Take subway better be wary of people standing around you. My colleague witnessed a few black guys pick-pocketed from a white guy and passing his wallet around to a guy outside the carriage when the train stopped. All happened very fast. The guy only realized when the train started to move off. From that moment, we auto put our wallets in the front jean pockets.

Done with Marseille now at the Saint Charles train station waiting for train to Paris. I will post past 2-3 days photos in the train later had been busy. This is where I separate from my travelling companion, she's going to Spain and then Switzerland while I will get back to Bangkok to work.

 

Basic breakfast at the station

Ok it seems funny we had Chinese food in Paris but by the 3rd day we were already craving for spicy food so went to google and found this Sichuan restaurant that opens only for dinner and no reservations.

 

Went there saw this queue so must be good

I have to admit we really enjoyed this meal tremendously because it is very original and tasty. Portion was very big actually ordered too much.
