My first post - Greetings from Paris!

Hello everyone!
Benjamin, 22, Engineering student living in Paris reporting!
I just registered to Steemit and thought it could be agreat idea to make a quick rundown on who I am.
As you can expect, I'm quite a scientist hence I will try to make this post as structured and harmonious as possible.

So as I said, Benjamin, 22, raised in the south east of France.

I think it's called French Riviera in English, but I'd rather call it "Côte d'Azur", which roughly translates to Azure coast. This is the view I grew up with :)

After graduating from high school, I decided to sail away from home (well not too much, I was only 16) so I went to Lyon to study general engineering science.
I was a bit disappointed as you can see on the picture below.

What I expected / What I got

So after three years of studying, I chose to go study abroad in Finland, Tampere. This was really not the same country nor anything but clearly was one of my best experience during my student life. I might make a post about Tampere / Studying in Finland if I find the time later.
To give you a little preview :

Right now I'm in my last year of Engineering studies and should get my diploma in two months! Oh and I'm now living in Paris, Belleville neighbourhood, which is what we call Bohème in France (Street arts, Jazz cafés, friendly people,...) And I love it there! The picture below is not from me but as we can see my flat I still show it to you! :)

Working in Materials Science, I did a lot of fun things but did not think at the time to take pictures to share it. Anyway the most (scientifically speaking) interesting thing I've done during my studies is shown on this pic, can you guess what this is?

If any one of you found it, congratulations! This purple "cloud" is a gold plasma. Like pure gold heated and electrified, so violently that it's not even a gas, it became a plasma ( well not for a long time since this machine goal is to apply a thin gold plating on ceramics/plastics).
So this is what I work with every day and I have the chance to be able to say that my work is one of my passion, which is the study of Materials!

I also like history and visiting old monuments, theoretical politics (but meh this is boring on blogs/websites, I only like it around a beer / wine), travelling (maybe a next post coming, if I have the time :) ) and a lot of other things I will tell you in other posts ;)

Thank you for reading until the end and see you around!
