Along with that, a ton of homework, presentations, essays and whatever else you can think of. And in case, dear reader, you forgot, its all in French.
But, some exciting things are going on this weekend. I'm going to the Wine museum, where yes, I will be sampling wine. Now, when I go to a wine store, I ll hopefully know what I'm drinking/what's good. After that, I m going to go to a club. And hopefully, I ll be cutting my hair. heheh
On Saturday, there is a huge market called Les Marches Flottants du Sud Ouest. Basically, all of these people from the South of France are coming up to Paris to sell their produce! And, they are supposed to be really different than the Parisians, so I m looking forward to that. And there's a HUGE techno festival. I m really curious if its anything like lovefest, if it is, I think I m going to really enjoy myself.
Sunday is Chartes. So, lots going on, and in between, I'll hopefully get some homework done. Right? ha, who am I kidding. I don't know how its going to get down, just that it will.
But, to recap on this week. I went and saw the Kooks. For free. At a communist festival. How awesome is that?? It was called Fete de Humanitaire, and goes on every year in Paris. Imagine--hippies, communists, old and young, all mixed together. Very interesting mix. There were a ton of people and we literally had to run to make it on time, but it was completely worth it. Then, we wandered around my district ( at least saw where you DONT want to go at night, there is a good reason, we now know, why Pigalle is NOT GOOD TO GO TO AT NIGHT...nothing happened and we were several, but still, its like the Tenderloin at night. But, we also found about a million overpriced crepe stands, a Starbucks, two McDonalds and numerous other random restaurants. Oh yeah, and tons of Subways. What is with subways in Paris?? I ve found like 6 so for. And pizza huts?? huh? Why would you go there, when you can eat Crepes all day long?
The next day, I went to a Pucce Marche. It was by the dorms where a couple of my friends live. I was actually really disappointed. Paris flea markets are supposed to be legendary, but this one, at least in my opinion, was incredibly disappointing. A lot of the stuff was junk and overpriced. A necklace that I found in the states and own for 15 dollars was being sold(with only one strand) for 40 euro!! AND the women then tried to persuade me why it was worth it!! It was also convenient that there were no price tags on anything. HM.
We also got Galletes, which is a type of crepe. YUm.
AND we found the most amazing ice cream place. EVER. Imagine italian ice cream, the flavors of cherries (fresh) mixing with jam, and dark chocolate. Then, imagine this creamy mix being put into a warm croissant. Yes, that is what I ate. My friend ate ice cream in a wafer, but what made it amazing was the the ice cream was shaped into a flower. I think everyone knows this is the place to go on a Sunday, cause the line was out the door. The name of the place?
Amorino. And personally, I don't think its really an Italian brand, cause most of the shops are in Paris, but there are some in Province, Barcelona and Shanghai.
GO there! eat, and be happy.
And now I must sign out and do all the homework that is so sweetly calling my name.
