Milan is a small, fresh, light or champagne-colored building with wrought iron balconies and balcony windows with flowers and plants. Different buildings are connected by arms, and only when they meet the street will they be separated, giving people a feeling of clear blocks.
The buildings in Venice are relatively simple, with colorful buildings separated by clear water and connected by small bridges.
Florence is my favorite. The whole city is built in a wide basin, flat and dense. Buildings are generally relatively high, with four or five floors of stone buildings; The doors are super atmospheric, with big wooden doors three or four meters high.
Standing at the top of Giotto's bell tower overlooking the whole city, you can see the uniform style, and there is no boundary between history and modernity. It seems that this camp was completely built in the Middle Ages, and running water is the people living here and the supporting means of transportation.
The treasures left by the Renaissance were at a loss. They passed by as if they saw Michelangelo knocking on a stone, and David had revealed his bust. As if Leonardo da Vinci were immersed in the canvas, the kind face of the Virgin and the church as the background emerged exquisitely in the online manuscript.
Strangely, there are air conditioners in seemingly old buildings, and apartments, restaurants and museums on the street have never seen plug-ins of air conditioners. Also, there are no commuting white-collar workers here. Perhaps the artistic atmosphere of this city is so strong that there is no need for white-collar workers at all.
Rome is full of traces of the combination of ancient and modern, and the subway exit is next to the Colosseum more than 2,000 years ago.
The construction of the Colosseum in ancient Rome can consider evacuation, and 50 thousand people will not be congested within 30 minutes, which is the blueprint of modern stadiums; In fact, the basement with complex structure can be designed. The width of corridor, the intensity of light and the implantation of elevator can help people drive away wild animals. It's just that the original intention of this Colosseum was too cruel, which aroused great interest in that period of history.
Italy and China drive on the right, and China's driver's license can also be used in Italy. You can rent a car by looking for an intermediary to do translation and international notarization.
Car rental agencies mainly include Hertz and Golden Car. The airport also has its own office. The model is a little old, and the default manual gear. Pay attention to check when placing an order. The car rental fee is about 2-3 times that in China, more than 400 a day.
Expressway feels that it has been built for more than 50 years, and some guardrails are inclined. The level of maintenance in expressway is much worse than the exquisite churches built for hundreds of years.
But everyone is very orderly when driving at high speed. Although some sections have only two lanes, and although there are many trucks and buses, everyone basically uses the overtaking lane when overtaking, and then returns to the lane after overtaking. The speed is also very fast, 140 yards is medium speed. There are also many corners. Turn left, then turn right. The novice said that he had vision when driving a racing car.
The streets in the city are not wide, especially in Florence. Many streets can only accommodate one car. Therefore, small cars are the main means of transportation, with hatchbacks, motorcycles, Smart cars and even single-seat cars all over the street, and sedan cars are rarely seen. I have hardly heard the horn of a car on the road. Whether it is a car or a bus, I will avoid pedestrians when I see them. I feel that on the road, pedestrians on the zebra crossing are the boss, and you can cross the road without gesturing to the coming car. Motorcyclists are also very domineering, and they often drive on the road with rumbling motors.
One day when I first arrived in Rome, facing the continuous slope, I was driving a light coffee with a manual gear and was afraid to turn off the engine. I forgot to avoid a motorcycle that turned out halfway when I was nervous. As a result, the motorcycle driver immediately drove up to me and pointed at me. The companion said that life is incomplete without comparing with the middle finger.
What impressed me most when I first arrived in Milan was the beauty like a cloud! The gene is so good.
In terms of figure, girls are basically above 1.7 meters, and the visual leg length accounts for 70%. Who said that Europeans and Americans like big thick legs? In a word, all the confident and bare-legged beauties I saw were straight and thin, well-proportioned, with no muscles protruding from their calves and hips protruding just right. With facial features, a delicate and smooth face, big eyes, curly eyelashes and a three-dimensional bridge of the nose, I feel that anyone can come to China as a star.
Boys are quite tall, with long legs and thin calves. These little babies are so cute.
In short, as soon as I saw them, I felt that we Asians lost at the starting line. ...
However, it has been neglected in maintenance, and the best-looking age is from birth to twenties. Further up, the lost collagen matches a pointed nose, a deeply sunken eye socket and a face full of wrinkles or beards. It's hardly too old.
People who look my age may be younger than me 10 years old. In fact, people my age may look older than me 10 years old. At this point, Asians have completely won. Look at those frozen goddess Song Hye Kyo Jing and Jin Taixi. After the age of 25, they have never been old.
Women in the street, whether girls or grandmothers, like to wear suspenders and deep V's, regardless of whether their breasts are drooping or not ... underwear, either wearing thin black shoulder straps or bare shoulders, or some going into battle directly without underwear. In the download, girls are basically denim hot pants, and grandma has many long skirts.
