Hi Folks,
I wrote some things yesterday but they actually disappeared (it was a draft but seemed to have gotten lost somewhere inside the blog system). This will be a short entry because I've got to go back to the end of the world where my hotel is and it takes forever in the evening.
I'm still searching for an apartment. The two apartments which were serious candidates turned out to be noisy - motorcycles, trams, buses, cars, and.... church bells. I was told that this is life in the big city so I said, OK, but one can live on a side road, not ON the main street... So the search goes on. There is also the issue of the "box" a parking place for a car - the woman from the tourism office gave up on a car, but I don't think I want to give up on this one. And, the question of air conditioning - they're coming to the realization here in Milan that one does need air conditioning. That it's hotter than it seems and one would be happier if one had air conditioning in one's apartment....
Tomorrow I give my first presentation - which is another reason why I need to start the trip back to the hotel - so I can get a good night's rest and also prepare myself for this presentation. I hope it goes well.
Other than this - there are a million things to do here, workwise, I'm trying to keep track of everything.
The ice cream here definitely lives up to my expectations...
Shana tova to everyone, gmar hatima tova. and thanks for bearing with me, being patient with my very brief replies and reading my blog. I promise to go back to writing more extensively once I'm settled in a place of my own.

Perhaps there are no streets in Milan without trams, motorcycles, church bells, etc. There didn't seem to be any in Florence! However, keep trying. Shana tova and gmar hatima tova.
It's a city not country.
That's a typical comment of a real estate or a hotel manager.
I'm sure you still remember the hotel in Zurich when we couldn't sleep because of the noise. BTW when we stayed at Chur we could hear the church bells four times an hour with extras on the full hour.
