In Milano, everyone walks or takes some form of public transportation, whether to class, work, or anywhere else.
One of the things I found most interesting about this country is that about 85% of the people I encountered spoke English. It made me think about how much more difficult my experience would have been if they didn’t. It also made me think about the experience of foreigners traveling to the United States, where they’re expected to know English, or they’re out of luck. I even felt bad asking Italians if they spoke English, because I felt as though I were the one who should be making an effort to speak Italian. These realizations made me want to put in even more energy to learn the beautiful Italian language.
I adjusted really well to Italian culture, so you could say my honeymoon phase in Italy lasted a very long time. I love Italy, and I can't wait to go back!
