Two years ago, Zach and I backpacked around Italy for a week. The word from other travellers about Milan was that it was dirty and industrial - the New Jersey of Italy. On our way through the train station, we saw enough filth and dirt to keep moving and bypass the city.
But today I was blown away by Milan. From the few hours after working at the private airport all day yesterday and today that I walked around downtown near the Duomo, I can safely say that Milan is by far the coolest city I have ever visited.
Nick Gray WFU: Dad and I were wearing nice pants and nice Oxford-type shirts
Nick Gray WFU: and I felt really under-dressed tonight
Nick Gray WFU: everybody downtown - nice
sport coats, jackets, sweaters... We stumbled upon some super-hip trendy bar, and... I think I've been to some cool places in Los Angeles and I've at least walked some streets in NYC, but Emily, I've never seen anything like this city
Cool in an attitude sort of way. Honestly, every single person I saw tonight - thousands of walking fashion advertisements. This place is clean everywhere - on the streets, in the restaurants, even the architecture..... I'm just, like, really impressed by Milan right now. I can't wait to come back when I have some money and a language guide. Honestly, if you are buying a new wardrobe - do it over here. OH MY GOD I am so pissed to be leaving here tomorrow. SERIOUSLY, wow, Milan, you know? The Galleria Vittorio.... MWAH! Canon had their great aerial photo exhibit on display for at least two kilometers of outside walkway nearby - also very impressive.
