Toulon 1

After leaving this blog unattended for so many months, here I am blogging
again. Sigh, the second year at l'ENSIACET went so fast.I'm already doing
my internship at Pôle Cosmétique in La Seyne-sur-Mer and I'll be having
another 5 months of studies before the last internship (PFE).

Situated at the south of France, Toulon is a large military harbor on the
Mediterranean coast. The city itself is not that big but with its
agglomeration like La Seyne-sur-Mer, it is well populated. Most of the
French people would love to work in the southern part of the country due to
the better weather, especially during summer. This is my first ever summer
spent in France and I start to love it. The day is longer, I manage to do
lots of things before the sky gets dark. Although the weather is hot and I
might (or already) get suntanned, I am enjoying the summer spree here.

I'm currently staying 10 mins away from the harbor of Toulon, not far from
the Carrefour and bus station. In the morning, I'll be fetched by my mentor
somewhere near the apartment and I'll come back by bus in the evening. It's
so kind of him because it takes almost one hour to go there by bus =.=
Anyway, I think I've made a good choice of coming here. Pôle Cosmétique is
a company that has been established since 2 years ago. There are only five
of us included the interns. We know each other well and the working
environment is great. My work focuses on the laws and regulation of the
cosmetics and I'm learning on how to do a cosmetic file. During this one
short week, I've picked up knowledge about cosmetics. It actually takes a
long time before a product can be sold in the market. Lots of tests and
paper works need to be done first. Another good point is that my mentor is
happy with my completed task. He praised me for that. So glad ;)

As Toulon is quite a touristic place, I try to walk around and go sight-
seeing. Here are some photos. I should go to the beach soon.
p/s: Toulon makes me think of Grenoble because of the mountains =)
