- Y'all said Milan was ugly. I'm hungover from the 4 negronis and lovesick for these 40 year old silver foxes. Milan is known as a fashion capital of the world, ok ok, but do they got what it takes for this fashion?

"First class, no ass" is my new life motto...
yes
Same
I’m over here stuck with big ass, second class..
💀😂😂😂
I love how comfortable he is with speaking a foreign language that he doesn't know very well!!! when I was in Italy last year I had a better grasp on the language and I STILL felt embarrassed to speak Italian (so sometimes I'd just speak in English). The key to speaking a foreign language is confidence!!!
Yes it is!!
exactly!
Couldn't agree more but the more you speak the more confidence you gain🙄
Say it louder for the people in the back!!
Right it definitely takes confidence girl id just get flustered knowing I might say smt that doesn’t make sense
Also if you or anyone checked out my second vlog or subbed I’d be super thankful ☺️
“Tomorrow’s not guaranteed, gotta look good today” Words to live by
That's my new motto in life.
I totally agree!
That's what my real name means! "Who knows when tomorrow will come "
AzureAnie What’s your real name ? It sounds beautiful
been searching for this comment
This channel is pure fresh air. Only you could bark wearing beige socks and quote Eckhart Tolle while solo drinking.
damon, c'est dingue que solange te parle ! (pardon, c'est qu'un moment de fan girling ici)
Omg Solange you're here!!! ❤
Ina !!! ❤
To this, I agree!
your videos are so good I feel like I should be paying to watch
so are your videos!! both of yall are underrated :')
AVA
i love this weird but epic crossover
Shh! don't tell him that just yet :P
I'm sincerely sorry but shut up
the music choices are always SPOT ON omg
Have u been to Milan?
MIKE
tryna make yall CRY with this classical music
Damon Dominique You said this is your DRAMA and we’re just living in it~
Now Michael Microphone and Damon Dominique THAT is an unexpected crossover. But I guess you are an italian girl from new york.
*today is a day to look GOOD*
Yesss
ms kelly stamp do a collab with damon
yall have to collab
Dying bc you said “mi piaci” instead of “mi piace” and that meant “I like you” so the lady was flattered
Omg 😂❤️
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mi piaci means I like you.
Mi piace means I like it.
The same, right?
tell me why he said "Nicki, sing to me" and I instantly went "this one's for the boys with the booming system"
UNDERRATED
I just thought of “SING TO ME PAOLO” from lizzie mcguire lmao
definitely started aggressively rapping itty bitty piggy☺️
damon btw-me and my gf were in milan on an august. the reason youre not getting any responses is likely because they entire city LEAVES milan during all of august for a religious holiday. we were there and it was a ghost town. its still my fav city though
lol yeah actually pretty much every city is empty in August, the majority of Italians go on holiday, especially for that """religious""" holiday that is ferragosto (August 15). I went to Naples the week of ferragosto and most of the napoletani were away. basically when you go around during August you will only find tourists and people that can't go on holiday
@@elisabettat5123 it's not actually religious. It was a roman mid of summer holiday which ofc christians adopted.
DEFINITELY that! On Ferragosto italian cities that are not on the seaside are empty, plus tinder culture is very different there, people are not nearly as friendly as abroad... I guess the combination of the two things made it a bit unsuccesful hahahahahahaha
@@osimonacolucci3110 that's why I used "" "". I never would have described that holiday as religious, only did because of the comment I replied to
@@elisabettat5123 oh i didn t notice them😂. God my eyes are bad
"if that piece of clothing on your body is not your favorite outfit, then why is it on your body?" Honestly, thank you for calling me out like that
RIGHTT! 😭
I'm trying to look good everyday😣🤙🏾
Seriously, I needed the wake up call! 😂
Milan is sooo beautiful 😭 thanks u for exposing the truth
ti te ciapet el like
@@giovaneitalia8312 quanta ignoranza in un solo commento: ugliest; Duomo non si traduce, al massimo Cathedral o Dome; theater. Ma la cosa più ignorante che hai detto è che Milano è brutta.
