Shocked first week

Pass through Russia,North Europe, London, my flight arrived Milan. Because of serious cold and sore throat, I almost lost my voice in the first few days.I am not able to speak when I walked out Milan airport.
What I see is all written in Italian. If I get lost and ask someone where you are. People would like to help me, but they keep talking in Italian and ignore I am a foreigner. No way that I can speak English in daily life, except in school.

Milan is not as modern as I think and looks very dirty. Politecino Di Milano uni has big and beautiful campus as NCKU( the university I studied in Taiwan). However our management school, MIP, is outside the beautiful and big campus and it's just a big building. No tree, no flowers, no grass. When I saw the building, I wonder why I am here and how I could survive here without English, especially I have no idea about Italian lanuage. I felt down and wanna go home. However, I'm already in Milan, this is a brand-new world for me. What important is WHAT I could learn from studying and here.

I met some nice Taiwaneses, they are so friendly and share exoerience with me. So I feel not so scary. Thanks God! I am so lucky to find a Taiwanede girl let me stay in her room until I find my own place. It frustrates me to find a place. Because most Italian can't speak English, I can't just make a phone call and go to take look of room by English. So I get a room from a Chinese landord, it takes only 15-20 mins from the accommodation to school bt bus. The room is quite small and with bad soundproof. The owner speperate one big room into two rooms, so my room shares a light with the other room. I'm trying to get a new place to move out.
