Easter Break Part 2
Thursday, April 26, 2007
We went to Nice on the next day, but after that we separated with the guys coz they were going somewhere else. It was very hot in Nice, a little hotter than Spore. We felt like going from winter (in Paris) to summer suddenly there without going through spring. The days spent in Nice were very relaxing. There weren't many things to see except for some historical sites, the beach and market. It's just nice strolling through the streets or sitting on a bench looking at the sea. And we ate ice cream! Coz the weather was so hot, the ice cream tasted sooo delicious.Oh, there was one time when we got quite bored since we've finished visiting all the places, so we just sat on a bench in a quiet, elevated street. We were just talking when suddenly we saw on the street below a group of people fighting. A girl and 4 guys. They made quite a scene that a policeman approached them and asked them to fight not in public. LOL. So the gal walked angrily and in tears towards the inner street, which was right in front of us, but still below. A guy followed her and grabbed her hand but she pushed him away, then she slapped him, then hit him dunno how many times. The guy just let her. Then his friends came to his rescue and scolded the gal. But that guy scolded his friends instead. She stopped hitting and cried. Then they all just stand around quietly. The 'show' went on for quite long. Me and Dingying were really enjoying it. Well, we were so bored before then suddenly there was this thing. So we made a scenario. Dingying said the guy cheated on her, the gal just found out, the guy still likes her and wanna apologize but she refused. I agreed and added tt the guy cheated on her with her bestfriend, seeing how angry she was. Dingying agreed, then we both laffed. But suddenly we realised those guys were looking at us. We guessed they knew they're being watched. Then they went up towards us. I was asking Dingying whether we should leave and run now, but she said it'll be too obvious. So we just stayed there. Wah, scary sia. They really came, but only ask for a cigarette. We said we don't smoke. Then they sat on the bench just beside us. We thought they're gonna say something else but they didn't, until we finally left.
Next destination was Monte Carlo. Now, this is the place for rich people, really. Me and Dingying were joking tt our mission that day is to charm a rich man each and bring them back with us. Haiz... Mission not accomplished, people. Damn! I'll still have to walk up the Supelec slope. LOL. But seriously, staying in Monte Carlo just makes us feel poor. Hahaha... Everywhere were rich people, the hotels and shops were exclusive ones. So many people driving Ferrari and other luxury cars. Nothing much to see there actually, we just went to the palace for a while, had a great view from the top of the city. It's really quite small, then visited the casino but only the smaller one coz it's free. We played and lost 15euros. :( Next month is the Formula1 race in Monte Carlo, so I saw them preparing for it, the stands were being installed etc. I also visited the famous hairpin :D Finally we ended up with nothing to do, so we bought ice cream and sat at the harbour there where yachts were parked. U all know what? While we were sitting and talking, a guy approached us and said "Hey, my friend over there (he pointed to a yacht) needs girls to work on his yacht. Are u interested?" What the hell man!!!! They think we're what??? Damn them! We just turned him down. Our train that night got delayed for an hour, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Because of that, we got the chance to see Monte Carlo at night. It was beautiful with the lights, we saw it from the palace which is on a hill. So the view was fantastic. :D
The final visit was Cannes. If u all have watched Mr. Bean 'The Holidays', u should noe it. Cannes is famous for the film festival. But strangely, the building used to hold the film festival is really ugly. If not for the posters and the red carpets, it wouldn't look like that kind of building at all. Anyway, when we're walking, a woman emerged from the crowd behind us, then walked so sexily past us. YeeJia commented, "Hey, is she catwalking?" We were like, yeahh, think so.... It's only a few minutes earlier we realized they were shooting a film. LOL. No wonder she walked like that. Hahaha... Oh wells...
Not much to say about Cannes, not much to see also, we just ate ice cream again. Oh, the beach is nicer there, coz it's sand. In Monte carlo, Nice and Marseilles, it's stones. And yeah, for the guys, I'll answer your question: there were nude gals. LOL. (Everytime I said I went to Cote d'Azur for Easter break, the first thing the guys ask is that *roll eyes*)
Hmmm okieee... That's about all for my Easter break. Overall, I think the places were good but not excellent. But the whole trip was very relaxing, fun and really really enjoyable coz of the companions :D
Meanwhile, I've only uploaded half of the photos of the trip ( the link's on the left ). Took so many pics, so had to upload in steps. Haha...
