This weekend was a free weekend to sleep in and explore. It was nice to not be worried about getting somewhere for a certain time. We could just get lost and find new stores and figure out how to get home at our own convenience. I was really excited to explore around Duomo. I know I’ve been there almost every day, but I always go down the same main road, so this weekend I decided to break that path and explore the side streets. I found a ton of new stores and some great places to eat.
This weekend we were also assigned a cultural assignment. We were given four store names and had to find them. Finding the addresses was simple, but locating them on the map was a little more of a challenge. Once we knew where we were going we all decided to go together as a group. All four of the stores were closed when we got there, but we were able to look inside and they all looked really interesting. Very different from stores we see in the United States, but could find their niche in our market if they were to go international. There are no department stores here in Milan. So small stores such as these are where you people would have to go for home goods. We don’t see this to often in the states, this is why I think that the stores we saw that had home goods, can really find their niche and do well if they were to go international.