@@MrItaliansound io non scriverò' perfettamente in inglese, ma vedo che sono riuscita a comunicare lo stesso il mio pensiero, Milano resta comunque brutta e gli abitanti. ..vabbe' lasciamo perdere
@@MrItaliansound e comunque esistono anche le versioni most ugly e teathre, così come center si può scrivere anche centre. E Dom mi è uscito in tedesco, succede se parli più lingue
@@giovaneitalia8312 ma non spararne più che hai già fatto abbastanza figure di M. Parlo 6 lingue, ti sto scrivendo in Italiano perché i panni sporchi si lavano in casa. E' facile criticare la città degli altri, te di che città sei? Un Italiano non dovrebbe mai criticare nessuna città Italiana con degli stranieri. Questo era proprio il senso di questo video e te non lo hai capito.
WHO SAID MILAN WAS UGLY
Love,
- a tipical milanese
i had the same reaction !! milan is SO beautiful - another typical milanese
All the other italians 😂 sorry, it's just that we see the shopping street near the duomo amd we think that's it. I know we're wrong 😅
Same, I was shocked! Milan is amazing!!
-fellow milanese
Me too, I didn't know people thought this way about our beautiful city - another Milanese
I lived there for half a year and although I felt at home, it was very ugly. I also lived in Rome and Siracusa and found those much nicer. Milan has a lot of buildings that are neither very old nor very modern and the weather doesn’t make things prettier.
Milano is not the most beautiful city of Italy in terms of historical beauty, but it's the most cosmopolitan city: there is progress, modernity, growth. And if you know where to go is also very beautiful, especially because history and contemporaneity intersect! I love Milano ahah
Very well said! And just because it’s more modern it doesn’t mean it’s ugly it’s just different that other parts of Italy that have more remnants of the past
"Progress and modernity" is not something that I look for in cities I go to
@@korinnab.2318 it's a preference. Lots of people like modern art and architecture
Ah I loved Milano when I went there 2 years ago!
Milan is absolutely full of history! It's just outshadowed by things like shopping and skyscrapers, but if you look into it you'll find lots of very intresting facts!
Nothing's truly ugly thru the lenses of a pair of retro glasses.
Period
Who says Milan is ugly?! There is no ugly in Italy!
If only that was true.
You've clearly never been to the outskirts of Modena... or Poggibonsi... or Vibo... or Latina... or Catanzaro. Shall I continue?
What about Genoa though lol
It looks less dirty and without the need for some fresh paint, if you go at night. But stay home in daylight.
@@bbmcgee33 cos'hai contro Poggibonsi hahaha
i really appreciate how u tried your best to speak in italian even though u could've just spoken in english and don't care bout anything
True, I would have given up when they just stare at me in confusion.
My experience in Milan was that NO ONE spoke any English. I barely survived the weekend in my busted broken first level Italian. I would say one word in English and they couldn’t understand. Then I had to either say the word in Spanish or French and they kinda understood.
Apart from the the fact that Italians don't speak English it's VERY PLEASANT to watch native english speakers trying to speak in another language instead of just repeating English with a annoyed tone because they are not understood.
Omg my dyslexia thought it said "people in milan called me ugly" and i was just waiting for you to talk about it so i could comment a refute
You visited during Ferragosto which is a national holiday so everyone was out :( and museums were closed
By far the most cultured white American gay male I’ve ever seen
He's british
*Irish
@@mattthelearner2797 haha no he’s from Indiana, USA. Talks about it in so many videos and visits his home town. He also says at the beginning of this one that Milan is more beautiful than the trailer park he grew up in in Indiana.
Damon: "I like fashion"
Also Damon: **proceeds to wear cargo shorts**
all jokes aside, I gotta say he actually pulls it off, so I'll let him be THE ONLY man that's allowed cargo short rights.
