only one regret so far

= buying a 5e map at the central train station in Milan.  I had written it all down:

  1. flight times
  2. where to get on a shuttle bus to downtown Milan, how much this was going to cost, how often it came and when
  3. which metro lines to take to get to my hostel
  4. street directions from the final metro station to the hostel door

and yet, when I arrived in Milan at 9:30 at night I got worried about getting lost in the dark anid bought a map at the tourist kiosk at the station.  its plastic and waterproof and, thus, hard to fold.  I haven’t used it once.  the hostel had awesome paper maps with all the typical tourist places marked on it.  for free.

what a waste of 5e.  that’s over 7$.  boo.
