Milano... The night train and the Cabaret


Yes i have been in Milaan for over 2 weeks now. Arrived on first of April after a bit of a rough night on the nighttrain from Paris-Milano. I was very sick and believe me being sick on a train is not very glamourous. So after arriving 3 hours late in the early morning we headed for the hotel in Via Giusti, where I come since 1998. But first i had to be so clumsy to leave my finger in between the door of the taxi, ouch! It was very painfull and i was wondering what else could go wrong...
So finally arrived and well entered the room i just had to sleep again!!! My body was exhausted and feeling very weak. Waking up I felt lightheaded and needed to eat something because i was rather empty. But the only food that i could possibly bare the thought of was some rice. Well that was no problem since the area around the hotel is very Asian!! Over the years that I have been staying here it has become a real Chinatown. So the rice was no problem, eating it was. I couldn't eat more than 2 bites....
After this we headed for the Cabaret where we did a rehearsal and a very succesfull first show. The boss Giani very happy to have a nice classy, sexy and glamourous ballet and i was happy that he was happy. So for so far our mission was accomplished. Now we have to keep him happy!! I was completely dead and felt very weak, i was happy we didn't have to work the next day! Yeah Sunday's off! And believe me i needed it.
