Oh how i love the French!

Hi all

Been a while since i've written on here, sorry about that...will try and keep more of a rhythm.

Firstly i would just like to say that i love France and the french!!

Secondly...the French are weird! Just in general weird! Those of you living in France will know exactly what i'm meaning, constantly kissing each other passing on 'Grippe A' like its an extended form of facial herpes! Also the paperwork...does France not know that we are trying to conserve rainforests and their vastly decreasing trees. But what really gets me going is need to insert the following words into a conversation every 2/3 words throughout...'genial', 'super', 'cooooolllleee' insead of the normal cool! oh and let's not forget, 'buh'..."ah buh, oui, buhhhhhhhhhhhhh"....if you don't know what to say how about just being quiet and giving my eardrums a rest for, oh i dunno, 2 seconds!

Anyway enough ranting about the French's speaking habits. Having such a great time here. On Saturday night was at my roommates teacher's house for what we were told was just a little apperatif!! on the contrary..turned out to be the womans birthday, she proceeded to whap out the champagne, with loads of little nibbles which turned out just to be the starter. THEN we had duck, which was superb! But the best is yet to come, she served the duck with only the finest pomme de terres that exist in the whole world...Smileys!!!!! Now that was just pure class, dunno what was going on there, champagne with Smileys but hey ho it rocked my socks neverthless. We also had tarts and canalais, a typically Bordeaulaise cake. oh and we also went through our fair share of red wine. The teacher though was absolutely fantastic, such a hoot and her daughters were lovely too, we never stopped laughing the whole night. For any of you that have french tv or know of the programme 'un diner presque parfait' we decided that night that we are going to have our very own 'diner' doing everything just like the show, right down to the filming of opinions in the toilette!! the french really do have class huh??

Oh also went to see 'This is it' the Michael Jackson film, which i must say was pretty amazing, for any of you that haven't ventured to the pics i highly reccomend that you do. The man was a legend, even at 50 his dance moves were still spectacular!

Anyhoo bye for noo....
