Here I am, in France, where the trees already turned into bloom and the cigarette vending machines turned into condom vending machines. It's spring, and you can not only see, but also smell and feel it. And not only the beautiful flowers and blossoms shining in yellow, white, pink, and purple that make my heart smile, also the people here are colourful. Strasbourg is a cosmopolitan city. Walking through the Esplanade you can see, hear and read it.


It's spring in Strasbourg!


Having reached the Parc de l'Orangerie, the vernal feeling continues when looking at all the people sitting around in the already greenish grass, having picnics, making sports. Trees in full blow remind me of Japan, where we were headed to exactly a year ago... Yeah, I guess it's spring!!

And even sightseeing is nice when it's spring....


Springish European Parliament


I was hungry, and I found that.....

On my way back home, I went to a supermarket and was reminded of how amazingly cheap cheese was in France. I guess I'm gonna feed on bread, wine and cheese for the lenght of my stay here, and discover a new kind of the latter every day :)