LMAO i had the exact same thought but why does he look good in them
I had the same thoughts too haha. But I think he wears them as a reference to the past. Like a lot of fashion right now is unflattering odes to the 80s and 90s and exaggerating them. Like the large white dad sneakers, baggy pants, or over sized mom jeans, tiny af sunglasses that are Instagram famous etc.
I strive to have to confidence Damon has one day. Going to a different country on his own, shootin his shot on cute foreign men, all of it.
You can do it! It takes one foreign trip to build your confidence at solo travel and you'll never want to travel any other way!
Hayley Patterson be thin, be white... if not I doubt it is as easy lol
Why is no one talking about the fact that he’s going to CREMA the city where call me by your name was shooted!!
as soon as he said he’s going to crema i audibly screamed, no joke
that's probably the reason he;s going there. But the film was shot in multiple locations so he's not gon' find no beaches there lol
Hahwjeruwjwjwkskek
lol this is exactly my level of Italian. It's basically Spanish and French pronounced as Italian as possible
Damon’s “I can’t speak any Italian” is still better than my **has been learning Spanish for three years and is still too shy to speak when in Spain**
Better than my * *has been learning Italian for the past 1,5 years and soon is going to sit for the exams but still not as confident as Damon is to speak Italian* *
Confidence is key. He is not afraid of making mistakes infront of native speakers. Confidence is something I need. But native speakers really love when you try to speak their language.
learnseetaste yeah you’re right, confidence is genuinely the game-changer. I’ve got to take a leaf out of Damon’s book and just go for it
Ιωαννα Μιχαηλίδου haha he is just so naturally gifted with languages clearly!! But you got this too, good luck for the exams!
@@anniewakefieldx Thanks a lot 😊
Damon you honestly always inspire me with your life and freedom. I was sort of doubting myself before, but finding your channel has kickstarted me into planning to move abroad eventually. Whether it's in 2 years or 10 years from now, I'll always remember that it's you who gave me the courage!!!
😢😘 That is so sweet - if you really wanna make it happen, you will! And I believe you can make it happen, so lesssss goooo!!!!
This vlog had my crying laughing and simultaneously actually crying that I'm in LA until further notice. Hold it down in Europe for Americans, the FOMO is real. 😩
Juliaaa omg
definitely waiting for your visit here in Milan x
omg Juliaaa come to Verona
"People told me Milan was THE ugly" the title made me laugh 😂
Damon: "Tomorrow's not guaranteed, gotta look good today"
Me: *wearing my cousin's old ugly grey stained sweatshirt* "Damon you wise man!"
Yes, same, looking down at my old grunge shirt.. 😳
*damon trying to convince himself that travel is enjoyable without human connections too*
i was in milan a couple years ago and it was my fav place in italy actually. i can't wait to go back. ur bringing back the memz damon
You should visit other cities, such as Florence, Siena, Pisa, Venice, Turin and many others
How. If you travel more in italy your mind will change.
@@fionahodkinson8346 Positive or negative?
@@DragoSpiro98 Change in positive. Milan is actually the best city in Italy for some things, but definitely not the most beautiful. There are at least 6 or 7 italian cities that beat Milan aesthetically in my opinion.
@@fuoridisenno8226 Fully agree with you
“io capisco italiano ma non parlo” says while speaking italian. you’re phenomenal 😂
It's 3 am, got a test tomorrow, in the middle of a literal pandemic: *Hmm milan isn't ugly, gotta see that for myself.*
Milano is a city you LIVE IN! Just because it isn’t designed for obnoxious tourists who expect the grand and over-the-top doesn’t mean it isn’t beautiful! Probably one of my favorite cities!!
preach 🙌🏻
LOUDER
Damon Dominique I must ask you, have you taken any sort of art or film making classes? It is such a huge joy for me to watch these types of videos of yours. I feel like I'm watching a short film. You have such a unique style as well. And the humour in there just makes it even better :) I don't know how to express to you how much I enjoy your content. I almost want to cry haha. I am just so moved by the work and effort and passion you put into it. Thank you for making them!
