It is now Saturday evening and I am home for almost 24 hours now. What a strange feeling it is to be back. I am writing this sitting in my own room. I have to say, I really missed it. It’s all cozy and I love spending some alone time in here. I know what you’re probably thinking: Chantal you just got home after being away for 4 months. Shouldn’t you be with your family downstairs in the living…
Of course it is fun to be in another country for a couple of months, but you can get bored with the city you live in. I think I’ve seen almost everything in Marseille by now, and I love to explore new things. Luckily traveling is not expensive at all, and there are many fun cities to visit that are close to Marseille. So on monday I went to Montpellier. I did not know anything about Montpellier, and honestly I still don’t. But I know now that Montpellier is so beautiful. It is so different from Marseille which is very refreshing. The city looks very bright and rich. All the buildings are in the same color, which is a beige sandy color. It all looks very classic and still modern in some way. Also, the people look happier than in Marseille. Nobody is in a rush. Everybody smiles at you and are so friendly. That is something that I’ve really missed. In Marseille people all look so angry. And it was nice to not see guys in tracksuits all the time. It seemed cares more about how they look, and I like that.
Don’t get me wrong, I do like Marseille. It is just nice to see another side of what the country looks like. I love seeing new things and experiencing different things. It was definitely a good day
Here are some photos I took which I think kind of gives an image of what Montpellier looks like:

Like I said in previous posts, I have been in Marseille for 3 months now. That is the longest I have been from home, without being able to go home any time I want. In the Netherlands I live in Maastricht during the week, in a student house, and in the weekend I go home to my parents’ house. That is completely different than being in another country by myself. I never get homesick really, but now…
Some of you may know that I am studying abroad for 4 months. Unfortunately 2 months have already passed, and I only have 2 more to go. I am studing in France, how cool is that? To be exact, I am in Marseille. Marseille is so beautiful. You have of course the very famous old harbor called the Vieux Port, the Notre-Dame de la Garde, and the Palais Longchamp. But in Marseille there are also all…
