Group: Cercare i Nostri Sensi and Spotting the "Bulls Eye"


Cultural Immersion #1

We were given an assignment to emerge ourselves into the Italian culture and we were given a clue. The clue read, "Here you will fine a tree that you see in a flower of Easter. There is a small shrine, "fish" and a temple here." Using the map provided by City Sightseeing Milano and listening to the guide we were able to conclude that our clue might be at Guastalla public gardens. 


 After missing the stop we were going back towards Duomo, away from our destination. After having a quick lunch we asked our waiter how to get to the park. Once we hoped on the tram we asked the driver what stop was the garden and what direction to go to after we got off. While we were walking towards the garden we encountered an unexpected hailstorm. We were unable to reach our destination and headed back to the hotel. 

Attempt #2:
We traveled back to the same location and snapped these two pictures below that was our guess with beautiful weather. After searching the whole entire park we came across a statue that seemed to match our clues. We asked two people to snap these pictures below.

 Our best guess...

Targeted the Bullseye


Spotted the "Bullseye"
and these cut-out boots by Balenciaga, which is booming in the footwear industry at the moment.

To die for! Great detailing and rather striking and bold.
Lo Corso Como Outlet had such a great assortment of designer clothing that were decently priced...This is a  hidden jewel in Milan which carried everything from Halston Heritage to Balenciaga and Mui Mui. 
It was all and all a great place to end the day with.