When Damon said that bit about today being a good day to look good, I legit paused the video, went through my closet, changed, and went to my roommate to show off my outfit. Honestly, felt really good at 8 AM.
the damon dominique jump is JUST everything
also I’m a nursing student in the UK and watching damon travelling relaxes me; seeing the world vicariously through him is a dream (I was just thinking about the contribution to society discussion in his red wine talk with nathaniel) - especially when you literally cannot travel in case you get called up again ! a lil vid like this can bring me a bit of a joy in on a horrendous shift 💛
and damon is definitely right about the person working on a coffee counter being our life savers because a lot of nurses wouldn’t survive without caffeine 😂😂😂
also who said milan is ugly - nowhere is truly ugly; an individual who sees the beauty or creates beauty in any place even if it is considered horrid by others is someone is the person you want in your life not the person who says something isn’t beautiful without looking further into its soul
I love the way Italians say 'okay' lol.
ohKÉÉIYUHH ❤️❤️❤️
I never realised that we say it weird lol
@@froncifresh no it's so cute!
i walked past that “alcoholic pharmacy” for all of my three years of college and i never once saw it open, they probably opened it only for you
you are also so uplifting and radiant for everyone, *getting sentimental with the classical music*
hi damon! i'm italian and i just wanted to say that the lady from the "farmacia alcolica" said "spizzicare qualcosa", which basically means eating very little, without having a real meal :)) i looved the video btw, kisses
Me when I'm on Milan's Tinder and my name is Eduardo: 👁💧👄💧👁
Hi I'm Marina, I'm from Italy, I just wanted to thank you for portraying our country so well and for being so kind and unapologetically you
Looking forward to visit America one day😊 (sorry if I made some grammar mistakes)
Oh also! (14:41) actually some Italians do use that Proraso shaving cream ahahah
My grandpa used to use it everyday, I still remember its smell
People saying Milano is Ugly , probably never lived there . City is recognizable for its great city energy and Milanese people that make it that great. Milan is maybe Nyc of Europe or at least Italy . Thats where everything happens. It has amazing public parks in the middle of the city and many art happenings . City was destroyed in WWII so no one is expecting museum on an open air .... I was a foreigner living in Milan for several years and I must say , falling in love again and again for that same city never got old . Cant wait to see it again . Wish you a great time and a greater espresso with brioche
Milan as the European NYC?
You did London, Paris, Berlin and Copenhagen dirty.
@@ttstts8001 Haha maybe you are right :) However , I was talking more about that vibe of a bussines oriented city that is not capital of the country but somehow remains the center of all the happenings in it ( Italy ) But ok I guess I went too far 😂
🤣I hope you're joking,i lived in Milano in Bollate for 2 years,this city is a shithole and one of the ugliest european cities i've seen,the Duomo square is nice but for the rest is dirty,polluted,horrible streets,horrible looking neighborhoods,overpriced.I preffered Verona or any other smaller city
Anyone saying anything about anywhere in Italy being “Ugly” is crazy . Favorite European country after France and The Netherlands (Amsterdam) .
First Class, No Ass 😂😂😂
wooow what about Berlin and Budapest 😔
damn not gonna lie wasn’t a big fan of Naples👀
as an Italian i do think is a beautiful city but i get the point, it’s very neglected and dirty which is unfortunate.
The fact that you have to note Amsterdam when saying the Netherlands is just utter sadness to me😂 I’m Dutch I hate when people just know Amsterdam but we can’t help it because we’re so small.
I'm French and I'm dying for Italy. Most beautiful country in the world (with Turkey 😍)
I feel like you can’t get an understanding for any city during a global pandemic.
