... a drink at each bar and ask the bartender. “Good evening to you sir, do you have a position available in this establishment?”. Eventually getting to the point of “Me want job long time?” when I get drunk and start talking stereotypical asian prostitute from Vietnam war movies of the 80's. And, in the end, if I don't find a job in the coming months. At least I had a crack and go home knowing that it was not because of home sickness and at least I tried ...

... and then showing you a piece of paper asking for $$, we only got caught out once though from the on we just shook our heads) Notre dame was gorgeous! We caught the tube (via a few changeovers to get on the right coloured line) and headed back to the hotel to get ready for Moulin Rouge..we had to walk a fair distance to get there as the traffic was **** due to a protest and we would have been late so it wasn´t a whole day of walking thatdid my feet in ...

... it. It costs to take a tour and it would also consume probably an entire day in itself if you actually wanted to go inside. For those that don't know the Louvre Museum is a art museum, a historic monument, and a national museum of France. It has over 35,000 rare paintings and statues and covers an area of 60,000 square meters (652,300 square feet). It used to be the Louvre Palace which began as a fortress built in the 12th century ...

... but also because of the history that had gone on it that very room. After all our visits to Belgium and the Somme Valley, and all the WWI history we had learnt, it was quite incredible to stand in the very room where the Treaty of Versailles was signed in June 1919 at the end of WWI. We spent a little longer exploring some of the extensive gardens surrounding the palace but didn't have enough time to really do it justice. It would easily take an hour to walk from one ...

... un souvenir heureux de ta vie. C'est vrai, çà fonctionne! C'est dommage, je n'ai pas de photo de la vieille folle. L'après-midi, on a rencontré Yétoundé. Elle s'occupe de louer l'appartement à Josée. Elle est vraiment gentille et comique. J'ai trouvé que c'était une personne dynamique, motivée, qui sait ce qu'elle veut de la vie et qui prend les moyens pour réussir. On a jasé pendant une heure et demie de temps. On a parlé de l ...

Well it has been a week or so since my last entry, Paris is feeling more like home and I am sooooooo over rugby! I did buy an All Blacks hat though, can't wait till the games start getting a bit more exciting. Thursday the 12/9 was my first day off and I was so excited to do some sight seeing. Instead I spent the majority of the day lost in not so nice parts of Paris. I must learn to read the guide books properly for when things are actually open and study my map a bit more carefully ...

... toaster. It was hollow, and its center was filled with hot (not quite boiling) water. Metal "dippers" shaped to hold an egg each were hanging off the sides. Quite simply, you put an egg in a dipper, hang the dipper off the side, thereby plunging the egg in the hot water. Three - or five, or ten minutes later - you take the egg out of the water, and voila! Oeuf a la coque, comme disent les Français! Or, if you prefer, a soft-boiled, or hard-boiled egg. The successful cooking of ...

... the train stayed at the station for several seconds with no more people boarding. I suppose they didn't want to lose their place. The train left the airport stop. We had 20 minutes before check-in for our flight closed, and the people who had blocked our way off the train helpfully informed us that at the next stop you could only get off on the other side of the train. A good 2 metres and 50 people away. Nearly impossible. We asked if they thought we could jump off on the ...

... of a Gourmet Magazine recommended bistro. We found l'Ami Jean, 27 rue Malar, not far from the Musee d'Orsay. We ate one of the best meals of our trip here. We chose the prixe fix menu and I had a wonderful chicken with vegetable entrée, sweet breads for the plat du jour and "best rice pudding in Paris" for dessert. Jen also had the chicken with vegetable entrée, Sandy had the most delicious creamy vegetable soup, and Jen and Sandy had a duck plat du jour ...
