Milanese yearbook

Last week I went through all the pictures that I've taken during my time spent in Milan in an attempt to pick out the best ones and get them printed. Before I leave I will make a sort of yearbook, where I'll glue in some photos of some of my favorite Milanese memories and ask my friends and colleagues here to sign. Here are some of the photos I dug up!

agosto

I'm probably the worst blogger there is because all these exciting things happen in my life and I never have the time/energy to write about them! That being said, I guess it's better that I'm out living and experiencing all these wondrous things than sitting around blogging them, right?
It's August now, and we all know what that means... vacanze! Well in Italy that's what it means, anyway. Milan in August is a sight to be seen: the city empties, public transport slows down to a crawl, stores close whenever they feel like it, and you can even see the occassional tumbleweed drift down the untrafficked streets.
For me it's just a few more days of work at STMicroelectronics before I resign. It's been a wild ride, but now I'm off to a new part of the world to experience new challenges. To keep everyone in the loop, my August plans are:
  • Lyon, France 8/6-8/9
  • Stockholm, Sweden 8/16-8/19
  • Camogli, Italy 8/20-8/21
  • NYC 8/25
Not too shabby I'd say!
The next few weeks will be full of arrivederci s and organizing myself both physically and mentally for my big move to NYC. Wish me luck as I bid farewell to my beloved Milano!
