Faire Du Kiak!

I just got back from one of the BEST Rotary Weekends I have ever had! Actually, it was a Rotex Weekend! lol We went kayaking! Which was so much fun! Here are some pictures of me and my friends trying to kayak! :D

Making Pancakes

Sarah and I are trying to make pancakes! The key word is trying! lol

"Holiday On Ice"

Sarah and I just got back from seeing "Holiday on Ice" in Lille. It was so breathtaking that I ended up buying the DVD and CD!

PHOTOS: The first picture, I took and the second, Sarah took from where we were sitting! :D

Brugge, Dinner, & Middle School

1. Last weekend, I went to Brugge, Belgium - which was soooo beautiful! Words would put it to shame, so I am going to put up a video that I took when I went on a canal ride. It will either be on my blog or on Facebook - not sure yet.

2. Had dinner with the Rotary, on Wednesday, that lasted for 5 hours - surprise, surprise! lol But it was a lot of fun and now I am able to understand and answer the basic questions (in French - of course!) "Where do you live?" "How long will you be here?" "Is this your first time in France?" and "Which do you like better: the U.S. or France?"

3. I went to the Middle School, which was so much fun because I have like a billion friends there who are all trying to talk to me in English - which is really cute! :D

4. Also, I have been working on my Rotary Jacket, so it's super cool now! I'll post a picture of it soon!

5. Going to Lille today, so I'll write more later...

The Differences!

At school, no one knew what my canteen was used for. I had to explain that you put drinks in it, when you are going somewhere or doing something, like playing sports or just going to school. That canteens are better for the environment, but I don't think they really understood - I guess canteens just don't exist in France. Also, in public places, both men and women use the same WC (Water Closet). Which means, if the WC is small without people in it, when there are people - it's like trying to cross a street in New York City - it's way too busy! And I have still not seen a public WC with soap, but I'm still looking. LOL

By the way, I am just getting over being sick, but when I was really sick: my host mom gave me a bowl of warm chocolate milk to make me feel better. In France, they normally have this with bread - which is really good! :D
