Hi

I met my boyfriend in april last year. We only started seeing each other after he said he was moving back to Milan. I decided I wanted to move here to be with him and have now lived here since the beginning of november.

I am not working at the moment but am looking to start an Italian course next month.

I would love to meet some new people who are in the same situation as me, it gets a bit lonely as my boyfriend is working and we live in a little village outside Milan. So not much for me to do.

Also, I love his friends and they have all been very good to me but when they are having a conversation in Italian I don't know what they are saying so I have to sit there, sometimes it gets a bit boring.

If anyone wants to arrange a meeting to get to know Milan or just go for a drink somewhere, let me know!

I look forward to hearing from people soon!

Emily

Hi,
I just arrived in Milan last week. I too am in a small town outside Milan.
I am struggling to find someone in the town who speaks english.
Where are you living?
I am in Seregno.
Hope to hear from you.

Hello again,
Sorry for the late reply. I am working in Seregno as nanny from 4pm till 9:30pm during the week and free on weekends.

What are you both doing this Sunday??? Perhaps a day of exploring or shopping in Milan?

that would be fun! i think i will be free -- i have to turn in a draft for a freelance job i'm working on for something in NYC, but i will know by tomorrow afternoon if i have to stay in :-(

it looks like the weather is going to be pretty gross this weekend. maybe we can check out a museum? there's a PIXAR exhibit that's supposed to be good. or brunch is always a nice option!
