Travelin Monkey

This one deserves its own entry..

We met up with raffi & kursh (other friends from los angeles) in Nice. They got there the same day we had and that was their first day on this vacation. We spent the day on the beach, which is gorgeous, and at night watching Englands sorry ass finally leave the tournament (go ronaldo). At night, we went to downtown Nice’ to catch the Fra vs Bra game, all ready to cheer for Brasil. I almost got killed yelling for Ronaldo & Ronaldhino hehe but i would have just told them i was German hahah
Anyhow, NO ONE expected France to win, so we knew the celebration would be NUTS. After searching and searching, we found the chaos in front of the beach. I started jumping into random people’s cars partying with them and going for rides on their hoods. It was very similar to what we saw in Milan, except that this was more chaos. Eventually, we ended up jumping on the hoods of every car that passed by, everyone having a great time (it’s all on tape baby). We had a bottle of Jackie with us and raff & i were getting TRASHED. The funny thing was, the contents of the whiskey bottle were warmer than the actual glass.

Fast forwarding a couple of hours, some drunken ass decided to plow through the crowd with his car and almost hit people going forward & reverse. A guy tried to throw a bottle at the car and ended up hitting the floor in front of me, raff, and kok. Raff was wearing shorts and got shrapnel to the legs, causing a 3 cm x 2 cm gash. Kok and I began our emergency training protocols drunk as all hell. That’s when the ass driver came back around, hit some guy dislocating his shoulder right in front of us, then hitting some other guy on a motorcycle causing him to fly off. This is when the riot police began to come..

We both stabilized Raffi; then I went to help the guy with the dislocated shoulder while kok stabilized the guy from the bike. Once we had all 3 of them under control, i called an ambulance to the scene. 2 riot cops showed up and started to beat the shit out of a rioter on a motorcycle. We needed help, so I decided to go get them… and BAM.. sprayed in the face with mace. I started telling them in broken French that we needed an ambulance and took them to the guys, sneezing and tearing at that point. Once the ambulance came, kok & i took a ride with raff and the other 2 guys to the ER, where they stitched up raff and took care of the other 2. We ended up coming home all bloodied up at 4 am..

What a night…

The next day we headed to Monte Carlo which is AMAZING!!! The drive is definately worth it, and they even had a soccer field over a cliff overlooking the ocean!! There isn’t much to do there, except enjoy it for the day. We also checked out Cannes….. but it is expensive to go on to the really small sandy beached (most of them have huge rocks)

Sandro took off to Moscow and raff & kursh are in Milan right now. Kok and I drove all morning and are in Lyon. Tomorrow we head out to Paris to watch the Fra vs Por game in Paris!!
