Adobe MAX Europe 2008 official report (part 4)
13.12.2008 Alexander KarpovichAfter waking up in a good condition, we took a walk to the centre of Milan (we completed business task already).
City centre met us with a crowds of cute and well dressed people, nice architecture, tasty pizza and coffee.
Duomo temple became our main impression there. They were building it for 600 years, and it’s worth it.
At the evening we managed to find a good club without tourists - Gioia 69. There was a good party, despite the fact that we got Anton’s jacked robbed (along with his passport). We didn’t find the thief, and once the club was closed, we left outside at the middle of the night.
It took us hour and a half to get to police station (patrols on flashy alpharomeos didn’t help us even with the taxi). We wrote some papers, got blue stamp, and went back to hotel to catch a couple of hours to sleep.
Thanks guys from russian embassy in Milan, we’re going home, the quest is done.
