Now this was the kinda week I was waiting for!!!
Monday: hmm... I can't really remember what I did, but I know I did something
Tuesday: Out at and little house party where I met some nice Brits... point? greet some new colleagues... & get drunk
Wednesday: Finally met up with some of my cousins from around the area and managed to plan a near journey of discovery and amazement in the night-life of the city of angels... Paris.
Thursday: out to another 'little' house party... point? say goodbye to some old colleagues... & get drunk.
Friday: now this is the one I prefered...
I met up with my cousins and went to the Oberkampf area (center's north east of Paris), where we discovered (or rather just 'I') a few bars and pubs: my favorite was the Charbon, lots of pretty 'gals that would be looking at me as if I were some sort of local celebrity (very pleasant I must say), but also a very nice atmosphere and good music (a bit crouded though). Then we went to the Wax, nice place but too young and no nice music (yes, still a nice place if you're there to sit and chat). After that we wandered around to different places, none of which I remember the name, except maybe the "Chat noir" but not worth remembering. Now I think that the only problem is that everything closes at 2.o0am... HOW BLOODY BORING!!!
Saturday: met up with a friend/ex-teacher (Yann for the ones who know) & some of his, and tried watching the france-georgia soccer match (stoped before half-time.. too boring) and then lazed around before going down rue de la Huchette to get caught in a Greek restaurant like a moskito to a neon light. It was a lifetime experience, but to do only once... really. For those who want to dare try it out, it's called "les Argonautes" and it #12 on the street in the 5th district. I'm never going there again: never had I eaten in such a loud environment (go to www.lesargonautesparis.com).
Sunday: we then went walking in a park outside of Paris (Parc de Sceaux @ http://parc-de-sceaux.9online.fr), very very very nice castle over there (I'm jealous... sniff). I then ended my most active week ever with a nice dinner at a Moroccan restaurant, in the middle of nowhere but with the best coucous Ever.
Lots of money spent, but all worth the fun.
