Day 60-62 - Parc Astérix, Carrefour and Shopping

On Monday Marie, Pauline, Daniéle and I went to Parc Astérix. Now, I have to say, I'm not a fan of comic books and therefor not a huge Asterix fan, but I genuinely LOVED the park! All the rides were SO much better than Disneyland. Or anywhere else I've been for that matter.. I definately want to go there again!

There was this ride Pauline and I went on thrice (can't remember what it's called) that we both loved! I lost an earring on the first time in one of the loops. The ride is basically just seven loops one after the other. It's bloody awsome! I was pissing my pants before the first time, but I had the BEST time. After getting off the ride you do feel kind of dizzy and light-headed, but who cares!

Daniéle and I went to see the dolphin show. It was pretty good, but there was a lot of talking, not that much dolphin tricks, like you might expect. I find it was better when I watched a similar performance in Finland last summer.. Oh well. They did have a baby dolphin, which was sweet.

Another ride that was fantastic was some Zeus ride. It was crazy! I had my hads up for most of the ride, but everyone else, excluding two/three guys at the very front. Pauline couldn't believe I had my hands up most of the ride. She, like everyone else, was gripping the bars, holding on for dear life. I wanted to go again, but we left pretty much right after. It was only four thirty..

Yesterday Daniéle and I went food shopping in Carrefour. It's a big chain that sells everything. I enjoy going there, even though I end up buying junk food every time I go there. I found these nice boots (heeless) there for 22€. I didn't get them because the quality didn't seem that good. But they were awsome.

Today I went shopping in the centre of town. I walked around for a few hours, going into shops and quickly walking out when I saw the prices. It's insanely expensive here. They have designer shops more than normal high street shops. They have a few and I found some things that I'd have like to have bought, but they were too expensive for my budget. I did end up buying a cardigan and a T-shirt form Mango. I love Mango.

I found awsome jeans form Promod, but they had no price tag, so I didn't know how much they were and I wasn't bothered to ask anyone or go in search for another pair.. Maybe another time.. Peut-être.

There are a lot of shops in which I found nice T-shirts, hoodies or shoes, but they were all too expensive. I'd have loved to have bought a Little Miss Sunshine T-shirt, but it waqs 49€! WAY too much for a T-shirt!

We had fake Tiramisú today. Daniéle makes the best raspberry Tiramisú in the world!

Tomorrow we're going shopping, Daniéle, Marie, Émilie and I. I'm not sure where, but we're making it an outing, leaving at nine tomorrow morning and coming back in the evening. I'm looking forward to it. I like shopping too much! :S

Occasionally I come up with the funniest jokes(in my oppinion), but I can't tell anyone because no one will understand! It's frustrating.. Maybe I'll add them here if I don't forget them by the end of the day! *i find it fun to watch the guys in my class juggle.. something about guys playing with balls facinates me. take from that what you will.*

Day 57-59 - Holiday, Theatre and Pauline

On Friday the holiday finally started! Our last "lesson" of the day was Pluri, but instead we had a presentation on the trip the terminale class went on. It was boring, I have to say, but I guess they had fun. 

I had mixed feelings as I walked down the path along side Marie. I'd miss everyone at school but I have things planned that I'm excited about. We met up with Antoine V. and Vincent at the bus stop, which was packed. The bus arrived and we were the last to get on, so Vincent decided to walk rather than wait for the next bus. He had his guitar case with him, so it wouldn't have fit on the bus even if he had wanted it to, the bus was so packed! We were squashed the whole way. Antoine barely managed to squeeze out of the bus at his stop with all his bags (he lives at the school during the week so he had like a suitcase and two bags with him!).

Yesterday we went to the theatre to watch a play. It was funny and I really enjoyed myself, especially as I understood most of what was going on. It had some French humour which I didn't (fully) understand, but I undestood most of it.

I was wearing my boots with the 7 or so cm heel and my feet were killing me form walking so fast to keep up with Marie, Daniéle and Daniéle's friend. They walk fast, which is no problem in trainers, but in heels it's torture! I love the boots, though! And my feet are fine now!

Today, around six p.m. Pauline came over. She's staying the night. We're going to Parc Asterix tomorrow and she's coming along. Which is cool. Apparently there are a lot of water slides at teh park.. So I'm taking another pair of trousers along with me. And a jacket I'm borrowing from my host-family.

We did Sudoku's all night. It was fun. I also learnt that I can mostly read the French texting lingo. It's not too difficult, all you have to do is read it out loud (in your head, if you can!) and you've got it. Some things I didn't understand because of vocabulary, but I understood the word it represented, if you will. It was fun because Pauline was texting with a friend and I got to read all the messages. I really want to learn the sms langue though I don't use (almost wrote utilise.. which would be directly from French..) it in English or Finnish.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow! I have to get some zzz's, so peace out y'all!
