YesterdayI ran into Canadians. Waiting for Nela with Janavi infront of a store near the center of town, Place Kleber. Of course, we SHOULD have been speaking French, but I find it hard to speak another language with anglophones. It's just how it is. Two girls sneak up behind us and shout about how much the love english-speakers.
I found this hilarious, being something I've always wanted to do.
Turns out one is from New York, the other Toronto.
That was a shock.
Two of their friends wandered up as we were talking and turns out another of them is Canadian, also from Toronto.
That was really cool.
Then Janavi, Nela, Iitu and I went to see Looking For Eric. A very cool film. It's NOT just about Eric Cantona. An interesting and funny story. Great directing, acting, everything a film needs.
I'd recommend.

48 to go!
Well the Eurotrip was certainly interesting. Here's a little sample of what happened.
The first day we visited Paris, and like all the times I've been there...meh. It's really not that impressive. It's nice to see all the shiny things and hear about famous places, but it's still not that impressive. The second day we came to Strasbourg, which for me is technically comeing BACK to Strasbourg. It was great showing my friends around the town I live in though. After that we moved on to new and interesting things.
I have to say, I had the best beer I have ever had in Munich on the Third day. It's also a beautiful city. Surrounded by beautiful german countryside. I enjoyed it thouroughly. After that was Innsbruck, and I'm fairly sure I want to LIVE there once I'm older. Beautiful city, in the heart of mountains, wonderful youth life....I wanna go back there now. But good things must always end. After that we headed into Italy.
Italy, was meh. We visited Juliet's balcony in Verona. It was nice, but still...meh. We went to Venice, Lac de Garde (which I'm not exactly sure why is important) and Milan. Again, meh meh meh. It's not that impressive. Now that I've actually been there I can say this with honesty. Italy is nothing big for me.
Monaco,however, is a beatiful city. The most interesting thing is that in some places to boarder can be as much as a city street. It's really incredible. An entire country only 2km wide. It really is just a city. Stunning though. On the Cote d'Azur, so the water is this brilliant blue, and the sky reaching around for miles. Everything is ancient, but new at the same time... I really wish I lived closer to it. Avignon and the Palace of the Popes was rather boring because there wasn't anything to do, but it was nice to see.
After that we wandered into Switzerland and went to the UN. That really was incredible to see. So many important things affecting the future of the world are made in that building. It was amazing. Geneva is a wonderful city, and I'm sad that we only got 3 hours to see it. After that the trip was basically done. The last day was just driving back into Paris so we could get our trains home. I'm man enough to say I cried when we had to say goodbye to the new friends I had made, and the friends I already knew.
Anyway, that was my vacation. I thought it was pretty interesting. Cost me a good €910 euro, and then everything I bought, but it was fun.
Now I'm getting ready for this weekend, which is the last time I'm going to see a bunch of people. Sunday is a picnic for the exchange students. And a bunch of us are meaving before the next get together, the 27th of June.
