Montpellier: people city

dear matt,

so cool that you subscribed to my RSS. i didn't even know you can do that. need to catch up on technology when i get back. i try to write abit every night before i go to bed and post them whenever i get access to the internet. so i dont like spent hours on the net everyday. some of these deserted towns here in france dont even have dial up. haha

Day 16 - uncool vibe
i was talking to the guy at the reception. he was super friendly. so i started asking him for some advise and where to go next and got him to book me a night at montpellier. as we went on chatting, i attracted more people into the conversation, suddenly there were a few more french people giving me advise. and then i thought it would be better to go somewhere else instead and so forth. so i got the receptionist to change a few bookings and made a couple of new ones and in the end, somehow i was convienced, montpellier is the place to go. so i got the receptionist to rebook again. for some strange reason he stopped being so friendly. french. they are just weird people. dont understand them.

anyway.

got to montpellier and damn. the place is crowded. i have never seen so many people in europe until today. i walked through the mall and people everywhere. packed. it was like walking in wong kok in hong kong where all you see is heads. plus the fucking rugby world cup is on. come on who the fuck watches that. them losers.


(people everywhere ...)

anyway.

turned a corner away from the mall strip, deserted. almost no one in sight. go figure. its amazing how people are just concerntrated in the strip of the mall. the entire population in montpellier lives in the mall.


(people magically disappeared !)

anyway.

even though the architecture and the historical feel to the building is nice, but somehow the city feels very cold and uninviting. also it rained on me again. fucking hell. 16 days in europe and it rained like 9 days.

i just need to escape from this city. anyway. seen the city, decided to avoid south of france .. nice, cannes etc. since is getting cold not worth going to the beach. instead, lets head to the alps. booked the next destination ... grenoble. leaving at sunrise.
