An Adventure Filled Weekend.

Dear Paris,


You are amazing, but you already know this. Even after six weeks I still think that you are beautiful.


Love Tori xx

Yesterday, I participated in Les Olympiades at Cite U.

Leaving only 1/2 hour before I was sure I would be late, but a little bit of old-fashioned running ensured that I was only 5 minutes late.

Some fun activities -I the ever-sporty representative of Australia- was going nuts cheering for our enthusiastic but nevertheless losing team of Paris 3, all dressed in purple.

Had lunch with two boys from the red team (Paris 8, I think?)- one egyptian, the other moitie italien, moitie francais and a Chinese girl called Louise from my team. Her friend (South Korean), came over to have a look at what we were doing. After she found out that I was an Aussie, we discovered that not only had she been to PERTH, of all places, but she had also done some studies at UWA. What are the freaking chances?!

For lunch, I had Poulet et frites, une salade de carottes et un yaourt all for the insane price of 3,10EUR.
INSANE.

After lunch, more activities and I managed to get more bruises, one even on my fingertip (slight swelling).

I had to leave at 15h30 to get to Bobino Theatre near Montparnasse tower to see Voca People. Incredible. I kept thinking of how much all the girls in the Animando Barbershop at St. Hilda's would have loved it.

After the show, I chatted to my friend Alizee and her godfather's family, who came with us. We departed swiftly to my apartment in the 11th.


I took Alizee to the Eiffel Tour as it lit up at 20h00.

There were some Mexican musicians and we were dancing to the Salsa music.

We took a Carousel ride and then ate a crepe in front of the Eiffel tower- beautiful moments.



Then accidently met two Germans and a Turkish girl who were trying to get to Rue Oberkampf(like two streets from me). I thought one of them was Irish as he had a funny accent (they spoke in English to each other) which is why I started to talk to them. Luckily they met up with me, because they had the completely wrong station in mind! 




Then we danced the night away in a Bar called Mercano. Returned home at 5am (didn't really have dinner except for a fromage crepe in front of the TOUR EIFFEL). Today was Skypery and laziness. Need to really get my study on and plan what to do after Amsterdam.
