Bar fight!

Quick update blog post, while I am watching the Japan-USA game (still 0:0 at time of writing).
So, I am in Nice (nice!) and witnessed the first proper bar fight in my life yesterday night. Started out as a lot of shouting, then the first fists flew, and as that wasn't enough, they picked up the wicker chairs and started banging the chairs over each others' heads. Incredible! Of course this isn't Hollywood, so the chairs didn't break and people got really injured. There was a guy in the cafe who was bleeding heavily onto the tile floor after the fight.

Other than that, Nice is quite pretty! I will post pictures once I'm heading for Rome.

  4. No idea. I'm sure something exceedingly important, like whose croissant is better! I certainly didn't want to get close enough in order to hear what it was about. :)

  5. Despite their reputation for cowardice, the French are some of the most confrontational people around. Saw a great ruckus on the TGV once.
