We
all know that Marseille is the second most populated city of France and the
biggest Mediterranean port and the economic center of France. But I have to say
that after Jane and me arrived here, we are shocked by this city's dirty and
messy, also the poorly public safety problem.
We walked around little beside our
hotel; at least we have seen 10 or more homeless people or beggars on the streets in only half hour! A lot of
street ruffian trying to strike up a conversation with us, which is very scary!
At night, we met up with three other
girls who came to travel here from our MSU study abroad group. They told us DO
NOT STAY IN MARSEILLE, go to Cassis (a small town close to Marseille) and only
come back here to sleep in the hotel. They get scared because the day before we
arrive here, there was a random guy who came to the girls, touched their arms
and said some stupid things.
We also get to know that the gang hit
squad is in Marseille. Gang underworld
in Marseille had been involved in the manufacturing and trafficking of illegal
heroin abroad for so many years in the history. This explained why Marseille
had a very dark and gloomy atmosphere filled the streets. I have never see
these much of homeless people in Europe before.
From my personal opinion, this city is
not dangerous for girls who want to travel in France!!
