London Calling!!

London Loves!!! Last weekend I had an amazing adventure in London! Such a faboosh city! Def tops my list of fab 5! So to begin my adventure, we had a group of 6 of us going. Well 4 of the girls decided to take the plane to London from a tiny airport an hour away and my friend and I decided to take the train from Paris. Paris is about an hour and a half from Angers where we study. My friend and I immediately left class at noon to catch a train to Paris and then the train from Paris to London. We had only a little time in London until our next train so we had to book our booties! Well I never thought to remind my friend to bring her passport and she forgot it L Well there was nothing left for her to do but take the train all the way back to Angers and fly to London the next day. Well there I was wanting to shizz myself not having expected to go to London by myself! I was absolutely freakin haha! The train ride was pretty dang cool though; we went under the English Channel! After an hour and a half I arrived in London to an absolute adorbs train station with the Olympic rings hanging high! Too cute! I then try to take a taxi, I had never seen such adorbs taxis but oh shizz I totes forgot they drive on the other side of the road so I was def freaking out! When we got to my hostel (which happens to be a pub/hostel) I had totes forgotten to exchange my euros for pounds and the driver only wanted pounds! The hostel owner who totally looked like Russel Brand came out and said in an adorbs Brittish accent “that’s alright love just hop on over to the ATM across the street and I’ll pay him for you now”. Yep that’s right he actually paid the driver for me while I got the money out of the ATM, I was so shocked, in France I would have gotten so much shizz for that! I ended up spending the night in the pub (the girls didn’t arrive until 10pm and I had gotten there at 6pm) hanging with British guys and watching the Olympics. The next day we saw the London Eye (Ferris Wheel), Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey. Oh my gosh everything was too cute and looked right out of the movies! London was crawling with volunteers for the Olympics so we got around wonderfully and the people were so kind and friendly! At Buckingham Palace we were able to watch the Olympic speed walking event, too funny! We didn’t get to see the changing of the guards due to the Olympics though L The Abbey was probably my favorite thing (because of the royal wedding of course!) it was absolutely stunning inside and had more history than I’d seen in my life! It was incredible seeing the tombs of Queen Elizabeth the first and the place where princess Diana was laid to rest. That afternoon we had incredible fish and chips and tried to get into Olympic park. It didn’t really work out haha. London was incredible but the Olympics were quite unorganized, it was incredibly hard to get tix just for the park! We were able to see one of the Olympic runners for Britain who had just won bronze! So fab! He even had his medal around his neck! Afterwards we went shopping at Topshop! I of course had to go there for my bestie Megan! Holly shizz this Topshop was on Oxford Street and was 4 stories big complete with a Dj, hair salon, nail salon, beauty shop and more! It was almost too faboosh, I got lost several times haha! After dinner that night we decided to go to a club, well the club was sort of a bust, so not faboosh! The drinks were uber expensive and when we complained, the owner was sups rude! We decided next time to go to a more local club. Our last day in London we rode the eye! So fab! We were able to see a couple Olympic stadiums from above and the Olympic marathon on the bridge near Big Ben! Afterwards we went to Victoria Park. For the Olympics, London set up multiple viewing parks for people wanting to watch the games. At these parks there are rides, food, beer, giant screen tvs and live bands. Many of the athletes actually visit people at the viewing parks! Victoria Park is the biggest viewing area and is called “London Live”. It was a really neat atmosphere and I got to dress up and wave my British flag! I was British just for the day haha J We were able to watch the marathon live and then had to catch our train L We also had a blast riding the “tube” (London metro) everywhere! So much more clean and easy to navigate than Paris! We had such a faboosh time and felt so welcome! It has def been hard being back in France! London made it so much more obvious how rude the French can be and how unwanted we feel at times! My class is still terrible and the teacher is awful! She actually snapped her fingers in people’s faces when they couldn’t answer a question! We feel humiliated constantly. It’s unfortunate since we had such a faboosh month last month! Oh well I am counting down the days for my bday with Justin in Paris and then home!!! Oh and after London, I am totes calling people love more often, its too cute!! Bisous my loves!  

Paris, Angers, Bordeaux OH MY!

