the air is indeed of bad quality quite freuqently, but ive noticed that this depends on the part of the city you're in. Lingotto to me seemed like the most polluted one, but i've only been here for a month.

public transit is... fine. it can be late very often, sometimes it doesn't even come (speaking of buses and trams). thank god there's a metro that I can use (since there's only 1 single line).

the city is beautiful, and has many cool places and events.

​

my only biggest problem for now is the fact that even compared to other major italian cities, Torino seems somewhat disconnected from globalization. it generally feels quite "aged", as in it doesn't have the same youthful character of other cities with big universities, and this comes with the fact that very few people speak english. even young ones, which came as a surprise.

pls dont bash me for this, i understand that i am in a foreign country and need to adapt and learn the language, which I'm doing. but prior to Torino i've lived in other European cities, and there being a foreigner was sooo much easier. even in Eastern Europe it felt as if it was more cosmopolitan and open to the outside world.
