People

I encountered many nice people in this trip.
Before I forgot, I wrote about them and shared with you these wonderful people that I have met in my voyage.

In Paris - a lady with a black dog, not a cat. She introduced me to her dog and talked about the working environment in Paris. She was so funny as she was not very good with directions. I had to tell her turning the right direction back to my hotel.

In Aix en provence - a charming guy (i know that you may be reading this,hahaha)who taught me the diff. between Boulangerie and whatever looks similar in spelling. To respect tradition and culture, Paris govt hands out certificate only to real Boulangerie. And I also learnt form him that people in Provence are by law paint the wall in ocre (yellow to orange colour). For the sake of beauty, People who live in Provence are willing to give up certain freedom. Hooray for that!

In Avignon - the hotel I stayed in was run by a family. The wife discussed with me about Cezanne. She is a fans of Cezanne. Really enjoyed the discussion.

May be very soon that I will not remember their faces but they are once very important in my life - a single traveller who only speaks little French.