The sunshine in Italy is too strong, and the skin can be obviously sunburned as soon as it is exposed. I wonder if they will wear sunscreen when they go to the street, but the visible physical sunscreen is only sunglasses, no long sleeves, no hats and umbrellas, and I have never seen them make up sunscreen on the street. They always have big spots on their bare backs. I don't know if they know that strong ultraviolet rays will not only make them have wheat-colored skin, but also make the collagen in the skin lose elasticity, become hard and brittle, and age rapidly, but maybe they don't care.
Italians are awesome. Whether it's waiters in restaurants, hotels and small shops, or citizens, police and information desk staff, they can basically speak English, but it's just a matter of accent or vocabulary.
Once at the street information desk in Rome, the staff just finished speaking English to us, then spoke French to the next person, and then communicated with colleagues in Italian. These three languages switch seamlessly.
I'm tired of pizza and pasta, then steak and all kinds of ham. The taste is heavy, greasy and salty, except for the excitement of eating a day or two ago. Later, when I smelled ham, I felt fishy. I feel sick at the sight of cheese. This bread is hard enough to grind my gums. I want to eat vegetables, either raw bitter salad or cooked vegetable paste. On the last day, I really want to eat instant noodles, or I can't get tired of eating all kinds of Chinese food.
Before I came, I had been rumored that Europe was in a mess, so that I made up a picture that my luggage was taken away by Noichi just after I got out of the airport.
In fact, the situation is much better than I expected, even better than many cities in China. Soldiers with live ammunition patrol scenic spots and airports, and powerful companions have checked the raiders. In some scenic spots, someone will force you to feed pigeons with colored ropes or corn while you are not paying attention, and then ask you for money. Just don't get too close to them. At other times, it's like an ordinary tourist city. Enthusiastic citizens, tourists and thieves, but with a little attention, you can avoid being stolen and robbed. I don't think there are so many people in this place.
One day on the bus, a middle-aged man covered his hand with clothes and approached my companion, ready to open the bag she was carrying. His companion noticed him and left soon. The thief failed to get off the bus.
It's summer, the longest day, and the sun doesn't set until 9 o'clock every day. Almost all of us girls didn't go back to our apartment until after 6: 30 10, and one day we didn't go back until 6: 301Florence. When I walked from a busy scenic spot to a dark and deserted neighborhood, I was a little scared, but nothing happened and we arrived safely. Just like coming home late at night in China, you may be more afraid of yourself.
Because many bags and shoes are made in Europe, the price of the same product in the counter here is much cheaper than that in other places. In addition, there is a tax rebate for leaving Europe, so the price will be much more cost-effective, especially if there is a discount.
It is said that Italy's tax rebate rate is very high in Europe. You can get a tax refund of 10-20% when you buy over 150 euros in a store. The tax rebate rate for bags and accessories is generally around 12%, so the same bags are about 30-60% cheaper than those in Hong Kong or the United States.
There are several companies in Italy that refund taxes, the largest of which is Global Blue Alliance, which has the most offices. When shopping, the store will help you fill out the tax refund application form of the tax refund company. Here, you need to provide your passport. With the application form, you can stamp the tax refund stamp at the office of the tax refund company in the urban area first, so that you don't have to queue up at the tax refund company at the airport, you only need to queue up for a shorter time and process it faster. Refund can be made by cash, credit card or Alipay (Global Blue Link only). If you choose cash, you will be charged some handling fees. If you use a credit card, it will arrive within 5 working days.
The airport tax refund can only be processed four hours earlier than the flight departure time at most, and it is useless to go too early.
The price of ordinary goods and services is about two to n times that of China! A bottle of mineral water, 12 RMB; /kloc-take a taxi in 0/5 minutes, 780 yuan; A casual meal, a slightly acceptable meal, is three or four hundred per capita; Small is not a star hotel, thousands of dollars a day; Two bedrooms, one night 1500.
In short, everything is expensive except luxury goods, which are cheaper than other places.
I feel that everyone lived too full and mastered too much during the Renaissance. In addition to reading poetry books and understanding all kinds of allusions in the classics, you can also carve and paint vividly, with a size of three or four meters; We can also design architectural drawings and build them into unparalleled beautiful and magnificent churches, giving consideration to practical load-bearing and artistic beauty.
As an amateur painter, Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. There are not many paintings left by him. Many of his manuscripts are displayed in the Uffizi Museum in Florence, a painting of three or four meters. I feel that in order to draw a character, a city is designed in the background, and even the church in the picture is very fine, with many murals and sculptures. But Leonardo da Vinci spent most of his time in scientific research, involving astronomy, biology, anatomy, engineering and mechanical design. He designed propellers and ball bearings, drew sketches of airplanes, bicycles and parachutes, dissected more than 30 bodies, knew the human body like the back of his hand, and played the piano. How can he be so versatile? People doubt people's potential space.
At my age, Michelangelo already has a masterpiece of sculpture "Mourning" handed down from generation to generation. ...
In contrast, I also put off writing my travel notes for several weeks. ......
It is not uncommon to meet a person eating in a restaurant in Florence and a little girl catching a plane at Milan airport. I think it is so natural to travel alone.
So, you can go if you want. The world is so big, even if there is no one to accompany you, you should go and see it.
