Oh hay, look! That last post posted...not the version I wanted, but I'll deal and you would never know the difference had I not mentioned it. Nice job internet!
Anyway, I have a present for you:
I sat on le Cours Mirabeau the other day and watched traffic. There are these fun features in the middle of the road that keep some order to what's going on with the vehicles driving on the sidewalks and whatnot. It is most amusing when tourists encounter them.
Here we see a confused tourist that eventually figures out what to do and then stalls his car.
I wish the inside of the car could have been seen in the video because the driver's expressions were priceless.
I sat on that street again today and got approached by some guy that was looking for money for something involving children, candy, and bicycles. He didn't like my response of "I have no money" and took his flyer back. Well, I didn't like that he touched my arm and my back, so we're even.
The delicious food of the day was the strawberry tart I had with lunch.
Yesterday, I had a raspberry lollipop, which I described as divine.
The other exciting feature of today was that 1.5L bottles of water that cost 0.70€ were discovered. I don't exactly enjoy carrying around the gigantic bottle, but that's the best deal I can find. Since the tap water is safe to drink, it looks like the giant bottle will be reused.
I came back to the apartment to find that my hostess had washed my clothes for me. I win.

Nice video.
I am easily amused, clearly.
I'd like to be there when that thing comes back up and lifts the wheels off the ground. That thing is scary.
It is weight-sensitive. If someone drives over it while it's coming up, it goes back down. I was sitting there long enough to see every possible situation involving that thing.
