Jun's Poems, Video and Digital Photography Hub

The videos, photos and memoirs for family, friends and acquaintances are uploaded here. Some videos and photos are posted without captions, and some are posted with descriptions and explanations of the events, and other important details of the occasions to remember, to value profoundly the memories from time to time with the family members like parents, brothers, sisters and relatives, and to "hold on for dear life" every now and then...the people who are not related to you, but they are close to you. Students' photos are also welcome here!

Part 4 of the photos taken everywhere in Tours, France.

Part 4 of the photos taken everywhere in Tours, France. This is the part 4 of the photos taken everywhere in Tours, France. I included the photos of the apartment where I am living, studying and eating French foods at present (within the period of my stay here) as given to me by my host family. By all accounts, Tours is a very safe city in comparison to other French cities. But if you don't speak French, you might get intimidated by homeless people asking you something in French, most likely asking for a spare change or a cigarette if they see you smoking. The quartiers to the south east of the city are best avoided at night, and there are many high-rise low-rent apartment buildings, but any area in Tours is safe during the daytime. If you want to plan to visit Tours, for a one month study or more, you can learn it even in a short period of time. If you really focus on learning the French language, of course, you can start speaking the language with ease. Learning it for the first time is so hard, but later on you have the passion to keep on absorbing what the words are about to be fed in mind or in store for you for a longer period of time until you speak the language fluently. Learning the language should be equally taken from the “outside communication to inside communication” (inside communication refers to school and outside communication refers to people in general). Try to visit, learn and see the difference. I am not promoting the place where I live (Tours), but this is how I experience at present while I am here in this beautiful and magnificent city in France.
