milano stairs

when in milan, do as others do?
it doesn't quite work does it.

well anyway, when we were there we climbed the piazza duomo. everyone went up via the same stairs and then came down on the same stairs. as we went up, people coming down were counting loudly and we got disheartened at hearing how many stairs they had counted already and therefore how many we had left.

so when someone said 67 left and we were up in the next 10 steps we were surprised and realised they lied to us.

so when we went down we counted fake numbers.
after the third turn we said something like 78 and one girl went WHAT? nooooo.

i'm pretty sure she's the only one we fooled but it was worth it. :)
