allegra Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 We have the same word in spanish= merienda. It's normally used for a snack between lunch and dinner, in the afternoon. i know and you use also "merendare" unfortunately we have not a verb... we just say "to do merenda"...

Nezza Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I'm neither of them but you're right: I would avoid Central Station as much as possible, especially in the evening. Last saturday it was 29°C. Really?? It didn't feel that warm Or at least, it didn't feel like it does when it hits that kind of temperature in the UK & am liking all this chat about ice lollies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Guys, I still don't know if I'll be there with you, but if I have good news on Wednesday, my friend Elena and me would be pleased to have lunch with you! I have a question: Does the tube work during the night? Other question: How much does it cost to leave the car in a parking? And, how is it, really, to drive in the city? (Cause maybe I'll come with the car, Elena lives in Tessin, like one hour from Milan ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertina Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) http://www.atm-mi.it/ATM/eng/ anything you need about transport in milan about parking, i'm not the one to ask really! i don't live in Milan i'll park my car in the street, and i'll pay my ticket... driving in milan is like driving in any other big city... do you have a navigator? that would help Edited May 18, 2009 by robertina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allegra Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I dont remembere exactly the hour of the stop of tube... is from 0.00 to 1.00, see the website... wait a moment and i give you info about parking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allegra Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) DRIVING: - you can not drive free downtown in this area http://www.ecopassmilano.com/ecopassarea.asp - saturday there is a lot of traffic, but not the usual traffic concentrated in peak hours - driving is a chaos like all cities, but not so impossible. Theatre's area is rather quiet PARKING: - to find a free park is a mission impossible - there are a lot of expensives buildings for parking - the parking area on the streets delimited by yellow lines: you can not park (they are reserved for resident) - the parking area on the streets delimited by blue lines: you can not park free, you must pay... you must buy tickets for every hour and you find them at tabacco shops, bar, or men with orange dress. (the cost is 1.00-1.20-1.50 euro/hour... it depends on the area..) near the venue there are 3 Parking buildings, they have discounts, if you say them the password "Teatro Franco Parenti": MEGLIOLA Via Pier Lombardo 26 fee: 2.00 euro per hour (and not 2.50) you must go away with the car before 1.00 a.m. GARAGE BOTTAUTO Via C. Botta 37 fee: 2.50 euro per hour (and not 3.00) you must go away with the car before 2.00 a.m. PARKING CAR SERVICE Via Pier Lombardo 29 fee: 2.00 euro per hour (and not 2.50) you must go away with the car before 1.00 a.m. if i know some free parking in the area... the next time i pass there... i will tell you Robi... please correct mistakes now Edited May 18, 2009 by robertina done!

allegra Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Theatre's street Via Pier Lombardo has just parking area for resident. There is a perpendicular street who has blu area parking (with tickets to pay). blu area on the streets: you pay just untill 0.00 am and then is free for the night my conspiracy conpiraciousus about parking is: to find a free parck.. far of the venue... and maybe... at evening.... to bring my car near the venue and pay just few hours for the park i can be there with my but i prefere to have a car if i must to transport some fan somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've counted. I think it'll be the same cost to come in train or to go in a parking... sooooo We still have options! Or come with the car and sleep in Switzerland (free night ^^) or come with the train, no traffic jams, but sleep in a hotel. Arf. I want to be on Wednesday to plan all this (maybe...)!!

allegra Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 the theatre is just outside the ecopass area (area where you can not circulate free... you must pay... is complicated to understand) http://www.ecopassmilano.com/img/varchi.pdf if you see the map, the theatre is near the number 20 in the blu little circle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allegra Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 i'm sure there is a free parking at 1.5 km from the theatre... but is a street quite dark and maybe dangerous at night... maybe some of us can park there and some of us park near the venue, and then we can trasport each others ok is not english understandable that but i'm doing my best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allegra Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 this means that we DON'T have to buy an ecopass, right? no, if you dont pass the other side of the perpendicular street... but it depends wich car you have... it is a bit complicated http://ecopass.atm-mi.it/pollutioncharge/Iweb/CercaClasse.aspx this is the reason because i circulate with and i'm a customer of bike sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
