I arrive in the middle of the night at Nice airport in France. I am here to accompany Because I am a Girl campaign ambassador, celebrated author and journalist Mariane Pearl to the Lion’s awards in Cannes.
Mariane arrived earlier so I trudge with my bag looking for a way to reach Cannes. I am so excited – the first time in this well known and beautiful part of Côte d’Azur (literally = the blue coast).
Soon this excitement gives way to exasperation – the only way to reach Cannes is by exorbitantly priced taxis and monsieurs are in no mood to haggle with me. All my Indian skills to negotiate a price downwards are of no avail.
Ah well – welcome to Cannes.
Læs mere her!
