Things seemed to have really bounce back and it feels like "normal" again: going back to my gym, Movida. It's great! With the reservations there isn't as many people so less people hogging machines and equipment! There was one guy who self-nominated to be the police and was snippy to me about leaving the cleaning … Continue reading Presque normale?

Bureaucracy en France… ohhhhh la la
Well wellllll well well well…. I finally made it to the Work Inspection office (L’inspection du travail). To catch you up on this, the consulate advised me to go there to get the final/official advice on whether I can work remotely. The last 2 times I went, I was told: Go away and make an … Continue reading Bureaucracy en France… ohhhhh la la
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
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
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 🙂

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
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
