Monaco

Well, today i went on a trip to Monaco.

I went to the Oceanography Museum where I saw tons of fish, whales skeleton, sharks, the first submarine ever, and a bunch of other things..

I also a sperm whale. hell yeah. sperm whales rock.

Anyways, i went on a stroll around Monaco and i must say, woa, what a ****ing goergous city. If you even decide to go to the south of france, or italy, make sure to stop by Monaco, it's hella worth it.

Altough Monaco is under french protection and is basicaly french, Monaco is an independant country.

One of these days, i want to go see the Montel Carlo Grand Prix.

Are they independent like a totally free country with it's own government or like Puerto Rico is to us?

independent country really. they have a prince and stuff. I believe the dead princesses who was married with the prince was an american movie star. i forget her name.

But they do depend on the french. since it's so damn small (
second-smallest independent state in the world)

but they've been independent since 1419.

But on many things, they depend on France.

like for example. They don't have an airport, so they use Nice's airport. They also depend on the French Military for national security, and a whole bunch of things. oh, and the Monaco soccer team is in the french championship.

Hardly an indication, there are Ferraris in Paris or other places too. I even saw a couple ones where I live.

The dead princess was Grace Kelly BTW.

I see some from time to time where i live too. but that's not surprising since i live next to St. Tropez...rich people's hometown.

Monaco is the cleanist city i ever saw in my life. I was like...BIATCH IZ CLEAN!

Did you meet the awesome turtle in the main tank?

I went to Monaco a year or so ago. It's a beautiful city, much more similar to Italian towns than French.

There's two giant turtles i believe, and several sharks in the main tank..

it was kick ass.

and from some places in monaco, you can see the white snow of the alps. it kicks ass

see?

and yeah, it does ressemble a bit like italy, but with a mix with french.

just like in the Alsace Lorraine region, you can feel the german architecture.

I went to Monaco by boat from Menton, which is about 5 miles from the French-Italian border. The French/Italian population must've been only 60/40 in favour of the French.

I'm going to France next summer, too. We'll have to see if we can meet up, but I don't know whereabouts I'm going yet.
