Nice - Day 3

This morning we went to the EDHEC Business School for a presentation. It was really interesting because they talked about the difference between luxury and non luxury products dealing mostly with perfume. The school is ranked 5th on France for business schools and 1st in population. It is a private school so you have to meet certain requirements to get in versus a public university so its more prestigious. After that it was lunch time so Laura, Brittney, and Audrey went and ate our lunches (that we packed from breakfast) on the beach. It's really gloomy today and there sun is not out which stinks for our last day in Nice.

After we ate, we went and walked around at some shops. I didnt get anything the whole time (surprising I know), but they got some things from Galeries. We stopped and got gelato and then it started to rain (yes rain in Nice). Apparently it only rains 65 days a year and of course we are here one of those days. Everything is outside here so its hard to do things when its raining. So we ended up coming back to the hotel and going down to the lobby to cath up on journals and to talk.

In the evening, Amanda, Caitlin, Kinsie, Jay, Taylor and I went to eat at this place called Buffalo Grill. We got a waitress that spoke no english (or so we thought). We used the French that we knew and ordered, but when it came out she had gotten it all wrong. We were really polite about it, but she didnt take it well and was really rude to us. The food was ok, but not as good as we expected. After we paid we were sitting there and she comes up to us in perfect english "excuse me, but I have a party of 6 waiting of you all could leave soon." So either thats all she knows in english or she was playing dumb the whole time. We left of course, even though a little upset, and then walked around. More people came and we tried to go in shops and they wanted to go into bars, but everything was full since it was the opening of the World Cup. We ended up just going back to the hotel and all sat around and talked. Later we all went to this club for salsa dancing, which ended up being everyone just sitting and talking while like 2 locals danced. It was cool to watch the locals because its just such a different culture and atmosphere. I left not long after that because I was tired and wasnt going to dance. I am now just sitting in my hotel room finishing my journal!
