Bonjour Paree!


So this is not really my first day here but I shall pretend that it is anyways. My plane left at 5pm Thursday night and arrived at 6am in Paris. The flight wasn't too bad despite the 150 students on it. I sat beside a lovely boy named Edward, from Richmond Hill. Unfortunately neither of us slept. Looking at my pictures of Paris from that day it seems like I didn't take them. I made friends with Souroosh and Grant, also from Richmond Hill and we spent most of the day together. First we took a boat tour of the Seine which was fantastic albeit freezing. After they gave us half an hour to do the eiffel tower then we drove around, I slept alot in the bus. We went to a buffet-ish restaurant for lunch called "flunch" ahaha! Around 5 we finally got to meet our families. Ouiam and her mother came to pick me up and we slept most of the way home. The 3 of us went to "Epson" for dinner, it is on the beach and has amazing bruschetta and tapas. They both highly reccomended the punch and it was soo strong, I was rather embarrassed by the small buzz I got off it. The next morning we went to the market in Dieppe. It was amazing, everything is local and fresh and the vendors were all really friendly. Its nearly impossible for us to go anywhere in Dieppe without seeing someone we know. I'm getting used to the whole kissing on the cheek thing. It was kind of strange at first but I like it, people seem really happy to meet you. We had some coffee at the oldest cafe in Dieppe when we finished shopping. Then we went for a drive along the beach and up to the school which is huuge. Luckily we have 2 weeks vacation now so I don't have to worry about that as much. We came home for lunch then went shopping again to get ready for the party that Ouiam was having that night. More on that party later. Pictures later too as I am tired as fuck. Bonne Nuit!
