... else trying to find out if they're British as well (hey, that's me!), and look quite defensive when somebody else sits next to them (hey, that's me as well!). They then get out an English book and try to look very superior because they speak another language. (I do that sometimes.)<br>A lot of French people, particularly early in the morning, sit down and close their eyes and somehow magically wake up when it's their stop and run off the train. I don't know how they can do that ...

... therefore imagine how disturbing it was to see this torture machine in real-life! <br>Parts of the exhibition were very interesting, and the artist takes inspiration from contemporary society and when explained, some of his works make a lot of sense, but some of them are incredibly strange!<br><br>Yesterday I took a trip to Dunkirk with two other English girls, my guide-book says that Dunkirk is the most interesting of Nord-Pas-de-Calais ...

... had forgotten that I was coming, or in one case, did not turn up themselves! I taught a lesson on Saturday jobs on Friday morning which was very difficult, the text was very challenging for the students and I'm not sure how much they took in. In the afternoon Annabelle and I taught a lesson together and we used the song "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette which was excellent and we both really enjoyed the class, hopefully the students did too!<br><br ...

... at various buildings. All were very interesting and each professor incorporated their own concepts/ideas with each building. This became a more integrated approach to us learning our architecture. The next day we traveled to Amiens, to look at another Notre Dame Cathedral. A little different then the last, but still very impressive. Amiens was a nice little town, it houses a main university in France so it was awesome to get to see how other students in Europe ...

Last Friday we moved into our studio. To put it lightly we were a bit disappointed about the size, we hadn't expected a palace but we'd expected a bit of space to move around in! However, we had to keep reminding ourselves of how cheap the rent is and therefore how much extra money we will have to spend on other, more important, things!<br>As soon as we had arrived we went off to Ikea to buy essentials such as pots, pans, duvets, pillows and sheets and other decorations to help us to ...

... resting place of P/P Andrew Mynarski, VC, but our tour guide John Goheen seems open to possibilities and manages to start the day by getting us very close to the final resting place of William Norton whose name is on the cenotaph at H H Knoll Park in Port Colborne. I had hoped to see this grave yesterday when we visited what I thought was "The" Sunken Road Cemetery, but as it turns out there are many sunken roads and many sunken road cemeteries. Some further research revealed to ...

... in 1932 - it was a bit of a political hotcake - as France at the time was of course a part of the world wide recession - Germany had not paid any reparations (yet) because they were broke - however England and the Commonwealth Countries were able to erect large monuments about the battlefields. So France and Britain came to an agreement to make the memorial to the missing at Thiepval - and Anglo/Franco Monument ...

... lived here in a small hermitage - nearby, sterile couples would copulate on one specific stone to try to conceive, following a Celtic rite of fertility. Unfortunately, as far as I could make out there were no sterile women for me to try it out with so I had to miss out on that experience.<br>Another thing that piqued my curiosity was the statue of a St Jacob's Pilgrim, almost identical to one I had seen in Speyer in the German Palatinate district (about 2,000 kms ...

... that were used similar to those of the quarry. We got to see some interesting pieces found on the site such including petrol cans that were used for water as well as petrol: Because it was so dark down in the tunnels it was hard to distinguish them one from the other: Many soldiers would have taken q drink fro, the gas can. As well we saw an interesting item called a man trap which was invented by the Swiss, sold to both sides...designed to ...
