hello all
i'm in marseille now, just spending some time at the school computer lab. \i arrived yesterday, and have spent time exploring the city. it is quite unique. it is like paris, only more compact - and it feels like every neighborhood has people living there, unlike some parts of paris where it feels like museums and nothing else. i'm still looking for an apartment, although we have meet another student Vincent (a canadian) who may live with us in a four bedroom flat near the vieux port (old port), which is the downtown area. Hopefully, it all works out. then i just need to open a bank account, and find a cell phone, and i should be set. i think.
anyway, still alive, and enjoying myself.
