Quick Summary (August 21st, 2006)

First day: BAD. - delay in flights.

2º day: BAD. - problems with the room in the residence (the girl wanted to give me a room under the roof where the sun beats all the day in and being so taller as I am I couldn't arrive tothe closets).

The best thing of the day: I know Montse and Ana, two girls from Barcelona, very nice . The tourism during the day seeing the MAMAC and the hill of the castle makes me die.

3º day: BAD. - after doing a test of level in a very short time, they had waiting for two hours to let us know in wich group we should be.

I went to have a walk and take a coffee but it costs me near 4 euros.

The worse thing: I had requested specifically morning turn and they put me in the evening. I asked for a change and they said no.

4º day: I'm still very ungry with the academy France Langue. I see that there is people changing group but they don't change me even when I'm asking to go to a lower level. Grammar classes are not very goog and they only give us photocopies of verbs.

5º day: they continue to ignore me in the academy. I begin to resign myself and to try to take advantage of the mornings to take a walk by the beach but with that "fine stone sand" it is impossible.

6º day: I try to what it's visitable in Nize and I haven't seenyet like some museums or some monuments. I'm meeting my friends from Barcelona and other people from their school to have dinner. Crepes are good and mainly the one of Nutella with Banana.

7º day: I already begin to have a more positive vision because the weekend approaches and we have plans to go to Monaco and as there is no remedy for the classes...

8º day: Monaco is the incredible. We went Palace of Grimaldi: it's much more smaller than it seems and we see all the places where they receive people and they celebrate official acts.

DO NOT FORGET TO PUSH THE GREEN BUTTON. This is one joke because the audio-guide that they give you when entering the Palace repeat that all the time.

9º day: Girls are going to the glamurous Saint-Tropez and I dedicate the day to visit Eze, Saint Paul de Vence and Cagnes Haut. They are all very pretty medieval little villages. The worse thing: I cut myself with a bottle in gare rutier (bus station). The best thing: although in Eze the castles and some buildings very well conserved are hotels, the panoramic view from the exotic garden is incredible.

10º day: today I do not have school because there is again test of level for new students and finally am in morning group; what means that Wednesday will be my first day because Tuesday is holiday. Day to walk in Nize and night in Cannes with Farsana, very nice girl from Afganistan who lives in Germany. The anecdote of the trip: we had dinner in the Carlton Hotel because she listened to Arabian music and it costs 50 euros to her for a menu in which there was a pile of plates (that all of them were the first dish and no more food to come). She did not eat much waiting for the 2º food that never arrived because the following thing was the dessert.

11º day: the plan was to go to Villefranche sur Mer and CAP Ferrat but bus 81 does not work neither Sundays nor holidays, so at the end we changed destiny: JUAN LOS PINOS (this is the translation into spanish, as the real name is Joant-Les-Pins) and Antibes. It was good but at the end it begins to rain.

12º day: finally class in the morning ! The teacher of grammar is not better than the other but the one of conversation is very expressive and is amused although a little obsessed by "affairs" that can arise in class.

13º day: I went with my collegues from class to upload some photos and to release memory of the camera but they do not let to me go without eating. Really smart: Gabriella, her fiancè and Juanjo, a Valencian. Also Ken ate with us, the japanese guy from our class. At night we took a coctel from 2.5 liters in one glass(Sex on the beach) really good! with the Spaniards and two Mexicans.

14º día: Finally friday... and the end is very near. So we need to clean the room and say goodbye to my Catalan friends. At the end I went out with the two Mexicans from the residence but everything was strange: we were with people who did not appear until much more late and we returned to a pub where French waiter had told us in a not very amiably way that if in 5 minutes we decided what we wanted to drink, fine, otherwise we should go out to the street. So as I needed to get up early to leave my wonderful room, I went away to sleep.

15º day: "madame" of the residence makes me clean again the frying pan. I already was prepared because she was really unpleasant the previous day to Montse and Ana , as if we were adolescent... I did stay the day with Farsana and her fiancè. They have a really nice apartment and when we went to the swimming pool I felt with the bad leg and I started to blow. At night we were to dance Salsa .We changed place but it was either so well. Definitely in Nize there are no good places to go out. I complete day: dinner with Farsana and its fiancè in a restaurant of Pakistani food or something similar. It was really good. And they are so smart that they take me to the airport. Problems to arrive but that already is another history that I will count another day that has time. This is a mini summary like a telegram so you have something to entertain yourselves while I go to Miami. I will try to make a real story of the adventures and misfortune and so smart people that I knew. BICOS
