Milan o My Love Part 2

Have you read my previous blog: Milan o My Love @ Duomo? If you miss it, please have a look at following address:

http://standalonecomplexing.blogspot.com/2007/08/milan-o-my-love-part-1.html
(Just Click on It)

Here come the Milan o My Love Part 2!

Do you ever heard of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II? It is a shopping complex, with the design of a covered double arcade (2 arcade intersecting in an octagon). It is named after Vittorio Enanuele II, the 1st King who united Italy. This shopping mall is also rumoured to be the oldest shopping complex in the world. Walao!

Well, what is so special about this shopping mall? Well, what i can conclude is that it is very high class (look like very high class, as LV and Prada outlet are there.) and there is a glass dome at the midpoint of the shopping mall. It looks so elegant and beautiful, especially with decoration of glass.

Another landmark, Duomo (2nd largest big Gothic style church in the World), is just beside it, as well as Teatro Alla Scala, an Opera house.

Let enjoy some photos that i took at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and Teatro Alla Scala.

Milan o my love Part 1

Have you see the 米兰的小铁匠 youtube video?

If you havn't watch it, please do so. Click here. Then you can have a better understanding of Milan surrounding and atmosphere.

1st Stop:

Duomo at Piazza del Duomo

Do you know that the Duomo, commonly named as Church or Cathedral in Italy, is 1 of the largest Cathedral in the world? It is rumoured to be the 2nd largest Church in Italy, just after St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City?

It is well known with its Gothic and Neoclassicism style of building art. It is very impressive.

It is built from year 1386 and it took more than 2 centuries for the architectures to complete it.

The main sight of its exterior design is a golden statue of Jesus's Mother Maria Madonna. It is 4.2 meters high, and is accompanied by as much as 138 sharp tower. It is said that 1 of towers is as high as 108 meter. Impressive is it?

Now, let see some of the Duomo photographs that i took during my trip to Italy.

Night view

With friends, notice the golden light at the top of Cathedral?

Jay Chou: 米兰的小铁匠

米兰的小铁匠 is a song sang by Jay Chou at his album: the 8th Dimension.

Actually, i am writing something about Milan at my other Chinese Blog, but i find out that 米兰的小铁匠 is also describing the actual scene of Milan, so i just include that Youtube Mv at this blog.



Do you see anything special? Do tell me while i am updating this article during weekends.


Hints: Try look carefully the 1st few seconds of the MV till he sang. Look at the building, the street, the people and the surrounding.

I want that!

Ever wonder, if public PC don't have access to Chinese Input software, what will you do? Use translator? Or do you have other useful way?

In Germany, besides my Laptop, there is no other way that i can access to Chinese Input program. Luckily, at my other Blog: http://ifublog.com/king, someone 小灰 recommend a good online Chinese Input program, which doesn't need installation at all. It is very good and still quite easy to use.

Let start "Chinese Input Program" now. (Click the words)

Now, i can write blog in chinese at my other blog using online tool. So nice and convenient. ^-^



p/s: i will upload my Italy trip photos soon. Getting excited now about it. 好高兴哟！

序〉


夜，一个夜晚，黑色的夜晚。没有星星，没有月亮。因月亮的背叛，星星失去它的光彩。

“德鱼，你又打听到什么消息吗？” 一个低沉的声音在一个狭小的空房间里响起。

“。。。什么消息。。。么消息。。。消息。。。息。。。？” 回声在相应着。

此时，房外响起了脚步声。脚步声？为何会有脚步声？一个影子高空飞过，燕飞三步轻功，徐徐落在空房中。只听到一声细微“拨”的响声，可还是被房外的脚步声给掩盖过了。燕飞三步轻功，可是天下数一数二的轻功呢！

兮兮兮兮。。。兮兮兮兮。。。那是叶子的声音？ 还是一阵风？脚步声好像停了。停了？难道他们发觉了？察觉到有人附近? “快快快！我们铁定要把那些杀手逮扑，抓拿归案！十个都不能少！” 一个洪亮的嗓子在呼唤着。

