southern france

a weekend in marseille with olivia and theresa...yes, we are playing a game of "how many racist comments will the Asian trio get in France?" you don't want to know what our scores are right now. we scored points within minutes of arriving in Marseille.

Marseille is charming in its own quaint, ghetto way. when we asked one of the locals for directions, he immediately, URGENTLY, told us the same thing five times, kind of like this:

attention a vos sacs
attention a vos sacs
attention a vos sacs
attention a vos sacs
attention a vos sacs...

okay then.

yesterday we had a lovely evening drinking french wine and eating french pastries while watching the soccer game between Marseille and Paris. Unlike last weekend, there were no riots. I have to admit I'm a little bit disappointed. there's always tonight though...