I'm stunned at how good he speaks Italian and I'm Italian myself
Well this is Milan. I’ve lived here for 15 years, and this is the city I really love despite a lot of negative things. I’ve never seen a vlog of my city like this.
This is different, congrats bro!
You have nailed a lot of things, i just want to mention a few:
Thrifting is not a thing here, which is a sad truth, because people here like to buy new things, and spend their money on fresh clothes. You can’t really find a lot of thrifting stores, but you can a lot of people in the malls, or in luxury stores.
Not a lot of people are fluent or are not totally English speakers, and the language barrier is really a problem not only here in Milan, but everywhere in Italy. Fortunately you can speak a little bit of Italian. But imagine someone who doesn’t? It would be really hard.
The aperitivo thing that you did, is really common here, especially for young people like us(from 18-30 years old), and the prices are around 10 euros, so you did not pay a lot, considering that you had the Negroni + food. Trust me there are some aperitivos that are way more expensive.
People here like you mentioned in the end are “afraid” of the cameras. Especially the vlogging ones. Let’s say that younger people tend not to care, but a lot of people stare at you if they see you vlog. I still dont know why, because like you mentioned there are a lot of TikTokers/vloggers now. A lot of people know. But when they see one, it’s like they see someone crazy holding a camera or phone. Idk why 🤣
Besides that, i really really like your video and you showed a lot of really cool places here 😉 hope to see you soon here again!
i could never imagine someone saying milan is ugly.....like what?
it was the "woof woof woof, who let the dogs out" for me
How do yo make friends/meet people when solo traveling? (Without using tinder)
Staying at hostels or going to (international) university student centric events for young people
Hostels and bars
Talking people in the streets or on the metro
Thank you for commenting here. Now I found one new great Spanish TH-cam channel!! :)
Couchsurfing app!
The women in Italy are always so happy and bubbly... and the men always got an attitude 😂
Waitress: "Negroni con aperitivo o vuoi solo stuzzicare qualcosa?"
Damon: *did she actually just say dszitcaricneqpowdqiehcnasx*
I love how you love yourself. It's captivating.
the music literally made me cry this was art lol this was beautiful
“This is good enough for me in my trailer park upbringing“ EXACTLY! So many of us would love to get the chance to even get on a plane to explore other places. You know someone is hella privileged to travel a lot if they start calling places ugly lmfao like wut?!?
"I heard Nicki Minaj come on the radio" 😂 He's a BARB! 💕
UM SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY NUMBER 1 ❤️❤️❤️ I KNOW ALL HER LYRICS
@@damondominique KING! SAME 😭 Hit me up for a Nicki concert 😌
I am vicariously living my life by watching Damon’s vlogs 🥺
your videos are insane!! I love them
😮
I studied and lived in Milano for almost 3 years.It’s an amazing city, it’s clean, cosmopolitan it caters everyone’s taste in culture, food, fashion and entertainment.Hope to be back soon.
Damon,you are so talented and smart I’m obsessed with your videos😍
I must confess I "like" each of your videos even before I watch them.... I'm HERE for your content 🤸
0:35 his name is Damon and he's daaating around 😂
Damon should go to Siena, those brown hues would match his social media color scheme perfectlyy
Your videos are honestly the best. Always enjoy watching :)
Oh my God, what a coincidence? I was just crying my eyes out for the millionth time because I didn't get to go to Italy due to the Coronavirus.
i’m so sorry you couldn’t go :((
i was crying because I couldn't go to Greece 😢
@@mitza420 And you are saying that to a Greek person,living in Greece.
Same, i’m Italian and i was supposed to go to Wales.
I’m still angry and it’s been a week.
i cant get back to hungary to visit my family 🥴🥺 i feel you luv
i so appreciate you somehow still making this A+ content amidst the pandemic. can't say the same for the majority of other influencers i subscribe to. this vid made me feel all the feels- thank you !
