Arrivederci Torino

12 March 2007

finally, it's time to return the rental skiis and head back home to milano. after a hearty breakfast, we carry all our barang barang and arrive at jolly sport.............................. to find that it is C.L.O.S.E.D. on monday mornings! why like that? we kept asking the cleaning lady to let us put our skis inside and we come back later but she kept insisting that it is not possible. in the end, we just went to the backyard to put down our things first. as we were discussing, the lady keep coming out to tell us she is not responsible for our skis... there seemed to be no solution and some of us decided to go eat gelato instead to cheer ourselves up. but to our horror, they found that the gate we entered was locked!! horror of all horrors! they were sort of panicking i think. but sixiu and i were too busy playing nintendo DS and PSP respectively. haha.. by the time i got up, they already managed to get a resident to open the gate for us.... erm ya... and so... we proceeded with plan to eat gelato.

then, sixiu and cindy walked us back to the station for our ride home... they would later go back and return the skis (and the skis would already have been brought into the shop before they even reached it...)

(yian on train)

and.... we were glad to be home again in familar and safer milano. torino in my opinion is more dangerous. there are always random ppl talking to you or forming groups just sitting around... must be careful if you go.
