Tomas,

If you're going to Italy, beware of the giant hamsters...

The hamsters may be very good hosts (with their friends).
Anyway, Milan is a relative big city with good museums and a viable and an efficent subway.
For tourism only ,Florence is more suitable, I thinks.

I live in Rome , is not cold but It is raining a lot. It is the autumn.

Hi, I am in Milan and because I am posting new message in "grazia internet cafe" you can guess - it is raining... But I had really great day, it is cool that so many italians speak english otherwise I will probably walk in circles, architecture here is awesome, Duomo cathedral is godlike (and pigeons are friendly there), I will go to Venice later, then to Florence, and maybe Pisa, I would love to see Rome but I do not think I will have any time left. Milan is full of Mercedes Smart cars, that is interesting, I like that car, it reminds me of these shopping-carts for children in supermarkets...
A couple really strange things happened to me today, I will not go into details now, maybe someday... I will make some postcards from Milan, my way ofcourse.
peace
Tomas

You will not regret to visit Venice , guarantee.

Florence is great too, small city ,much smaller than Milan.
Both city have ..a lot of pigeons, anyway.

I can second that, especially the part with the pigeons

Ciao, my journey is going to an end. I had a pretty frustrating time fiding a hotel in Venice, Initially I have planned only to go to Milan so I had no reservations for Venice or Florence, and it was raining like hell in Venice, but only first day, the other was ok, I bought two masks there, After Florence I was sooooo tired, now I am back in Milan, I bought some italian comic books: Nathan Never, Brendon, John Doe, Raccolta Julia..., very clean cinematic style I usually buy something like James O"Barr Crow, which is not drawn perfectly clean but has a great mood. I also found comic book store in Milan called Borsa Del Fumetto (if I spell right) where I bought that Marvel-Way book by Stan Lee, I am not going to start learning how to draw spider-man (anyone can draw spider-man) but that will be one more book to my How-to books collection, I was happy to find Camelot 3000 by Brian Bolland there too. OK enough typing for today.
peace
Tomas

If you are able to get something called "GON" i say, YOU MUST buy it, it is so great.
I bought my first GON cartoon in Italy as well, and i LOVE IT.
Check it out man, have a great time.

Regards, Blaaa.

mr. blaaa, I was too late to read your post, about GON cartoon so I did not get that

maybe next time...

Well, actually GON is a japanese comic.

But in italy all comics are (or were at least when i was there 3 yrs ago) so cheap. One should grab a truck and get all those comics

Nice pic(s) godlike27, you pretty good catched it all, although italians are fast and stressy people (at least for me)

So, man i checked out your website, seems like you produce music yoursself?
