J'arrive a Paris

Wed, 08 May 2013 22:59:00 +0800

I am counting down the days (not long now) until I embark on a journey to Paris. I have never done this before. Like travel solo to a country I have never been but yet heard so much of. I first grew fascinated by the language many years ago and have been undertaking French lessons ever since. I don’t know what got me into this whole French thing, I would say curiosity, in relation to its rich history, art, language. I always find that sometimes the conveyance of a sentiment is much more expressive in French than English.

I have set a few goals that I would like to achieve for this trip. This has become a habit. Every time I go visit a city, I would create a list of goals. Like in Sydney Jan 2013, one of my goals was to buy macarons from the Laduree store at Westfields. Though my love for macarons has dwindled down over the years, I will still want to try out the real deal from the flagship store in Paris.

Oh and to fill up my time, in the hope to immerse in the language and culture; I will be enrolling myself to a French school for French lessons. On the accommodation side, I am still sorting it out but I have several options and one of them is to board with an old French lady named Joelle who lives by herself and her cat.

A bientôt <3

A video of my friend Camelia from Paris ! Had so much fun learning about France, the culture, the cool places to go, and her helping me with the language which I have been learning for 4 years ! Of course, it was such a delight to show her around Perth and help her with English lol

Paris in the eyes of a cute little 10 y.o boy

[at a dinner party]
Aaron: Do you watch any horror movies?

Daniel (10 years old): Yes, the devil wears Prada, that's a horror movie.

Aaron (laughs): LOL Daniel thinks devil wears Prada is a horror movie

Me: huh, how is DWP a horror movie?

Daniel (as matter of factly): The girl who was about to go to Paris almost died, she got banged by a car, and almost lost her job, so it's a double kill. Imagine you lost your job before going to Paris...

“Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.”

RIP Ray Bradbury, you will be remembered for being a great story-teller, you brought readers through the kaleidoscope, into a world where we would never have imagined.

Met up with Matthew before our French class and we went to Jean Pierre’s Patisserie for tea. I tried their Chocolat & Moët et Chandon flavoured macarons! The chocolate one was heavenly but the Moët one was too strong for me I think! I love going to this cafe, always gives me the Parisian vibe with their French servers etc! After that, we went for a stroll to the Art Gallery and then Julien, a friend from Paris texted to see if we wanted to meet him at la bibliothèque. He wanted to meet up earlier today but I forgot to tell him.. He helped us with les devoirs, more like forcing me to do my devoirs, I was too tired et unmotivated.

C’est tout! Il pleut des cordes ajh et it sure was quite a frenchy day.
