Things I Learned This Week

July 27, 2011 · Nikki

  1. Despite my initial reluctance to spend too much time with Anglophones in France, I’ve discovered that being around them while sharing the experience of foreign exploration is really fun.
  2. I can successfully host guests in my home.
  3. Life is fragile.
  4. Don’t put your personal belongings on the table at a restaurant in a touristy area if you wish to continue owning them.
  5. I love receiving hand-written letters! (Thanks Mom :) )
  6. I’ll wait until I speak better French before I get another manicure in Paris.
  7. After living here for nearly three months I finally had my first fresh baguette – and I learned that everything they say about the bread in France is true :)
  8. Few things beat having a washer/dryer in your home.
  9. I really enjoy writing.
  10. It really is a (big) small world…
Next stop: the USA! I’ll be returning to the States for a whirlwind adventure filled with nuptials, nonsense and reunions with friends and families.
Ciao!

      Hello! Thanks for stopping by :)

      I definitely still have nails, but we’ll see if that’s still the case in a few weeks. Hopefully I’ll still be able to type… haha!
