I don’t write enough in the “Life in Bordeaux” section of this blog. So, here I am, trying to write something.

What can I tell you about Bordeaux ?

I * love Bordeaux. I love its student life, I love how practical it is for me to see my friends, I really like my campus especially that building with all those free-access computers with double screens and everything already setup on them.

I don’t really like the weather though, it’s raining quite often, I’d say at least once a week, but when it shines, it shines.

The public transport is the worse part of the city. There is no subway and trams are always PACKED. And when I say packed I mean “you will miss 5 trams in a row because you can’t get in” packed. And I have to commute, every day… but I’ll survive, it’s not Paris and its awful subway :) far from that.

The streets are dirty, my apartment is crappy, really, but it’s okay, I’m moving in June, hopefully to a better place. Still have to find a new place though, and looking for a place in Bordeaux is HARSH. I shiver just thinking about it.

Girls are pretty :o) and there are many girls. Bad thing is that my part of the campus is full of guys (and sometimes its hard to tell).

I don’t know what else I could say. I like it better than Lyon, way better than Hamilton in Ontario, way way better than Paris. It lacks the feeling of “full of opportunities” that Beijing has though. But the air is breathable at least =) so yeah. Later in my life, I will consider settling in Bordeaux. Why not?