“德鱼，你没事吧？我看你有点不太对劲。你是否。。。”低沉的话还未完，一个年轻的话就打断那话。 “鱼老，我没事，没事。一点毒箭，奈我如何!" “好好，我相信你，我，鱼老，鱼称我鱼毒，不是盖的。毕竟，你在我门下也不少时间了，你也有偷学我一半毒功呢，可不是吗？哈哈哈” 低沉的笑声，有点怪怪的。那就是鱼老的笑声了。与其说是奸笑，倒不如说是鱼笑！


“德鱼，今天已是星期五了，星期五了！五！五！我爱你！” 鱼老开怀的说着。是是是！德鱼闭起双眼，开始他的独门打坐，无力的回答。

“德鱼，鱼老，你们的天命就到此。看我，电鱼花枪！看枪！” 电鱼花枪，在鱼林武功排名中，是排名第五十位，鱼老的鱼弹功，排名第十位。鱼老的鱼弹指一弹，电鱼华枪立即反弹，电鱼二代的手立即振开，电鱼枪立即向天飞去！只见电鱼二代，没有刚才的威风，没有刚才的自信，站在德鱼五公尺外的距离。

此时，狭小的空房里，有三个人，一个屋顶洞。夜光依然躲起来。

“电鱼呀电鱼，你有电鱼一代的固执，明知道电鱼花枪和我的鱼弹功相差四十位排名，仍然挑战我？德鱼也不比你弱多少呀？你真有胆。好好好。。。死到临头，你还不知，可悲可悲。还有那些在房外的步兵们，我为他们的无辜，感到悲哀。”

“什么？死到临头？你好大的口气。。。” 电鱼二代话未说完，身体已僵硬，动不得。

“我，鱼老，鱼老的名，可不是烂的虚名。你忘了吗，今天是星期五，星期五，是我的天地。黑色星期五，是我的鱼毒，天下第十毒。你，今天见到了我，又中了我的黑色星期五鱼毒，你说，不是死到临头，是什么？ 你的师傅，就是死在我的黑色星期五毒上。。。”

可是，电鱼二代，已听不到鱼老的话了。他，只知道，他忘了今天是星期五。。。他，只听到鱼老说着他的天下第十毒。。。

鱼老仍然说着：“谁叫德国人要在星期五铁定吃鱼呢？若你们吃肉，就不会中了我的黑色星期五毒。可悲可悲！你说是不是，德鱼。你也是德国人，要不是你是我的弟子，我也不会给你解药吃。”

鱼老，看着天，若有所思地想着。。。


毕

Reason:
Jesus Christ died on Good Friday. In order to remember this day, the Christian will eat fish todayon that special day, or non-meat dish, or simply become vegetarian. The reason behind this is to remember the death of Jesus Christ.

But, they can also eat meat. There is no strict law that Christian must eat fish on Friday, every Friday.

This condition applies to Christian in Germany. I have no idea about this tradition at other countries. But in Malaysia, Christian don't have this tradition. I wonder... is this cultural difference?

Murano - Glass Blowing

Watch the following 3 Video Clip, captured using my F10 Fijifilm Camera.







About Murano:

Murano is actually a island, and it is located very near to Venice. It lies about a mile north of Venice and is famous for its glass making.

I don't know the actual reason Murano is popular with its glass making, but as far as i heard, from history, the 1st glass/mirror is made at Murano. How true is it, i can't assure you.

Some quote from Wikipedia about Murano:

1. Murano’s reputation as a center for glassmaking was born when the Venetian Republic, fearing fire and destruction to the city’s mostly wood buildings, ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano in 1291.
2. Murano’s glassmakers held a monopoly on quality glassmaking for centuries, developing or refining many technologies including crystalline glass, enameled glass (smalto), glass with threads of gold (aventurine), multicolored glass (millefiori), milk glass (lattimo), and imitation gemstones made of glass.

Someone does tell me that Murano Glass is far more expensive in Malaysia compared to its Origin. For an example, a glass costs around RM100 at Murano, will cost you about RM300 at Pulau Langkawi. That is what my seniors tell me. Well, every Murano Glass is unique, and we can't exactly compare them.

That's all about Murano and Murano Glass. I will blog more about Murano Glass making technique during weekends.

See you soon.
