I flew Ryanair and got a super cheap ticket for 5€! On the way back, I paid for baggage and picked to come back the same time as my friends so it was a bit more but overall, still very reasonable for 40€ all up. The flight was more or less on time and was … Continue reading Noël @ Martigues
Weekend @ Sarlat-la-Canéda
My friends and I rented a car from Drivvy and my friend J drove V&J and I to Sarlat-la-Canéda. It's a lovely little town about 2.5 hours away. The drive there was lovely and I fell asleep and woke up to some major crazy navigation as we were driving down a random backstreet laneway LOL … Continue reading Weekend @ Sarlat-la-Canéda
Quel semaine! Super busy week…
Last week, I did an extra shift with the family for babysitting. There is a strike going on in France and things are getting cancelled left, right and centre. SNCF trains may be cancelled, teachers striking randomly and after school care too. We made a chocolate bread house that's like a gingerbread house 🙂 It … Continue reading Quel semaine! Super busy week…
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
Slow days @ Toulouse :)
I tried Boli Café for Korean food with a friend. It was tasty and big portions with lots of meat. So good value, even at 12€. Then we went for a walk around the Christmas market. It was lovely! So many good smells 😀 I learned some more French slang too: J'ai la dalleJe galèreN'importe … Continue reading Slow days @ Toulouse 🙂
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 
Bon week: Lebanese food, gym, marché, burrata :)
Mmm Restaurant Chez Nous les Libanais was quite good! Great value as it was only 10€ for fries, rice, salad and choice of meat. I tried the classic Chicken shawarma. Yum! My bike's right brake didn't work so I went to Decathlon and they were so nice to just have a quick look and popped … Continue reading Bon week: Lebanese food, gym, marché, burrata 🙂
Le bon weekend de manger :d
Good eats this weekend and fun times 🙂 I went to try Senegalese food on Friday night with some friends at Le Dakar. They had live music that night too and the place was packed. We tried many dishes like: Yassa: Marinated poultry and its compote of lemon onionsMafé: sauteéd beef in peanut sauceThieb: red … Continue reading Le bon weekend de manger :d
Delicious start to the week, miam miam :d
Work has been coming along. I feel I'm getting a bit of traction to learn a bit faster and understand the flow a bit more. My French still needs work. I feel like I am catching on slowly but it's still fun to chat with everyone and to learn as I go. I also went … Continue reading Delicious start to the week, miam miam :d
Bon weekend vraiment!
I purchased a little heater from FNAC, a shop throughout France that sells books, tvs, multimedia, home appliances... a mixed bag of just stuff. I had to order it on Monday but finally got it on Thursday and just in time... it was 2C at 6am on Friday! I did ask Airbnb to ask my … Continue reading Bon weekend vraiment!
