Another 10 weird things I've seen in Montpellier

1. A man playing the didgeridoo in Place du Peyrou by the Chateau D'eau past midnight (the park was closed, and we saw him hop the fence...).
2. The gypsies who pretend to be deaf and not understand when you say "non" yet they immediately respond to you when you say "attend" ("wait") because they think you are going to give them money.
3. Occupy Montpellier. Fo real.
4. An older guy on a bike trying to have an extended conversation with me and hit on me while I was running. With head phones in. N'importe quoi...
5. A grumpy drunk American girl in the comédie SHOUTING franglais "I need to partir like right now." Classy.
6. Homeless men making GIGANTOR bubbles in the comédie.
7. Late night tram sighting: drunken teens belting la marseille (the national anthem of France) on the tram around midnight. In four part harmony.
8. The petit train (that gives guided tours around the city for tourists) squeezing down roads for which it is much too large.
9. French people saying "no merci" to the man handing out free Ben & Jerry's. You don't say no to free Ben & Jerry's. Ever.
10. A dog in Temple Bar. Seriously like the cutest little dog ever, but jazz night is no place for a little terrier.
