The Aix Connection: December 2011
http://arimargolin2travel.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Interlude: Better pic of the Eiffel Tower. Monday, December 5, 2011. The Fucking French Bureaucracy and Incompetence. My revenge for the day. I warn you, this blog will neither be flattering nor positive when it comes to the fucking French. This motherfucker takes the cake. To register for Social Security, i.e., my carte vitale. Because I'm a student. The CPAM was in the third arrondissement of Marseille, a few blocks from where I live; the MEP was CLEAR ACROSS TOWN! Pissed off, I told her that I had alr...

The Aix Connection: Vienna, Austria
http://arimargolin2travel.blogspot.com/2012/01/vienna-austria.html
Interlude: Better pic of the Eiffel Tower. Friday, January 6, 2012. I arrived in Vienna yesterday morning. After the technical difficulties in Amsterdam, the rest of the journey was uneventful. Due to my cold, I slept most of yesterday, so I didn't do too much. However, I did get out last night and this morning. I promise that pics will be available by tomorrow. Vienna is SO AWESOME! More later, including pics and tomorrow's soirée: Vienna Opera House and Tchaikovsky's 'Sleeping Beauty.'.

The Aix Connection: November 2011
http://arimargolin2travel.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Interlude: Better pic of the Eiffel Tower. Monday, November 21, 2011. Possible Trip to London, UK - June 2012. I have begun the plotting. The last two times that I have been abroad, I have missed two opportunities to see Minister Bruce (Springsteen) in concert (Morocco - he was in Texas; France - he performed in Paris in mid-July 2008). No fucking way this time! Apparently, The Boss will perform in the UK during May-June 2012, with upcoming dates in the US and Europe. So it's either London or Manchester.

The Aix Connection: September 2011
http://arimargolin2travel.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Interlude: Better pic of the Eiffel Tower. Friday, September 30, 2011. On the letter, it lists my name on the passport: "Arianne Nicole Margolin," along with my date of birth, etc. Then under "adresse en France," it has my address in Marseille, but with one curious little change. I have heard of such things occurring as a part of intégration, though it did not happen while I was in Toulouse. However, it has happened now. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Marseille Pics Part 1 (La Plage). A: When the cooks are...

The Aix Connection: Marseille Sports Interlude
http://arimargolin2travel.blogspot.com/2012/01/marseille-sports-interlude.html
Interlude: Better pic of the Eiffel Tower. Monday, January 30, 2012. My apologies for the break - spring semester just got started here in Aix-Marseille. Pics will definitely follow, as well as an upcoming week trip to Paris, France early in February. (My camera ran out of battery power in Vienna, so I took most of the Austria pics on my cell phone. Unfortunately, it takes $ $ to upload them! The Ecole doctorale finally. Aix and Marseille (and the South in general) are obsessed with sports. I am a Ph....

Interlude: Better pic of the Eiffel Tower. Monday, May 30, 2011. The Aix Connection - New Travel Blog. Long time no write.

Interlude: Better pic of the Eiffel Tower. Thursday, December 1, 2011. Trip to Montpellier, France: June 19, 2012. I'm going to Montpellier for a day or two on June 19, 2012. I HAVE TIX TO SEE THE BOSS! Springsteen and the E Street Band will play in Montpellier, which means I can spend the extra money to buy good seats (which I did) and only take a two-hour train ride to see him in concert.

The Aix Connection: Marseille to Amsterdam
http://arimargolin2travel.blogspot.com/2012/01/marseille-to-amsterdam.html
Interlude: Better pic of the Eiffel Tower. Wednesday, January 4, 2012. I am on the way to Vienna via Amsterdam. Nope, I am not in Vienna yet. Why? Because Schiphol couldn't decide which planes should take off or land. My plane from Marseille was delayed roughly 45 minutes and since I had only one hour to make my connection, I was rebooked the following morning. So here I am, at 5:40 am local time (9:40 pm MST), waiting for the early flight to Vienna. At least I made that! More from Vienna later! I am a P...
