Getaway weekend for the girls! Our school had organised a camp out of Paris at Royan.
Chalet? Checked. Sports & games? Checked. Open bar? Checked. Sand & water? Checked.

Weekend leftovers = Xuelin and I.

In the morning, we brought the Mexican girls to the flea market that Thibault had brought us 2 weeks ago. Xuelin and I went to Saint Michel for lunch. Yum! It’s my first time tasting French food in a month upon arrival.

After a fulfilling lunch, we visited the tourism office in Pyramides to check out the places where we could visit as well as find decent accommodation for Winter 2006. We passed by some beautiful places as we strolled from Saint Michel to Saint Germain des Pres to Pyramides.

Learnt that the flea market is actually one of the best, if not the best, in Paris. That explains the frequent flock of crowds.

We headed back in the rain and bought baguette for dinner. Xuelin bought dessert thinking that it should taste nice. Hell no, tasted really bad!

Lesson learnt for the day: Looks and taste don’t come together.

Happy birthday Mama! Aww, sad that I can’t be there to give her a BIG birthday hug!
Oh well, had a very peaceful Sunday! Went to Macdonalds at Etoile myself as Xuelin went to church. Bren psychoed me into downloading Skype (www.skype.com) but there’s no one to talk to. Ended up making Hua download it too and we tried the programme out by talking to each other through our mics.
