和巴黎庞大拥挤的里昂火车站相比,尼斯的火车站像是轻巧的玩具房子。火车停靠一下就走,站里也只售当天车票。同样轻快的还有人们的衣着,背心短裤拖鞋,笔挺的西裤衬衫几乎绝迹。青年旅社的厨房里,一群波士顿男孩儿围着一个悉尼姑娘聊天,才十点,桌子上已经摆了几个空酒瓶。我一到,手里就给塞个大mug,哗啦啦倒满一杯。过了十二点,有女孩儿打电话来,我模模糊糊听到喷泉、广场几个词。突然间人人开始梳洗打扮。
第二天起早,坐20分钟火车去摩纳哥。下了车看地图,觉得皇宫不远,决定步行前往。不料一路都是上坡,拐了几个弯再抬头,皇宫竟在高高的一坐山上。一晒得通红的老太太跟我打招呼――你从香港来?我说不是。她说我常住澳门,一个人出来旅游。说完又用法语帮我问路,语调里带着奇怪的急迫感,不知怎么地让我想起杜拉丝来。 坐车到了山顶,看到皇宫微微有些失望。关起门来在一隅之地豪华奢侈――比如蒙特卡洛赌场,夹在一圈快餐店中间,有让人气闷的感觉。坐观光小火车绕城一圈,便匆匆离开了。
回到尼斯已是下午。换下汗湿的T恤,沿JM大道向海边走去。JM大道尽头,左手是尼斯旧城,走一段台阶,突然进入了一个迷宫。四五层高的居民楼漆成明亮的黄色橙色,面对面地把游人挤在小巷中间。抬头看,各式的木制旧窗,晾在窗外的彩色布料,还有头顶的一线蓝天。抬头的时候就有向上飞升的企望,好像宫崎俊动画片里的场景。旧城东边是个山包,山顶是块墓地,一个了望台看得见7公里半月形海滩的全景。尼斯的海滩全是卵石的,不带竹席不好休息――但这并不妨害人们赤身裸体地晒太阳。太阳下山后人们去老城的巷道里吃露天大排挡,到处都打“salade niçoise”的招牌,车水马龙,一直到凌晨一点才慢慢平息。
Violent delights.

This is from Gibli fan site: http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/kiki/faq.html#koriko
"Q: Where is Kiki's town, Koriko?
According to Miyazaki, it's "a mishmash of various locales, like Napoli, Lisbon, Stockholm, Paris, and even San Francisco. Therefore, one side is like the shores of the Mediterranean sea, but another side seems to border on the Baltic sea." Miyazaki and his main staff visited Visby on the Swedish island of Gotland, and they also visited Stockholm. They shot 80 rolls of film in Stockholm and Visby, gathering location images as inspiration for the scenes in Koriko. For the most part, Koriko is composed of images of Stockholm. A side street in Stockholm's old city, Gamla Stan, is one model.
Sweden was the first foreign country Miyazaki ever visited. It was for the "Pippi Longstockings" project, back in the 1970s. The trip didn't achieve its purpose (getting permission from the author of "Pippi"), but Visby apparently left a strong impression on him, so he later used its images in "Kiki". "
