Way to go!

Milan is anything you want it to be: great dining, arts, shopping..it really depends on what your interests are.

Unfortunately you are visiting the city one week too early: the 7th of december is the Feast of St Ambrogio, the patron saint of Milan, and that turns the centre into a wonderful gigantic "happening".

Anyway if you are there already on Saturday I would make a quick tour of the centre just browsing around the Duomo, the Galleria nearby and letting your feet take you wherever you want around there. You might eventually stumble across Peck, a gastronomic institution, and its amazing shop in Via Spadari, 200 metres from the square of the Duomo, and if you have deep pockets you can try its restaurant in Via Hugo.

The Scala is also very close and worth a visit, they have guided tours during the day. At the other side of the square you can find long streets full of prestigious shops in th triangle formed by Via della Spiga, Via Montenapoleone and Via Manzoni.

If you are artistically inclined then after exiting the Galleria and turning right you will come across a long road leading to the Castello Sforzesco, an imposing structure built in the late middle age and a definite must see. Nearby you will find the ancient basilica of Sant'Ambrogio, also worth a visit.

One of the most famous icons of Milan, the "Last Supper" by Leonardo, is basically out of bounds for the occasional tourist as it can only be seen by appointment and the waiting list usually runs to 2-3 months. If you are really keen then inquire with your concierge to find out which organised tour has it included. That will be the only chance to have a glance at it.

Museums are here aplenty: the Pinacoteca di Brera and the Poldi-Pezzoli are only a long stroll away from the Duomo and well worth a visit especially to escape the occasional squall.

Sunday is of course the day where you can also visit the Milanese Temple of Football: the San Siro stadium which hosts the home games of Inter and Milan.

Dinner is not going to be cheap but if you are partial to a gastronomic treat or two then you cannot do much better than "Il luogo di Aimo e Nadia", a veritable temple of Italian cuisine, based on the freshest of ingredients. If you are looking for a cheaper but intriguing alternative, then go to Boccondivino in Via carducci. There you only need to sit and be pampered by the staff who will keep presenting you with an excellent selection of food without you lifting a finger, accompanied by wine generously offered and chosen by the resident Sommelier. Not to be missed.

Finally a short jaunt to "WAtch & Clock" in largo settimio severo, near Piazza magenta and the Conciliazione stop of the line 1 of the metro, will let you admire the most respected shop of its kind in Northern italy.

Have fun!!

Great job. Thanks and early Xmas wishes to you too!

You have done it again! Gorgeous watch + stunning pics = compulsive ordering addiction

Great job! Should this be now known as a Sherri..mariner?

Has it been waterproof tested? (i.e.: Any wet T-Shirt pictures?)

Considering that we are talking about Australian Dollars some of the prices are very reasonable, especially for the "normal" items like the modern Rolexes.

I followed the instructions given at purchase time and listen the transactions subject as "service".

In Italy you cannot open a paypal acct without having your crdit card verified with the bogus charge and the code listed next to it so inevitably they will always have your address and the email with which you opened the account, which has to be the one you login with, so inevitably the account is a "verified" one.

Maybe in the US it is different. Whatever the case it still spells a lot of trouble for Paypal users at least in the EU.

Hi everyone,

only joined the forum a few weeks ago and enjoying it immensely. I opened a Paypal account to start purchasing a few odds and ends from dealers here and I soon got the hang of it.

Around 500$ and 3 purchases later, I get a strange email from paypal advising me that "for my own security" and "to protect my account from abuse" they will freeze it until they complete their investigation" because they have reason to believe that "illegal transactions have been carried on it".

Naturally I was dumbstruck and I just wrote them a sharp reply to express my anger.

It gets worse: a day later I get emails from Andrew and sash telling me that the funds I posted to them (a week earlier) have been "chargebacked" and are also frozen!

Has this ever happened to someone else here? Naturally I will never use Paypal again, but is there anyway to get those 500$ unfrozen?

Pearl location...AR coating...... blah blah blah....

I say: what gorgeous photos of such a classic timepiece!!! I would give an arm and a leg (well let's say just a leg as I need both wrists ) to be able to take pics like that

Last time I was in Shenzen for an exhibition I got contacted by a guy who claimed to be a big time exporter of "top quality" bags, here is the website for those who feel like a gamble:))
