April
Everything we have to survive : Dictionnary, Flip-flaps, passport and Ipod.
Personal thoughts :
When we are going abroad, alone, we start to have feelings, thoughts that we usually don't have when we are going on hollidays ... :
- « Do I have to take bed sheets ?! » - Well, we never know where we will end !
- « What if I have the flu ? Or mad cow disease ? Or plague ?! » - Bring a safety box with everything : Alcohol 90°, band-aid, Imodium, Maalox, Doliprane …
- « A swiss knife ..? We never know. » - Why do we feel safer with a swiss knife ?!
- « What if I have a hole in my smoking ? I am not going to bring things to sew ! » - Well ... you are.
- « How do I iron my shirts ? » - Hum … Tricky question. We'll see later !
- « A dictionnary ..? » - Seriously, did someone already bring a dictionnary in his suitcase … ?
In the "We never know" category :
- Empty USB keys
- Books we never read.
- Movies we never saw.
- Flip-flaps, in case we find a beach near the cathedral.
- … The dictionnary.
?!
"We'll see how it goes ! Let's go !"
"Did I think of everything .. ?"
"Yes ! I'm going abroad !"
Musics of the month :
I dedicated the major part of my time this month to filling-in websites, creating of profiles or searching university places in Milan (Bocconi, Politechnics …) in the order to find location propositions. I already have 5 meetings the first week to visit rooms that I found on the internet. Every conversation I had was in Italian : that's a real beginning !
Follow my first days and impressions on this page : And so I came in Milan.
Beginning of the trip !
Since the beginning of the month , I am preparing : sunglasses, camera, music on the Ipod … I sometimes feel like I'm going on vacation. In fact ... I don't. I sure intend on visiting the region, but I am going work a lot. A lot, a lot, I think. Normally, I will be part of the organization of Milan's Universal Exhibition 2015. Sweet.
I took my flight ticket on Air France, and I take off the 29 April, at 11"05 from Paris-Orly, et I land in Milan-Linate at 12"30. Then, I booked 5 hotel nights in a hotel near Loreto station. My internship begins only the 5th of May, I have a entire week to find roomates or an appartment, because I am convinced that it would be easier to find once in Milan.
