This weekend was quite exciting!
On the Friday, a friend and I went rock climbing. This was
my second time rock climbing (as last week my host mom and I went on the wrong
night, but the French people were so nice that they still let us climb the wall
for free) so I felt comfortable downing 3 glasses of wine at an aperitif my
host mom and I went to. I wasn’t driving – which was what the party guests told
me, so hence why it was ok for me to drink that much. The wine really worked in
my favour! I wasn’t afraid of the heights whatsoever! I just felt awesome –
like Spiderman!
“Spiderman,
Spiderman
He can do what no one can
Oh yeah, here comes the spiderman”
- My version of the spiderman song, and
yes I am too lazy to look for the actual lyrics of the song.
And the people there were so wonderful – French people are
very nice, contrary to popular stereotypes; as long as you are outside of
Paris.
The next day was quite exciting as we went to see the Hunger
Games movie! I’ve been receiving loads of snapchats and updated statuses on facebook
about people going to see it, and so I of course have as well. Let’s just say I
can’t get “Are you coming to the tree” out of my head – aka IT WAS AWESOME!
We also did some shopping – aka lots of money spent (no, not
on me) – but at least I have a Christmas gift for everyone back home (except for
the cheese and wine – that’ll have to be last minute purchases).
The next day my friend and I hit up the christmas market at Champs-Elysee where I bought more Christmas gifts....
....and then I dragged my friend out to a meet-up that was
happening in Paris. We met some really nice people, it was really nice to
change up the scenery of people. After our little aperitif (I’ve been to
several of these now; verdict: French people love wine; “Quelle surprise!”) we
headed to Musée Grévin, which is the Parisian wax museum. While it did not have
the largest amounts of celebrities as I am sure the American wax museums have,
it was still fascinating. In one day I met my favourite artist of all time
Stromae, I became a child of Bragenlina, I tried to blend in with the “crowd”, I refamiliarized myself with Einstein’s theory of relativity, after which we
took a selfie to celebrate our wisdom, and then I met Putin.
And now thanks to Lina I have 100+ awesome songs to
download, which I wasn’t able to do today as our internet in the house wasn’t
working…. that’s what you get when you live in the middle of no where; I know
this feeling too well as it’s the same problem back home. At least I am almost
done the Game of Throne books, cannot wait for the new season to start up again
as I’ll finally won’t be in the dark about who dies and who lives – I am still
recovering from the “crushed head fiasco”.
