my advice jaga duit n brg berharga baik2..italy ada banyak pickpocket n thy r very good at it.masa di milan and that was our fitst stop in italy..my friend hilang 500 euro..n she carried her backpack in front. we all tak rasa any shoving ke atau apa..just notice bila nak bayar bila beli barang duit hilang..

so what u can do is split your money..jangan letak semua dlm wallet..maybe sikit dlm poket seluar.another few euros dlm poket baju etc..n it seems they r notorious for it..even the italian people that we metsaid the same thing n it's not just milan but the whole country..they blamed it on the gypsies..even police pun tak buat apa..

thanks WQ for your kind advice.... must take note of this.

how abt milan, turin?  any tips? tempat mana yg a must to go when u are there?

True..My landlord dulu who's also an italian pun advised us the same especially dekat Naples..and cities kat bahagian bawah italy..

or u can also buy sling beg yg kecik (perhaps passport size) and then letak the bag dalam baju you..tu adalah salah satu cara nak elak from pickpocket..

thanks cupcakes for another useful tips.... sesapa yg dah sampai Milan/Turin harap dapat share gambar & experience kat sini

whitequeen

rome pun are well known for their pick pocket..n one more kalau ada so callled polis mintak tunjuk pasport  jgn layan..the polic are not supposed to do that..in fact kita bole jln2 without our pasport..cuma if u want to shop then kena ada pasport esp branded things like LV etc..even zara..in fact safer kalau tinggal pasport n ic kat bilik hotel..

whitequeen

ada advice lagi..kat italy byk mat black yang jual brg2 like begs etc..they sell it very cheap..kalau u nak beli make sure u ada small change..kalau tak bila polis datang diorang lari dgn duit u skali..

cupcakes

ahh cam tulah..letak dalam t-shirt pun boleh..mmg tak nampaklah..passport tu yg penting..kalau hilang mmg nagisss..kena balik wooo..

cupcakes

Betul tu..bila u ckp cam tu teringat one particular incident kat either budapest or prague..
derang punya subway takde palang2..kitaorg nih mmglah tak gheti nak baca tulisan derang..so kitaorg main redah jerr..kira naik subway cara harammlahh
Kitaorg ingatkan free of charge...

Lepas tu tiba2 ada sorang mamat nih tahan kitaorg sbb tak beli tiket koot.. dia kat dia officer kat sana..minta passport kitaorg..kitaorg ni punya menggelabah dan bangang pun bagi lahhh..lepas tu minta duit pulak kat kitaorg kalau tak dia tak pulangkan balik passport tu..dia kata denda sbb tak beli tiket..nasib baik dia mintak tak byk..I pun tak ingat brp..

Bila kitaorg pikir balik kalau denda sure ada official receipt..tak ker mangkuk..ke tipu..

Thanks whitequeen & cupcakes for the useful info.  Nak tanya lagi, how abt halal restaurant?  Senang tak nak cari kat kawasan Milan?

azaleena

emm.. tak jumpa halal restaurants kat milan .. just order fish & sewaktu dgnnya je la

actually, kalau nak beli prada & gucci ada la dlm galleria tu .. ada nearby mall yg jual mcm2 termasuk la branded handbags etc etc

souvenier jual kat tepi2 galleria tu. tapi semua dlm cash la .. simple keychain & fridge magnet pun 3 Euro.

kalau u have time, u should go to factory outlet utk beli branded items, which is 1 hr 40 minutes from milan. (tak sempat nak gi.. )

Elise2004_111R

wahhh best ada factory outlet.... hmmm tak tau sempat pergi ke tidak, hopefully sempat lah

But most of the time,  will be in Turin.  Nak kena check places of interest & factory outlet ada tak kat sana  :bg:

thanks azaleena

up sikit thread ni,

kat milan halal food boleh dapat kat area via mariabria, tak silap. amik yellow line then berenti kat last stop maciachini. kat sini banyak kedai asian n pak arab n kat area sini jugak, dlm 1 km, ada one very good n famous jazz club, nama blue note. kalau singgah milan, kalau bersempatan, kicap rekemen pi jazz club ni, (pada sape yg minat music jazz or just nak chill).  

shopping kat milan, kalau nak designer item/ high end, kat vittorio galleria/duomo ngan montenapoleone. kalau nak mid range ke bawah, boleh jalan along buenos aires street, ala orchard road kat singapore lah. macam2 kedai ada n syok sekali kalau ada temporary store which sells branded goods e.g. versace, hugo boss etc at discounted price lebih 50%. nak pi buenos aires street ni, naik metro merah or hijau then berenti kat loreto.

kicap tak pi outlet kat milan, tp kicap pi yang kat florence punya, simply called "the mall". ada lah rasa nak pengsan jugak sbb tgk barang2 harga dia mmg murah compare ngan retail price. yang murah sungguh gucci ngan tods. from florence (SMN) amik SITA bus ke the mall. anyways... i really love florence...  cantik sangat

narif

tak sampai lagi florence . dulu gi rome ngan venice je. nak pi milan!
