Lugano-city (for a man that came from Italy) Hi, I am Tiz131 and living to Lugano from 6 years I writing where I live. It is small city, live 68500 peaple and it is in front of lake, altitude 273m and weather nice :-) . The name lake is Lugano. The core city is very nice but a lot of expensive ( in general all Ticino is expensive), it is a young city, the buildings are modern and the political is innovation. The home and old buildings, sometimes very beautiful it is difficult to see, very frequently the companies demolish for new and hight buldings. The space around Lugano is not alot, the montain is very near. The university in these years has changed the city. I think improve the city because, yung university, p&d , professors have step by step open the door the change. The pub are close more late, the shows, events are increased. And activity USI sport have a pull sport young in Lugano. I think is not easy live in Lugano, because the native people is close but the change is starting. Zurigo and Ginevra are very open and intercultural to Lugano. The works are difficult to find because the competition with near Italian is strong and because the fisical space (Lugano) is not a lot. Only few student find a job in Lugano. The Italian border people usually work in construction industry, factory, shop, or tecnical. A lot of peaple every day came and return to Italy, or leave to Lugano in the week end. The people in the WE leave Lugano to return their parents or familiar in Italy or inside Swiss. The city in the WE are empty.. for my, I born in Italy and it is very different. Ok.. I go to eat see you next time Bye Bye
