Just some spring rain...

Today I am going to work 30 minutes earlier than normal as I have to leave early to the doctor - to check my arm.

Got out of bed and heard the rain heavily fall down outside. Hunters on. Got out and got a chock. Floodings all over the streets, most parts of the street had over 10 cm of water. Thank god for my holy hunters. 

Have a great day everyone!

Slow yoga course

Tonight I went to a new yoga class with Silvia. It was supposed to be dynamic yoga but it wasn´ and I am not really sure what it actually was. 

The course consisted of some muscle warm up exercises. So far so good. But then we went on doing what I would call, more warm up positions and then some stretching and then relaxation and then the hour was gone. If I say that I was kind of freezing throughout the whole class you can understand that it was absolutely no training at all, just some stretching. 

The instructor however seemed to be very good. Before the class started he did some yoga poses himself to warm up and he was very good so I wonder why he didn't let us to any of those yoga poses? Actually, we didn´t do a single traditional yoga pose. 

Well, it was relaxing at least... and that was well needed after a very busy day at work...

Momix Alchemy dance show

You all know I love dancing! It is pure passion both to dance myself and to watch other people dance and that is why I could not miss this years biggest dance show, Momix Alchemy. It is a show bringing mordern dance, good music and cool lightenings together in something I have never seen before.

For my taste it was slightly too strange. I am not very cultural or a big fan of alternative styles and I guess that you should be to fully enjoy this show. But I liked it anyway, some pieces much more than others but in total I got out positive and satisfied and so did also my friend. We are both glad we went.

Oz: the great and powerful 3D

Early Sunday morning wake up is not something I very much like. But as my flatmate that works for Disney gave me two free tickets for the new Disney movie Oz the great and powerful I had to put the alarm on... 

I must say it was worth it. The film wasn't great but good. It was expecting a cartoon but it was not! But it was a fairy tale in 3D. I love 3D movies and I must say that Disney had really managed to make a beautiful film with amazing pictures. The story itself was sweet but nothing special.

New Garibaldi and galleria Carla Sozzani

Its been a boring raining day in Milan. I decided to skip the gym because of my arm problem and instead I met up with a friend for a coffee in Corso Como. 

We went to have a look at the new Garibaldi area, that from nothing has grown up and become a little manhattan with lots of modern skyscrapers and houses made of glass. The new area is big and nice but it doesn't feel like Milan, or Italy at all...

After out little walk we went to Galleria Carla Sozzani to see the latest photo exhibition of Alfa Castaldi. Nothing special in my opinion. 

From Corso Como I walked all the way down to Rinascente where I spend an hour just talking to different ex colleagues. It it was fun :-) I might not miss my work there a lot but I do miss the connection in between the co-workers.

The Italian way of celebrating the international women's day

Ok people, now I will tell you the Italian way of celebrating the International women´s day. Hold your hats...

Starting around after work hours, from 6pm more and less, in most bars, pubs and nightclubs and also in many restaurants ONLY women are welcome. No men at all. So all these places fills up with only lots of girls. Kind of strange. Then in later hours there is always some kind of show with a "poor" man that has to dance/striptease in front of all these women. 

I have never gone out on the 8th of March in Italy before but as this year it happened to be on a Friday Anna and I decided to go give it a go. We went to Tocqueville for aperitivo, saw the show, danced a bit and left not too late. It was fun!

I find the idea behind this Italian tradition kind of ridiculous but at the same time I know that this is a day that big groups of girls are having reunions with old class mates, university friends or colleagues and that is a nice tradition instead.

Today will be a lazy day!

Good morning friends! I just got up and had a nice breakfast. What you see on the picture is the dessert of my breakfast... Swedish hot tea with milk and a "kanelbulle". So nice!

Today I have promised myself to just take it easy. I might go and buy some food and I guess I will pop by the gym but for the rest I will try to relax as much as possible. I don't have many of those days and as yesterday was very busy and tomorrow will be too I need a day or rest.

Soon I will add some pics from yesterday night.

Happy women´s day!

The International women´s day is massive in Italy. I don´t remember that I have celebrated it or that I have been celebrated at all in neither Sweden or England. 

Today I have got text messages from lots of my Italian friends saying "auguri" - congratulations that for me is kind of strange but I got the trend and congratulated my friends too. Kind of sweet. 

Tonight Anna and I are off for a women´s aperitivo at Tocqueville.... lets see what the night will bring :-)

Anyway, happy women´s day to all my loved ladies! <3 p="">

...and I suddenly start liking Bikram yoga

Yesterday I went back to the Bikram Yoga studio for another session of yoga in 40 degrees heat. I was not looking forward it. Maybe that was why I was very positively surprised, I actually liked it. What? It has been such pain every time and suddenly I kind of liked it. The heat is still the hard part and few times I felt dizzy. But for the first time I managed to concentrate on the yoga poses and there for I thought less about the heat. 

It was my third bikram yoga session this year. The fourth in my life. Everyone has always said that after 2-3 times you will start liking it but I refuted to believe them. That is why I was so surprised when I walked home feeling absolutely great about myself. 

Next week I can't go as I have a hatha yoga session booked on Monday (and I only do yoga once a week) but I will book Bikram for the week after and believe it or not, I am looking forward to it!

Parlami d'amore

Blogging while waiting for the train in my new trend. Love my "new" mobile.

Yesterday after the gym I ended up eating dinner in front of the film above "Parlami d'amore" and then I couldn't go to bed until the end of the film. Like most of you know I am a romantic girl that loves the Italian romantic movies.

Parlami d'amore was much more of a drama film instead of my usual romantic comedies. I am a big fan of the actor Silvio Muccino and that was one of the reasons I started to watch the movie. It was good entertainment and a nice way to end a busy Wednesday.
