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 😀
Day trip à Carcassonne
Up by 7am, we had a big breakfast that got us going to walk to the Saint-Cyprien market. Cute and small, it has it's own character. There was a massive pumpkin the size of a massive pizza pan and some nice lookin soup in it 🙂 We then went with Blablacar and had a good … Continue reading Day trip à Carcassonne
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
Le Weekend + Monday
I joined a Book club and we met at the Moai cafe in the museum. It is lovely! High ceilings with lots of natural light there and nice, average priced food. Very family friendly and you can sit for a long time without being disturbed. Apparently they have free wifi too. I had the daily … Continue reading Le Weekend + Monday
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
Finally settling into Toulouse
After my parents departed, I felt I could finally organize my space the way I wanted it. I cleaned it up as well. It was nice to settle in and have my own place to myself. I needed it as I was really feeling sick and needed some downtime to get better. So, I holed … Continue reading Finally settling into Toulouse
Learning French from locals
Cheese:My dear pal C told me about this delicious cheese: Trou de cru. I told my friends P & E about it and E howled in laughter. Apparently the way I said it sounded like "trou de cul", which means... asshole. Lol 😂😂 Eventually, I ordered the cheese at the Marché couvert Saint-Cyprien with much … Continue reading Learning French from locals
Bouncing over to Bayonne & Biarritz
My parents have come to visit for a few days. After showing my parents around Toulouse, which they enjoyed, we took the train to Bayonne! It was a good experience for them to take the TGV/Intercities train and we chilled out for the time we were there as the tix were very cheap, 19€ each … Continue reading Bouncing over to Bayonne & Biarritz
The Airbnb shituation
Well, I showed up at the allotted check in time that is noted on the listing and reiterated in the messages with the host and the place was not ready. The bed was stripped and dirty linen and towels were on the bed. *angryface* I was annoyed as I had to leave in 2.5 hours … Continue reading The Airbnb shituation
