The first thing you think when you arrive in Milan Central Train Station is ‘who the fuck would ever want to live in a shithole like this?’

Italy is a country full of charm, friendly people and culture. Milan has next to none of these qualities, unless you include rich people gaping at anorexic models prancing around on a catwalk in absurdly-priced fashion creations as culture.
