A short trip to Toulouse...
Yesterday I went to a city in the south west of France called Toulouse. The reason for the visit being a medical examination, a mandatory requirement for a person to have a resident permit in France. Just imagine a 3 and a half hour journey a side for a 10 mins medical examination. Well but I guess its worth the pain if the reward is a permit to travel anywhere in Europe, including non-schengen nations ;-)
For art loving people Toulouse is a paradise. Well unfortunately I myself don't fall in that category but still the architecture of the city was too neat for words. Toulouse is known for its red brick constructions and the whole market justifies that statement. Spent around 4 hours just walking around the city the only reason I came back to the station was that I was too tired to walk anymore. Hats off to the French train system, the only drawback in the system being that they don't have too many trains running directly east to west, so if I have to travel towards the south east of France I'll have to go to Paris in the north and then take a train to where ever I wanna go. one loophole for the system to work on.
My christmas vacations are all set, will be going to Italy for 7 days. Will spend the christmas eve in Rome. Hopefully the rains will not play spoil sport because according to a fren of mine this is that time of the year when only nice things are supposed to happen. I'll keep my fingers crossed for that.
I got the possesion of my studio apartment today and I'm damm excited about shifting in that place tomorrow. Well thats the update of my life so far, looking forward to christmas vacations.....
