I, I was talking about this with a friend a few days ago, um, about the fact that when you leave, when you've lived abroad, or, I mean, if you're a foreigner living abroad, I feel like you need to find other people that have experienced the same thing that you have experienced, because it does change you, changes the way you see things and you see, um, h- and you, h- how you want to live your life.

Um, and it's very nice in Milan because there are so many of these people, I mean, among my friends as well, uh, but I meet every day, like, someone who has lived abroad and, uh, who came back, so you face the same, um, challenges, uh, of, like, being back, but also the same good things, like you're happy to be back.

Um, and I love how, yes, there are so many foreigners here, um, so you can also keep this international vibes that you've experienced when you were living abroad, which is something I was afraid I would really miss.
10:53
Uh, but I've met so many really nice international people, and now I can still experience this thing by be- still being at home, um, which is very cool.
11:05
Um, and I think a lot of Milanese don't leave Milan and don't have this experience because we feel like we have everything here, why, why should we leave? Um, but actually, to me, it hel- it has helped me a lot to love, fall in love with the city again, uh, because it can become too much Milan if you've spent all your life here.

You know, why do people hate Milan?
