Hé hé !

L'Amérique latine, nous voici nous voilà très très bientôt !!!
Plus que quelques heures avant le décollage...
L'excitation et l'appréhension sont 2 émotions qui se battent en duel en ce moment.

Le départ est prévu à 20h ce lundi 7 décembre de Paris CDG et l'atterrisage le mardi 8 décembre à Buenos Aires.
Nous en avons rêvé et ce projet va enfin devenir réalité.

Nous partons tout équipés : les 2 v ...

... in Paris. I really had so much luck with the weather and the city itself was beautiful. The last few days I visited Montmartre, the picturesque artsy part of town on a hill, where I visited the gorgeous Church of Sacree Coeur, as well as the cafe where one of my favorite movies, Amelie, was filmed. I took lots of pictures and arrived there as I listened to it's amazing soundtrack.

I also ...

... br>Yesterday on my way to work, I was sat next to a couple of respectable looking people until they got off and were replaced by an old wrinkly smelly man on one side and an old smelly woman on the other side. The woman smelt like very very very old cheese, and had a carrier bag that she kept looking into and feeling inside it for something but she never once brought out whatever it was so I never got to find out... perhaps it was the very very very old cheese.

... art" exhibition with Annabelle, the teacher in charge of me at school and a good friend. We went to see an exhibition by Peter Klasen, a German artist called "Retrospective". This was by far the most bizarre "art" I have ever seen in my life, ranging from photo collages to toilets with ultraviolet lights to a mock-up of "The Penal Colony" by Franz Kafka, a short story which I read last year for University and found most disturbing! I'm sure you ...

... of the class eventually but I can tell it's going to be an adventure working with them!

Tuesday and Wednesday were mine and Erin's days off so we chilled out, got some things done, such as trips to the bank and supermarket, went to the cinema and went out for a drink with Annabelle, and before we knew it, it felt like Monday morning all over again!

Thursday and Friday were much better days than Monday, although of course some ...

Hello all,
sorry it has been such a long time, but the pace has really picked up around here. This trip was from a long time ago, about two weeks now. I will briefly cover it because it was such a great experience.

Our school takes us on one field trip each semester. This first field trip we went on went to Couzy, Laon, Lille, and Amiens. All are in Northern France. All 41 students went along with three of our professors, history, design and structures. We ...

I woke up late - at about 9.30, having fallen back to sleep. After a rush to get ready, and eat some breakfast, I set off in the rain, to the station. The locals were out doing shopping. People of all shapes and sizes take those pull along trolleys with them to go shopping in Brussels. I wouldn't expect to see a big guy towing a vinyl trolley with a couple of head of celery and a leak sticking out the top, in Bristol ...

... was absolutely beautiful inside...beautiful whilte marble floors and black marble columns; beautiful carved decorations...it was just gorgous. As for the kind of stores in this gallery, well, there were many a different type: lots of high end clothing stores, some well known others not so well known, lots of chocolate stores, which hey I was in Belgium after all, and souvenir shops. I didn't really go into any of the shops, except for two chocolate ...

... Mes cours de néerlandais sont terminés depuis environ deux semaines et ils me manquent déjà. Les étudiants étaient vraiment sympathiques et j'ai hâte à la prochaine occasion de retourner à Leuven. Je poursuis ma recherche d'emploi pour financer le reste de mon séjour et faire quelques petits voyages cet été. J'ai reçu quelques appels d'employeurs potentiels et je vais bientôt me préparer pour mes premières entrevues.

... ingénieurs. Nous prenons le repas dans une grande pièce sur deux étages qui lui donne un air encore plus vaste. Le repas est bon, mais malgré mon appel au traiteur pour le prévenir de mes allergies alimentaires, ils n'ont pas préparer d'entrée ou de désert spécial pour moi et je ne peux manger que le plat principal. Au téléphone le traiteur n'avait pas du tout l'air concerné par mes ...
