No I don't live so "north".. Living near Tirol would mean to live in extreme north of Italy...

With a Rock n Roll HoF, all the new high end restaurants, and other businesses.. Cleveland is not hurting so much.  It recovered fairly well.

Never been to Milan, once been in Florence a day and a week in the Tuscany, but that was more than ten years ago.

And the air must be better .... ;) Crikey, the port and mill area stank to high heaven ...
Some of my most surreal memories are from un-loading in the middle of the night - truly, truly strange ...hugh pieces of machinery, sounds, smells ... like 1984 on steroids ...

Milan is just special for shopping,
it's the focal point for fashion, and for industries and technology and so on....
But if you like history and art Rome is 100 times better than Milan... and it's more cheap.. Milan has the highest prices in whole Italy.. Prices here sometimes 30% higher than other cities in Italy..
Also Florence is very good for art btw....

Hey! we are talking about a city that caught a river on fire!    "giggles"  Epic fail! 

It is much cleaner. Lake Errie is not even so scary any longer.    =]

Try to talk to a chinese about accent, then you'll never bother with any accent in your own language any more, whatever kind of western language is your mother tongue
