An Expat Talks about Moving to Milan, Italy
What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?
Milan
Name three things that you wish you had brought and three you wish you had left at home.
Milan is a cosmopolitan city like all others — NYC, London, Paris — where you can find anything and everything you need. As far as clothing is concerned, dress like you would in NYC in all four seasons. Women and men are usually elegantly casual. Other than that I would only bring endearing personal possessions and prescribed medications along with the prescription so you can refill when needed.
