These past couple of weeks have been absolutely amazing!! First off I went to Paris with Rotary. It was a fantastic trip and the group was awesome. I shared a room with Jess not to mention Katrina and Gabby were just next door. I met so many new people too! Exchange students really are the most fun. I love my Belgians too though! xoxox During the trip we saw many beautiful art museums like la mussée d'orsay and le louvre as well as typic Parisien sites like the Eifel Tower and Montmartre. The first night we also went on a boat tour and saw Paris by night. It was just simply fantastic. From laughs to smiles and smiles to laughs I had a great time. Paris is just as good the second time around.
London was a couple days afterwards, and was equally good. It was kind of interesting seeing how similar things there are to Newfoundland. I ate at a very nice Irish pub and it reminded me so much of Downtown. I also ate their famous fish and chips, but I can say they are better in good old Newfoundland! This was a trip also organized by Rotary, but old exchange students who are from Belgium. This was great because the volunteers were all relatively young and we got to chat and get to know them. I shared a room with 3 noisy girls, but I love them all! Nicola, Katrina, Emma and I had a great time in out little room. We watched American Pie for the hearing impaired, some strange movie about korean fish monsters and each enjoyed the bath there. The second day we went to the Musem with the clay people (forget what it's called), ate at Hard Rock where a man made fun of my accent and finally arrived to see our long awaited musical. By some freak chance it turned out to be a Michael Jackson tribute!!!! It was soooooo good!!!!!!! I was grooving like crazy. London was a lot of fun, and I will be returning there in April with my class. Right before Spain!!! This is just... the best year of my life!
This month is a month of birthdays. Next week the are Diego and Mariana's birthdays and then the week after there are Jess, Nicola and my birthdays. It's crazy!! I have Diego's birthday this Sunday, Mariana's next friday, mine is next Saturday and we are going out with Nicola on the 29th. There is also la Soirée Rhétos for my school the 23rd and St. Nicolas the 28th. I am soooo busy! But I am having so much fun everyday, and I am meeting new friends everyday as well. I am looking forward to all the is to come, but at the same time I am feeling sad seeing how fast these two months have flown by.
