Lugano, Switzerland

while in Milan, we took a one day trip to Lugano....which could have been better if they stopped in Como first as we wanted to...but oh well...

and Lugano...oh Lugano is just soo splendid! even in winter you can just enjoy it, while either sitting at the lake...or strolling around..or enjoying coffee somewhere....everything else was just way too expensive...and that's what I have written on the back of the card: "the ultra-expensive Switzerland".

We went to this market you know, coz I wanted to buy some original Swiss chocolate...I always buy a lot of chocolate for my dad (ok, of course, I contribute in the eating process as well, however, it mainly goes for my dad), and I really wanted to surprise him with lots and lots of Swiss stuff...but the prices made me change my mind...dear Lord, that was just too much! There were sooo many great stuff to choose from, but just way way way too expensive...so that was just a huge disappointment...how much should you earn in order to feel comfortable paying so much for a box of Lindt chocolates...

well of course, during trips I don't manage to get some variety of stamps, so here I have one from a set of 3 Vegerable Blossoms' stamps issued in 2012...and this one here says to be showing a tomato...hmm, o_O, ok, if you say so...

Another card from a friend, but unfortunately, someone i had lost touch with...and i think its my fault mainly, or at least it was me who was supposed to write back and all....its amazing how lazy i get when i need to reply to a letter or an email, even though i have a lot to say...hence why im always late with my writing to people :((

Kate sent me this card when she went to Lugano for a month or so, due to some traineeship as far as i can recall correctly
To be honest...i have no idea where she is now...she moved to Milano back then and according to logics, she should still be there...but i really dont know....life's the most unpredictable thing ive ever seen....
If it wasnt for her, i wouldnt have had all those Milano cards...and what you've actually seen so far, is just like a small percentage of all my Milano cards...and all the Milano cards I owe are from her actually... I wonder what else my collection would have had if i was still in touch with her...well, i do hope ill get back in touch with her one day...not coz of the cards, but the friendship....we have really had our moments :)
