Life in Montpellier

So I finally made up my mind....
and I'm publishing the second post! sorry guys....u know me, I know how to be lazy when I really want to!

So I thought about writing something about the city where I live in : Montpellier!
The reason?

....well , because I've realised I don't know much about HER!
I've been living here for almost 3 years, and the only thing I know in this city is the way from my place to the university whether by tramway or walking (which by the way is 10 minutes!)

A friend of mine...dear Pandolfo, Enrico Pandolfo (known as il Pandolfino), was here for a master degree for 6 months and got to know Montpellier better than me (which is not a big deal), and now I could even call him in Milan and ask him to give me directions to any of the clubs around Montpellier, and he would answer to that with no problem! feeling so ashemed............

But anyway, Montpellier is quite a nice city in the south of France, not too far from the borders with Spain, quite old too , near the beach...pretty warm and sunny throughout the year.
It has a big university, many students, a lot of life....

The thing that makes me proud of Montpellier is its medical faculty!! The 3rd oldest medical school in Europe after Cordoba and Bologna, it's actually the oldest active medical faculty...it was never stopped since the XII century!! (for those who were at the winter Bahai school in Italy
u even have the confirm of it from Mr.Douglas Martin!)

but the best thing is that my mom's family lives here!
I've always loved the idea of living in the same city as my extended family and especially having all the "little" cousins around, to play with, kiss them till they are so fed up that they don't want to see u for at least one week hehehe...

Anyhow, best time to come is summer....hot, sunny, beach,river and waterfalls, barbecues (teaching part-time)

I guess I fed u guys up with material desires, so next time it will be more spiritual, truly loving...
