Arriving in Paris Pt. 2
then on the Sunday Mum came to visit which was really great cause I'd missed her loads (and everyone else at home) and going around Paris is much more fun when someone's with you.
We went to the Sacré Couer and Montmartre which was lovely and had great views of Paris, went for a crepe :), Opened my French bank account and went to a really cool bar in Nation (la cannon de la Nation- I highly recommend it!)
The next day we planned to go to the Musée D'orsay, mainly to go in the cool café bit at the end but the queue was really big so we just milled around and then went to check out this really cool Japanese pagoda-styled cinema which looks amazing! will definitely have to go and see a film there sometime :)
Then we walked up to the Latin quarter and had an delicious 3 course meal (and unbelievably I actually finished the courses! thought I was going to die afterwards!) we came back to the apartment and watched Jeux D'enfants, such a wierd/cute film :)
This morning Mum headed back to Jolly old England and I had my first day of work at Screenrush! I was really nervous but everyone was really nice and my boss is really cool. there was another stagiere who started too and she was really nice. We got started on work pretty much straight away and started writing up news stories. then we earned how to upload to them to the site and I got my first one uploaded :D here it is below if anyone wants a read:
Our boss also treated us to lunch which was really nice, we ate in this really nice restaurant opposite Cartier. Thank god we get restaurant vouchers cause loads of the places around the Champs Elysées are really expensive!
...and that pretty much brings us up to date really, hope you're enjoying reading this! i'll try and update again soon
-And on a side not well done to my cousins Becky and Matt, Becky for getting into uni and Matt for his excellent GCSE results :D well done guys!
