Everybody Loves Milan
During these decades, Milan is known the world over as a tourism hot spot. As the capital of the region of Lombardy and of the province of Milan, Milan is the Italian shopper’s paradise and a Mecca for art & opera lovers. As one of the thousands of travel fans, I think it’s the city hard to be missed! As a travel enthusiast, I like to step every place in the world and find every beauty at any corner. There are thousands of places with wonderful sites and scenic beauty, so it is my life-long pursuit to travel around the world. I have been to Milan, which is an amazing place for all the travel fans. Before the journey, I would take some travel equipments. One is a 100MW LASER. Nowadays, laser products are used in different areas as like commercial conference, star researching, even military. Each time before the journey I would take a wholesale blue laser I bought online as a carryon. Because when I meet troubles it can send SOS signal to rescue me from danger. That’s why laser products are actively demanded at the market now, even in Wholesale online shops. With a laser pen, it really can help you a lot. Milan is recognized as a world fashion and design capital, with a major global influence in commerce, industry, music, sport, literature, art and media, making it one of GaWC's major Alpha world cities. The Lombard metropolis is especially famous for its fashion houses and shops (such as along Via Monte Napoleone) and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in the Piazza Duomo (reputed to be the world's oldest shopping mall). The city has a rich cultural heritage and legacy, a vibrant nightlife, and has a unique cuisine; it is home to numerous famous dishes, such as the Panettone Christmas cake and the risotto alla Milanese. The city has a particularly famous musical, particularly operatic, tradition, being the home of several important composers (such as Giuseppe Verdi) and theatres (such as the Teatro alla Scala). Milan is also well-known for containing several important museums, universities, academies, palaces, churches and libraries (such as the Academy of Brera and the Castello Sforzesco) and two renowned football teams: A.C. Milan and F.C. Internazionale Milano. This makes Milan the 52nd Europe's tourist destination, with over 1.914 million foreign arrivals to the city in 2008. The city hosted the 1906 World Exposition and will host the 2015 Universal Exposition. I remember I took a BLUE LASER pointer as a carryon to Milan. At first glance, Milan can appear like one of the models gracing its catwalks: great bone structure (in the shape of historic and striking new architecture), extravagant taste and no obvious soul. But Milan's style and, yes, substance, are more than skin deep. Armani, Versace, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Pucci, Gucci and many more took off on Milan’s runways. Fashionistas make a pilgrimage here to shop at the designers’ flagship stores in the Quadrilatero d’Oro (Golden Quad). Boutiques stocking emerging labels, and chic concept shops also line the city’s streets, while discount outlets selling samples, seconds and last season’s cast-offs are a bargain-hunter’s Holy Grail. Milan is also the world capital of furniture and homewards (the beanbag is a Milanese brainchild), and a hub for risk-taking contemporary art. Having been greatly destroyed by Second World War bomb raids, Milan has rebuilt itself into a thriving cosmopolitan business capital. For us tourists, what makes Milan interesting compared to other places is that the city is truly more about the lifestyle of enjoying worldly pleasures: a paradise of shopping, football, opera, and nightlife. As well, you can find some other historical and modern sights. This is a city you have to visit before you die.
