Nice, France

nice.

today, after i finally met mum outside the train station with a long hug that made up for an absence of five months.

 
 
 
after settling down in our hotel, we ventured around avenue theirs and vieux nice, soaking in the sights and sounds of a city whose modern fast track pace surprised me. we had tea at galleria lafettye, which was by far the most indulgent experience i have had in a really long time.. thus beginning to feel the perks of travelling with m-u-m.

funny enough, we had dinner at an asian takeaway fast food outlet. basically we were more intrigued by the concept, rather than its dishes. there, you could basically choose from trays and trays of gleaming chinese stir fries and they would warm it up for you. they had stuff like lemongrass chicken, beef stir fry with ginger, sweet and sour fish.. and other popular entrees that you would find on a typical chinese menu.

we were indeed utterly fascinated by the pick-and-go concept.. yes yes, how very deprived of microwave food. i had the wanton noodles and minced crab cake while mum had a vermicelli. my first wanton noodle soup in five plus months and probably the worst tasting noodle soup that i have ever had- and i type this in absolute amusement.. haha.. the crab cake was tasty though.

sussed out by the french riveria heat, we retreated to our AIR CONDIIONED hotel room after dinner. halleluiah! all hail the air conditioner. though our hotel room was modest by cote d'azur standards, it was by far the most comfortable place slash bed I had stayed in a while.

peace out folks.
