ミラノで意識なくなりました。ああ、怖かったしびっくりした。。。でも一緒にいた人の方がびっくりしただろうな。。。
金曜日の仕事後、日本のPRをしている同僚とディナー。何食べたい？と聞かれたので、迷わず「米！」と答える。しばらく食べてなかったから（っていうかイタリア着いてから食べてない）なんかめっちゃ食べたくて。。。で、ミラノで新装開店したおっしゃれーな和食屋さんへ。めっちゃひさびさにご飯、味噌汁、秋刀魚の焼き物、刺身等を堪能。その後は同僚のお家に一晩お世話になる。翌朝、彼女の家の近くのバールで朝食を食べ、その足で私はミラノ中心街へ。ホテルにまずチェックインしてからお散歩へ！
まずは大好きな10 Corso Comoがある、Corso Comoエリアへ地下鉄で移動。色々と見て周りつつ、Duomo方面へ歩く。途中、色んなお店に入ってwindow shopping.Duomoエリアのお店も見つつ、ミラノのショッピング街のVia Manzoni, Via Monte Napoleno, Via della Spigaを歩く。すっごくたくさん歩いたけど、土曜はとても良い天気だったので気持ちよかったー！買い物もできたから満足満足！その後はひとまずホテルに戻って友達との待ち合わせにそなえる。友達（ジルサンダーの元同僚）とはジルオフィスの前で待ち合わせ。（かわいそうに土曜なのに働いていた）待ち合わせ後は、Corso Comoエリアにあるかわいらしいトラットリアでお食事！白ワインを一本空けつつ（殆どは彼女が飲んだけど）、とってもおいしい料理を食べて大満足！美味しいもの食べるって幸せだよねー。ディナー後は、Duomoのすぐ近くにあるbar, Bar Strafへ。ここは新しくできたらしく、話題なんだそう。飲み物を頼み、外の階段に座ってしばしトーク。と思っていたらだんだん気分が悪くなる。あ、やばい、意識無くなる！とわかったので、ひとまずドリンクを隣に置き、何も言わず気を失ったら友達がめっちゃ驚くだろうと思い、遠のく意識の中、一言「気持ち悪い」と告げたと同時に真っ暗。その後何が起きたかは全くわからない。気がついたら、階段に座っていたのに、なぜか地面（地べた）に寝てる自分と、友達の「おーい、これアルコール入ってないよー！」というフレーズ。ああ、びっくりした。っていうか本当に気持ち悪かった。なんだったんだろう。。。未だになんで気を失ったのかがよくわからない。疲れちゃったのかな。。。
今週は友達から救援物資が2箱届いた。わーいわーい♪皆ありがとう！大事に使います＆食べさせていただきます！
I passed out in Milan... damn that was scary. Although I think I freaked out the friend that was with me more... Frida y after work, my co-worker took me to dinner and she also let me stay over her place in Monza, which is in the outskirts. She had a very nice place which was really comfortable. Saturday morning, we had breakfast together at a bar close to her station and afterwards I took the train to Milano Centrale station. Got to the station, checked in at my hotel and off I went to a stroll around town. Took the subway to Porta Garibaldi station and looked around the Corso Como area. Then, walked towards the Duomo, making a few stops at some shops and walked over to the shopping mecca of Milan, via Monte Napoleone, via Manzoni and via della Spiga. After my shopping spree (okay, not really... but I did buy a few things. Thanks to the yen being so strong) went back to my hotel and chilled until my time to meet my friend (ex-coworker at Jil Sander) for dinner.
Met up with my friend in front of the Jil Sander office (which is located very close to the Duomo), walked over to Corso Como and had a very nice dinner at a very cute trattoria. Definitely a place I would take people to next time I am in town! We opened a bottle of white wine and had a great dinner. Afterwards, walked over to the Duomo and went to a bar nearby (Bar Straf, which is supposedly a new, posh hang out in Milan). We ordered our drinks, and went outside to sit on some stairs nearby. Thats when I started feeling really sick. And I could totally feel the world closing down on me. I could feel that I was going to pass out, so I put my drink down told my friend that I was feeling really sick and bam, I was gone. I have no recollection of what happend in between but when I regained consciousness, I was lying down on the street and I could hear my friend telling me that the drink we ordered doesnt have alcohol in it. Man, that was just really really scary. Passing out is not fun... I still dont really know why I did. I guess I was really tired....
