hi,  I'm english .been  here since august.  it's chaotic but nothing compared to london :P  depends where you're working for housing...near work would be best cos the public transport is packed full of ppl, theres no limit, literally shoulder to shoulder.c ya can imagine how disgusting it gets when it's really hot lol. most of the city is fairly safe. not the most friendly of places, but theen coming from london, it's not too bad :)

Definitely on the concrete jungle side of things, plus so much graffiti. Summer is hot though so all is forgiven. Lots of °µÍø½ûÇø groups here with regular nights/days out. PM me if you want a list of the °µÍø½ûÇø groups etc

On a side note, I am happy I made the move.

Hi dbuk, these "°µÍø½ûÇø groups" are just for "°µÍø½ûÇø people"?
I'm trying hard to find a mother tongue english speaker (I tried this forum, meet up, easy milano etc. etc.) but probably you are not interested in language exchange? Perhaps there is too much demand and just few °µÍø½ûÇøs? Or maybe °µÍø½ûÇøs simply don't like me?!! :)

Hope the last one is not the right one.
Suggestions?

BTW lilacstar, obviously, I'd love to meet you

Hey sdd,

Na, these groups are open to everyone - in fact I think there might be more Italians going than English etc. Definitely worth checking them out!

I made a post in the forum with a link to some of the ones I have found.

Cheers,

Danny

Hi,
I am Samy, Italian, but lived in London for 13 years and now in Milan for the past 10 months.
It's relaxing compared to London, you'll find is small and easy to reach anything with the pubblic trasport, a small but effective system, also cheap compared to the tube.
You'll need to get the hang of things, some shops are not open all day, many supermarkets closed on Sunday but options are there, you'll just need organisation skills.lol
I live in Affori, which is all right, cheap, seams like a village but is 20 min by tube from the Duomo.
So the best of both worlds.
I hope you'll have a good time, if there's anything I can help with just drop me message.
Take care.
samy
