Paris

hey everyone,

i had a great time in paris these last couple days. the plane ride was very long and tiring. didnt sleep much at all on the plane. When we got to paris we quickly got on a bus and headed off on our tour. first stop was montmartre to a big church that was pretty cool. Next we had lunch at flunch. worst chicken qnd fries ive ever had i think. id way rather go for some french food. people here drive like idiots they weave in and out of cars and stuff,its like nothing ive ever seen. After lunch was the visit of notre dame cathedral. Its unreal! absolutely enormous! Next stop was the louvre. lets just say, not my thing. Yeah yeah it was okay just not something that interests me. Everyone was tired after that so we went to the hotel.


The next morning we had croissants for breaky and headed out to see more of paris. Started at the arc du triumph. It was super cool. didnt look that big in the books. While we were there we strolled down the champs elysees and looked at all the stores. I bought a new pretty cool sweater. Went into the louis vuitton stor and holly crap was it expensive. 490 euros for almost the same sweater that i just bought for 20. I felt out of place just being in there. next was luch where - yep you guessed it, we ate at flunch.same crappy food. Nothing new there. After lunch was a boat trip on the Seine river. not to exciting because they showed us everything we had already seen before and because it was snowing and cold. Went to the eiffel tower after that and it was sweet. Again it was much bigger than i thought.After that we just went back to the hotel and had dinner which i didnt eat much of because it was all gross fish.

The buildings in Paris are all very old. No houses like in Canada, everyone lives in appartments which i found really weird. The cars are really funny looking and the police sirens are super cool! People are very nice and polite so far, everyone says they are rude but i havent noticed that yet. The hotel we stayed in sucked and was very small, i had to sleep on a cot with my jacket as my pillow. Oh and one more thing, euro keyboards suck. the letters are all in different spots and its taken me like an hour to write this far


Today i caught a train to Dijon. They go super fast and are pretty neat. Nathan and his mom picked me up there and i came to their house. it is very old and cramped in to a small space. They had lunch ready when i got here and it was super duper good. there is like 4 parts and i was so full after! The language barrier is hard. Nathan translated everything today. For some reason apparently we have to wear slippers in the house so they gave me some and said to wear them. Took a tur of surrounding villages tonight and they are pretty neat. For some reason i dont go to school till thursday but i didnt understand why nathan goes and i dont. There is 3 other Canadians in my school so im kinda excited. My dam ipod dock just got wrecked because there is higher electricity here and it burnt the inside of my wires so im pissed. That was kinda random but im done now.


Love you all.