You are so darling! Thanks for taking us with you! ☺️
Damon’s videos bring me so much
does watching Damon’s videos make anyone else feel like they’re watching a european film? bc same
actually i feel a bit awkward whenever im eating a lone in a nice restaurant. anyone feel me
Depends on the place but yes, it can be really awkward if it's empty
Raphtacular or if it’s crowded but they are all not alone!
yikes haha same
He's literally eating alone at the restaurant i go to when i eat alone here in milan
I feel relaxed when eating just by myself.
i feel like i can’t even begin to express how much i love the way you edit your videos. It’s always soooooo beautiful and captivating😍😍
You being there is already great. Nothing else needed ✨
This the only channel where i would like first before i watch bcoz he never disappoints 🥺💕
Damon the quality of your videos just gets better and better each time. HOW DO YOU DO IT !!
damon i'm so hyped for this crema trip!!!
You’re videos are one of the only ones I can watch all the way through
damon going to Crema to make his own romantic call me by your name movie
People always said the same thing to me about Milan and I absolutely loved it! I have a pic of myself sitting on the first fountain you showed and the area along the rivers is absolutely breathtaking :') people really just see beauty as one thing and can't appreciate different types of beauty
The MUSIC! The vibes. I love this video
Your videos are always such an inspiration! Love it and love the new sunglasses
Milan is gorgeous!!! I kinda prefer it to Rome... there.
Me too!! Without question
i honestly don’t even like Rome. except for the big attractions it could literally be any industrial city in europe
What do you mean ? There is nothing to see in Milan ... Rome is full of monuments plus roman food is way better than food from Lombardia.
Florence though will always be my favorite❤️
Lorenzzo Klein i’ve never been to milan so i can’t compare. i’ve only been to venice, cinque terre, naples, and florence
“People told me Milan was *the* ugly”
Ok Damon
i've been living in milan my whole life and this vlog made me fall in love with my home town even more. you went to a lot of places i go to almost every day and i saw them through a completely different light through this video. thank you damon
I love watching these, there's something almost soothing about Damon trying to find the words and Italians meeting him halfway. Also, that pizza defs upstaged you, it looked so gorgeous
"There's a freaking chandelier in here"
ICONIC
Milan born and bred here: I am sooooo mad that Milan still gets the rep of an ugly city, I do not get it.
Also, unless you have high budget the shopping you can experience here is just about the same as anywhere else in the country, so I would advise against coming here for shopping AND coming here during full summer because there is literally no one in general and Pandemic Milan is even emptier than usual.
@Derevan as a Sicilian myself, that's horrible. Im sick of seeing Italians arguing with Italians about Italy things! Were all under the same tricolore.
Do you recognize any og the thrift stores?
Damon, I’m *loving* this solo channel. It really hits the spot.
The sublime editing with pieces of conversations and melancholic piano music like Damooon you're outdoing yourself 🥺❤️
“What up y’all, I’m hungover” already know it’s going to be a good video 😌
Oo the food she brought you with your drink looked so good
This was so fun to watch!
Thanks for taking me along.♥️
“That don’t impress me much” right Shania? 🤣 Damon you’re pure gold 🙌
There are people complaining about Milan being ugly. I just wanna see other places and travel right now. I don’t care how pretty they are lmao
This was soo fun to watch!
ahhh please more travel content! u never cease to amaze me
as an Italian watching this, it may be one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever SEEN. Love u bby
I'm Italian, originally from Naples but I moved to Milan 4 years ago.
I just went for a solo trip to Paris (I was completely freaking out, don't know why. Maybe 'cause I don't know french yet), and seeing you doing the same in Milan was just amazing!
You made me fall in love with this city, despite me living here for so long
Tes vidéos sont tellement agréables à regarder, j'adore la façon dont tu vis à 200% les choses, ton aisance et ta bonne humeur. 🥰
Every time you post a video it’s like catching up with a busy ol friend. Love the vibes. 🥺✨