Hey loves!! I know it has been way to friggin long since I last updated! So my aunt and little cousin visited last week and we went to Paris, Angers and Bordeaux! Well to begin with I had the brilliant idea to put my aunt, a 7 year old and myself in a hostel. Well I decided to meet them in Paris at the hostel and oooh man was this hostel jenk! It was off a sketch metro line so I was like shizz where did I take my poor family!? I totes got lost trying to find them and was immediately called a bitch. Once I finally did find them the betch working there was a monster. I politely and fabooshly said in French I have a reservation and she just responds “That’s Nice” then realizes who I am and says in a totally disgusted voice “oh the one with a kid”. Well we ended up sharing a room with some crazy Russian chick that realized we were a family and peaced out of there. Needless to say we got the heck out of there and went to a much more faboosh location, the Marriot of course! The next day we saw the Eiffel Tower, which my cousin loved besides the long ass line, did a boat ride and ate tons of French food. The Louvre was a bit of a disaster with a 7 year old. It’s probably not the best idea for little kids, it was temper tantrum inducing. She adored Luxembourg gardens where we played with mini sailboats in the fountain. I totes had a creepy stalker by the gardens though! He followed me from MacDo (McDonalds) to the gardens and wouldn’t leave me alone, so not fab! We also saw Notre Dame, which my cousin and aunt LOVED! Of course we shopped like mad women on the Champs Elysée. We tried to have a princess breakfast at Ladurée but the inside burned down in a fire last year L. We still went to town on macaroons and went to a fair in front of the Louvre. Of course I visited Spankys! It was not the same without Justin but still fierce! Gay boys in their boxers, bras and fab cocktails! The next day we went to Versailles, still fierce as usual but chock full of cray cray Asian tourists! Next we were off to Angers! Much better pace for my aunt and cousin, I’m pretty sure they were tired of the smelly metro haha. In Angers we shopped (of course!) and went to their botanical garden theme park. Besides the food, my cousin liked Angers quite a bit and my aunt of course loved it. That weekend we went to Bordeaux. Another interesting adventure. We bought tickets last minute and of course it was a train with reserved seats but we did not have reserved seats. We had to sit with Elizabeth on our laps on a cramped train for 2 freakin hours! We learned our lesson on that! As our train was coming into Bordeaux, it legit looked like only farmland, my aunt was beginning to think we would have to ride cows into town. We finally got the train station, which was covered in graffiti and we exited out of the wrong door of the station. We came outside to find large groups of the sketchiest looking French people ever. I was totes freaking out, I thought shizz what did I get my family into again! We finally got a taxi and were driving to the “Golden Triangle” where our hotel was. Well that drive was jenk as heck! All I saw on the streets were turban stores, aftro hair stores and loads of sketch people on the street. I was def nervous for this one. Then all of a sudden we hit the golden triangle and holly molly it was beautiful!! Bordeaux is stunning, so go if you can! That night I tried to eat steak tartar not knowing it was raw, yeah HECK NO! I though I was going to die and my aunt devoured hers! We unfortunately did not get to go on our wine tour L but we toured the stunning city. They have a famous infinity/pool fountain that reflects the palace of Bordeaux and will fill with water and mist. People are actually able to play in them and the pics are incredible. We played a ton in the fountain; it was our favorite part! The wine was amazing! We def got a little tipsy one night haha. We also had the best freaking dinner ever; it was a restaurant with this bomb sauce. It was like a drug, I was addicted! I had a faboosh time with my aunt and cousin. They loved Bordeaux and seemed to enjoy France. This week I’ve had school. I’m placed in the highest level but it is ridunk hard! Because this month is a new term, a lot of people from last month are gone L. I made so many good friends last month and loved my class; this month is just not the same. My teacher is young and intense. She is a little mean when I answer incorrectly and my class has a lot of pretentious and arrogant people. They actually roll their eyes when you answer incorrectly or laugh at you! There is a girl from my school who I didn’t know would be here and she is straight up mean! A total betch! She makes fun of people in class and says mean things about people. It’s def a harder month; it has me a little bummed. The vibe last month was so much fun and everyone was so nice! This month is very different. I’m just going to muddle through! Tonight we had faboosh cocktails on a rooftop overlooking the river and castle! Friday I am off to London!! I can’t wait!! I need a break after this brutal week of class and mean people haha! Well I miss you all tons and will try and post pics soon! My Internet still barely works! BISOUS! J
