milan is an ugly city.

Okay, I admit that is kind of judgmental. The reason I make this accusation is because there is graffiti everywhere. Also, it kind of reminds me of New York. See picture below:
Now imagine this all over. It is on anything and everything that resembles a building (and even on some light posts). According the Milan Tourism booklet, they are making an effort to clean up the city and make it look pretty. I am calling a bullshit on that one. Sorry, Milan, but you lose this round.

I started my Italian class today. I know how to say my name, how I am, how old I am, and where I am from. I am basically fluent.
