and the sense of the overall situation is too strong. Looking at it, Ba Shen is actually good, running actively and daring to take the ball, I feel that it is the only technical fulcrum of Milan on the field. The feeling of watching the game is shocking, especially when the referee shows that the referee is against the home team's decision, and the whole stadium will be deafening booing.
At the same time, he roared an Italian word, although he didn't understand what it meant, but guess it was a black whistle or something. In fact, in addition to the referee, the player's mistakes were also booed badly, Montolivo was booed all over the field because of a ball stop, and the pressure on San Siro was great. This eldest sister has been shouting ForzaMilan!
Xueluo and Dongqing Mei also followed: Milan were 2-0 down, but Balotelli's penalty was accurately blocked by Baldi and then shot high. If Balotelli is a little more restrained, if Balotelli can be a little diligent, Xueluo thinks that Balotelli is really the world's top striker. In the 50th minute, the opposing goalkeeper Baldi blocked and broke off.
Baca quickly followed up and made it 1-2 into the empty net. However, only five minutes later, the big colander Alex was itchy again, and directly leaked people to give the other party a single knife, and Aha was 1-3 again. In the 73rd minute, Antonelli, who had just come on the court, received a corner kick and stopped the ball on his chest and hit the net with a barb to break the net 2-3. In the 90th minute, Mane equalized from the penalty spot to make it 3-3.
At the last moment, almost the whole team of Milan went up to fight back wildly, and in stoppage time, Ba Shen rushed forward with the ball, but the front Baca ran directly offside, and Ba Shen could not directly choose to break through and hit the crossbar directly with a burst shot, losing this chance to kill! The game is over, and the discussion about the game among fans continues.
In fact, watching football is a part of the daily life of Europeans, in addition to the die-hard fans that Xueluo and Dong Qingmei often see, more families go out together to watch football for the weekend. With the youngest son in his left hand and the eldest son in his right hand, the family is Roseneri. The consequence of not coming by car is that you have to wait in line for the subway, and the flow of people coming out of the stadium is simply thousands. The subway station implements crowd control, and about 400 people are put in each time.
Xueluo and Dongqingmei waited for five or six turns~ I came out to forage at night, this is the first time I saw Italy at night, I slept before it was dark in Como yesterday, and it was bright when I woke up. Milan talks about the transportation in Milan. In fact, it is good to drive anywhere in Italy, and the most important point is to identify the ZTL restricted area.
As for the traffic situation outside Milan ZTL is still relatively orderly, first of all, the roads in big cities are not too narrow, and secondly, everyone drives more obediently, and it is rare to see random congestion or lane changes, so that the smoothness of driving is more guaranteed. Encountering a deep vertical forest on the way, these two skyscraper "tree towers" are the world's first green apartments.
