Plus ca change....

.... plus c'est la meme chose. I did learn a couple of key phrases from my education in Nice. Along with 'un verre du vin rouge, s'il vous plait', I learned this one, which is loosely translated as 'The more things change the more they remain the same'.  Short skirts - long skirts - short skirts - a never-ending pattern.

There are a number of changes in Nice - they ripped up one large avenue to put in a street car,  there are VeloBleu bicycles for rent at a minimal price all over the city, and the place Michael lived is now a hotel. However, there are still lots of boulangeries to tempt the tastebuds, the water is still a beautiful blue color,  and the place I lived still looks like a dive.

Below are a few examples of things that never change.

 
People will continue to suffer for fashion






People will always want to leave their mark - even if it hurts the trees

Politicians are here to stay

We will always go to La Pizza!
