Close the door on your way out
I don't think I ever really wrote about Nice on my blog. Then again, post-Facebook, I don't think I really concentrated much on writing about anything online. After five years, Nice is full of memories. The trouble is that now a lot of once-happy memories just provoke melancholy and nostalgia. It's a good time to leave. It's a bad time to write about it.

It was nice to have some guys to go out with and see the city with, and after a few days it grew on me a little bit.
In the US we tend to think of the beach as a relaxing place ...
