Re: Scrap a UK in Italy

Just wanted to share something which made me jump when I heard it.

Re: Scrap a UK in Italy

Re: Moving to Milan after 10 years in London

Yes, I agree that the Scuola Europea has a good reputation but I would not advise Varese. It's VERY provincial with hardly any decent services. If you must commute, I'd sooner go to Bergamo or Como...

Re: Moving to Milan after 10 years in London

Hi ItaLondon,
I know Milan fairly well and I live near there. It's probably the least Italian of the Italian big cities but it's not bad. It all depends what you are after and what you are used to...
