i spent 2 weeks in france, sully to be precise, and i stayed with a french family. the family were really nice and kind :) my french dad is a cow farmer...so i can here cows moo from my room. when we first got there we were like WOAH. why are all the cows white... and i found out that white cows are for MEAT. and apparently white cows from burgundy are very good (and $$$ ?) and i got to try some steak that my french dad raised?. yeah. my french mum is a housewife.and i spend most of the time with her. she's so sai sum and caring its quite :) sweet.. hahah. she has to wake me up for work everyday... and the most funny thing was one morning.. like always.. she knocked on my door... but instead of calling me amy.. she called me SHU SHU... ahahah it was pretty funny... justine is the younger sister. and she talks at the table all the time really really quickly about EVERYTHING. and even after having 14 dinners with her.. i still dont really understand her. BUT she's cool... and her friends are cool too. i really enjoyed hanging out with them. charlene is the older sister. annnd she's more quiet. so i was really shocked when i heard her swear real loud when she was cleaning the pool. buuuut. hahaha. i'm keeping in touch with her through email and she's really nice. merci beaucoup pour un sejour tres amusant :)
i also did work experience in a nearby town called autun where i worked in a shop called cache cache. its a pretty BIG shop.. i thought it resembled a little bit of benneton.. or stores like that. at the beginning all i did was sort clothes and i didn't really enjoy it that much. but when i got to know the girls better, they started talking to me more.. i got to do more COMPLICATED things. such as folding clothes.. using these beeping machine to check prices.. writing the sale tickets. and it was pretty cool because i was actually doing the same jobs as my more experienced colleagues.. and at certain points i thought i was pretty GING and efficient. hahah. hahah oh yeah and once i was on the car of my colleague with shushu after having mcdonalds with the WHOLE WORLD. and something happened. and she swore with a string of french swearwords.. and me and shu shu started laughing our butts off. we got back to the shop.. and she asked me why i was laughing.. and i told her that i understood the swearwords.. and she got really embarassed. BUT. hahah whatever. merci beaucoup pour un stage tres cool :)

 le restaurant vietnamese.. tres bizarre it was our last day of work so we decided to sik ho dee (eat better). so we went to a vietnamese restaurant with absolutely NOBODY inside. we even had to go looking for a waiter to order. we thought it was going to be really expensive. but only turned out to be 9 euros.. which is pretty cheap for a good meal
