My European Trip - Part 6

I get back to northern Italy. The train ride over was... fine, I suppose. As soon as I get back, I have to go to the Turin Metro to get back to the hotel. I have a 50 Euro note and I'm trying to use to buy a ticket for the Metro, but after a few failed attempts, I realize the machine doesn't accept more than 20 Euro notes, so I have to break it.

I go into one of the stores in the train station. A clothing shop. There's this cute storekeeper. She looks like a barbie doll. I tell her how beautiful I think she is. She smiles and thanks me. She breaks the note. I buy the ticket and I'm back at my hotel.

That night, we go out to dinner in a nice restaurant nearby. A good time was had by all. I get back to the hotel. I charge my phone. I go to sleep. The next day, Juventus is playing Udinese in the Allianz stadium, and we're invited.

---

I wake up, take a shower, put on fresh clothes and go downstairs to have the usual hotel breakfast. Then I ask the receptionist to print the ticket from my phone so I can have a physical copy. I email it to them. They don't get it. I try it again. After a while, it finally works. I also realize I don't have any cash and I need some. I go to the nearest ATM down the street and get some. The ATM took a long time to extract the cash. Made me worried a bit. Eventually, it works.

We get on the bus to the stadium. It's a shame that the Turin Metro doesn't reach that stadium, which is on the northwestern edge of the city. It's annoying.

We get there. The first thing is going into the mall that's adjacent to the stadium. It's your average mall. Nice enough, I suppose, but on a sunday like this, it's jampacked with Juve fans who came to see the same game I did.

Still, it's two hours before the game actually starts, so I'm in the mall, taking my time and walking around. Sometimes I look for places to sit down. My legs are killing me.

Finally, it's game time. We go into the stadium, past a lot of security measures. We go into our seat, and it's a great view of the pitch.

And then the song starts. All the fans sing together. This is a video of me doing it:

The crowd is pumped and we're good to go. The game begins. All about it in part 7.

Stay tuned.
