Learning a bit more French slang: d'acc = D'accord qg = quartier generale = local, like your local watering hole/ bar 🙂 TIP: traditionnel is apparently THE BEST type of baguette 😀 I treated my housemate for dinner as he saved my butt by makin me lunch back in mid-March. He had a fun suggestions … Continue reading Kinda, sort back to normale?

Food for thought en France
I remember going to the boulangerie and person in front of me asked for "une traditionelle". That was really cool to catch on a local ordering something so classic French. I was inspired and asked as well for "une traditionelle". I had no idea what type of baguette after all LOL but I guess it's … Continue reading Food for thought en France
A few days à Berlin
I’ve started a new job. I’m really excited about it as I will assist in managing the sales, agents and distributors in Europe for a lifestyle company. They had a booth at a tradeshow in Berlin and asked if I’d like to attend, train and learn more there. Of course yes! 😀 So off I … Continue reading A few days à Berlin
L’administration Francaise…wouah wouah putain
I am going back to Australia for a month in Feb 2020 for a friend's wedding. Luckily my gym allows a suspension on the membership at no cost! That is great 🙂 I've decided to apply for the extension to my working holiday visa 😀 I am excited at the prospect of another year in … Continue reading L’administration Francaise…wouah wouah putain
Le weekend super chill
Got a hair trim at Diloy's hair salon. They don't take any appointments but I went on a Friday at 2pm, the day after the big strike in France, so it wasn't busy. They were professional, friendly and fast. I was done in about 35 mins! TIP: For your first visit, it's 20€; 24€ after … Continue reading Le weekend super chill
La poste, le shopping , l’administration français, ohh la la :/
I went shopping for Xmas presents at Decathlon. Seriously, this is one of my favourite French stores. Great for sporty and travel goods. And great deals for decent quality too! After a good haul, I went to the post office and mailed off the items. I had originally tried to mail wine but after some … Continue reading La poste, le shopping , l’administration français, ohh la la 
Job, travail, work, emploi
Well, I had my first week of working for French companies/enterprises. I gave out resumes around the 3rd week of October and got some good responses with casual work... in fact from 3 places! I chatted with the lovely S at the Ytaing Grocery and she gave me some advice. I took down a number … Continue reading Job, travail, work, emploi
Mon amie T comes to visit :D
First friend to come to visit! T is from Finland but now living in Germany. We met in Melbourne. 🙂 She arrived on Thursday afternoon. It was good to see her and to chill and show her around a bit as the morning was hectic. I had been to the gym, talked to the owner … Continue reading Mon amie T comes to visit 😀
The oven, l’apparte and the chelou
Got a lil toaster oven 🙂 I got it second-hand off Leboncoin, France's equivalent of gumtree/craigslist. The gal was very nice and luckily I spotted the pan so she chucked that in too. It was a bit dirty with stuff stuck on the bottom but it's only 3 years old and works fine so for … Continue reading The oven, l’apparte and the chelou
Quel busy day!! ohh la la
What a busy day! I woke up rather early but took some time rustling up breakfast. Then, off I hopped onto my bike and got going to get around passing out resumes. TIP: Toulouse is really flat and many bike-friendly paths. You can go in either direction on almost all roads even if it's only … Continue reading Quel busy day!! ohh la la
