Non usare carrelli (leggete gli avvisi)

We could see a bit of italy as the plane flew down before landing. The great view was lost, unfortunately but it was still interesting.

The plane landed we got out and for the first time we were in Malpensa.

Ive thought almost all my life about quoting Indiana Jones when I would go to another country and stuff: first line in everyplace would be like "Ah... ". This was in my mind since days before "Ah... Malpensa"... And at the moment I did forget...

Fot those that dont know: Malpensa is the airport of Milano. Its actually half hour away from town.

When we got inside the building, passports ready, the corridor was imense. I went on trying to figure where to go if there would appear a new path to follow.

Before any new way to go, there was this place where we could follow on foot or go up one of those places we see in movies where the person can stand still and e moved by the floor untill the destination.

The only problem is that there was this sign about not using luggage with wheels over it. No problem... brazilians arent adapted to read signs...

When people paint lines on the floor with different colors you THINK they would want to make things clear for everyone. That was clearly not the case, cause many people saw interrogated the only woman spotted ahead and it wasnt clear enough even after we all heard her.

We finally found our way to the passport guiches. It was so cool to watch my wife check her passport at the UE citizens area.

Me, i went from one line to another until I reached a bald guy and said my first lines in italian in Italia: "rimarrò a Vigevano" (I will stay in Vigevano).

That was some easy chatting until i got my passport back and he said "You couldve enter in the UE line with your wife"...

Too late to know this time, but I wont have problems on the next.

We got the luggage, check where was the bathroom and followed the directions we got from the man we rented the apartment from. It was an easy trip.
