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 →

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! →

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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →
