Bonjour, mes amis! I know you haven’t heard from me for the longest time. I promised myself that I would blog for every place I have visited to while I’m on exchange, but as you can obviously see, I failed terribly. The last trip I blogged about was my trip to Marseille. I was in […]
I know I haven’t been updating my blog lately. I am actually four trips behind already (Torino, Nuremberg/Munich, Prague, and Brussels). I was actually motivated to update it already before I left for Brussels, but I didn’t have time as I had an early train ride last Sunday. Anyway, I just thought I had to […]
I have the worst eating habits here in Lyon. I thought I’d eat less and be healthier compared to when I’m in Vancouver, but no way in heck was that happening. I should have known better. I pretty much have no self control. I don’t know if eating dairy products (yogurt, cheese, milk – which […]
I was at Marseille, the second largest city in France, for the weekend of September 17th. Yep, still can’t get enough of the beach. I think I am finally drawing the line of getting tanned after this trip. I seriously have horrendous tan lines on my body. I have an odd-looking watch tan, which I tried to […]
First things first, I shall blog about my Marseille trip soon. I realized I haven’t blogged much about Lyon so I thought of just rambling about random things I see and observe everyday here. I LOOOVEEEEE (can’t even emphasize how much) how there are boulangerie patisseries and chocolatiers everywhere I go. They are super easy to find. Some aren’t the […]
Sorry for the one week delay for my Annecy trip. I will not lie, I got a little lazy to update my blog and since I am leaving for Marseille tomorrow, I thought it was about time that I tell you guys about this wonderful trip! I was in Annecy for two days (both Saturday and Sunday, […]
Yep, I can’t believe it myself. We had our French Placement Exam yesterday. One of the heads of the program advised us to only answer when we were a 100% sure with our answers because if we just guess and miraculously end up with the right answer, she might put us in the “wrong level” in terms […]
Things have been sailing pretty smoothly for the past couple of days. I finally got my metro card (just like my uPass back in Vancouver) and my student card (free entrance to museums all over France and other sweet benefits!). I’ve also settled in to my apartment at Le Moliere. Here’s a photo of my […]
Dad just left. Gulp. I’m all alone here with no family. This is it! Again, I can only hope for good things to come my way. My orientation in school starts in less than two hours. I have a feeling that Kuya Jess has kept me strong since I left Vancouver… aka I haven’t shed a […]
I can’t believe I never blogged about this. I will keep it short, but it relates back to my stay in Paris. I have always gone gaga over A&F and Hollister stores just because their sales associates are so attractive. But my oh my, the one and only storefront in Paris by Champs Élysées is magnanimous. […]
