Safety

I believe Calgary is a safe city because I think there are not too many problems with crimes. It is a nice city and it is safer than most metropolises in France. Over there, there are more thefts and murders then in Canada. In my town, there are many pocket-picking, especially on tourists who do not worry enough. When you enter the city of Nice, you can read signs that advise you to lock your car doors. It is not safe to walk alone in some neighborhoods during night time.I think that there are more fights and robberies then there are in Calgary. I do not take special precautions because I know my city very well. In general, I think that Canada is safer than France.

Nice Carnival

Once a year, in February there is a carnival that takes place in Nice for two weeks. During that time, the city’s population triples.

The authorities have to block the Promenade des Anglais everyday of the carnival. There is music everywhere and a big parade on the seafront. You can see big trailers with flowers, but the star of the carnival is the king. At the end of the Carnival he is burned in the sea with very big fireworks.

Every year, the carnival has a different theme. For fifteen days the whole city is decorate and there are all kinds of activities planned a bit everywhere. Everyone can have some fun. Almost everything is free; you only have to pay if you want to see the parade from the platform.

It is a carnival only for the city of Nice. We eat no special food and we do not wear the traditional Niçois clothing, only the small children usually wear masks. It is really fun!

10 millions dollars baby!

If i win 10 million dollars, I would buy one big villa and one house in every city I like. I would love to live in cities like Florence in Italy, Paris in France and Toronto in Canada.

I would also get some luxury cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche.  

I would buy a yacht for me and my friends to travel around a world.

I would visit a lot of countries and I would help people who live in the ghetto. I could build restaurants for them. I would also like to create an orphanage. Of course, I would help my family and my friends financially.

I would stock the rest in a bank for the future.
I don’t think I will win 10 millions in a lottery because I don’t play!

Welcome to the French Riviera

 The best place to live in France is Nice (or Nissa). It’s a wonderful city. You can swim in the sea all year. If you like skiing in the winter, the mountains are two hours away. Nice has only been part of France for 150 years, before it's a city of Italy. It’s a very touristic city, that’s why it’s best to visit in autumn or spring, when there are less visitors. There are many places to visit like different museums, the old city and the castle. If you like going out at night, you will find many pubs, restaurants and clubs. Other popular cities like Cannes and Monaco are not far from Nice. The weather is nicer then Canada. It usually only snows once every two years. It’s a great place, amazing place…. Not only the best city in France but in the world!!!
