Yeap. I knew that I’d still stay up. Another book I have been reading (there are about 50 books on my bed to keep me company at night) is Le Petit Prince. I would read an excerpt from it too but I don’t want to butcher up such a beautiful language with my horrid English accent.
Ps. Thanks for the stories & kind comments ;D I am very very flattered. Before today the only words ever used to describe my voice are: crusty, manly, and crusty. LOL so you can imagine my surprise to sexy! ;D
Will probably remove in the morning, enjoy haha.
Word of the week:
akin [uh-kin]
- of kin; related by blood (usually used predicatively): cousins who were too closely akin for marriage.
- allied by nature; having the same properties: Something akin to vertigo was troubling her.
- having or showing an affinity; kindred: They are emotionally but not intellectually akin.
Playing Taboo
- Chan: The word sounds like the name of an animal
- Me: MOO?!
- Everyone: ...
- Yep. I am a genius!
I had a dream that I was back in France.
It was amazing, I was so happy. But then I woke up. ;(
Unpacking.
For real this time, I am not allowed to shop anymore!
… Except maybe shoes. And maybe accessories.
But no more clothes!
Venice:
Going to one of the most romantic places with a friend is funny. But despite that it was a blast. The city is even more beautiful than I expected. I constantly felt like I was on a movie set or in make believe land. We stayed at this charming B&B just outside the city. The owners of the B&B were such kind people. I found that the food outside the city was a lot better & cheaper than the tourist areas (no really). The beautiful weather in Venice was a welcomed change from Paris & London.
- Stranded without money for one day
- Met a mask maker who showed us around
- Met a lot of cool people who stayed at the B&B with us
- Ate delicious mussels
- Bought soo many bags (as if I needed anymore!)
- Relaxed & enjoyed the beautiful weather
Paris:
It’s quite odd how much a European city made me miss Vietnam, I found a strange resemblance. I am definitely in love, despite the not so clean state of the streets & some safety issues I don’t care. I had an amazing time there & cannot wait to return.
1. Stayed at such a nice hostel, made friends with a receptionist
2. Found ourselves a “usual” cafe/restaurant, made friends with the owners
3. Let’s just say we made a lot of friends in Paris
4. Saw Nadia!
5. Disney Land
6. Bumped into a friend who studies at OCAD randomly on the street
7. Had a fleeting romance ;)
8. Night tours, fancy dinners & the Moulin Rouge
9. Complimented at least once a day by strangers in the street (heck yeah ego boost haha)
Honey…
I’m home! I got in yesterday & was so exhausted I fell asleep around 8 & woke up the next morning! I have to admit, I miss Europe already. I apologize in advance but the next little while I will be posting a lot of stories from my amazing trip (common, can you really blame me?). So prepare ;)
But here’s some quick recap posts:
London: I’ve definitely developed strong feelings for this place, unfortunately they’re not necessarily positive in nature. Despite the beauty that was the city I was shocked at some of the things I’ve experienced & witness there. 
- Saw Jimmy!
- Stayed in a hostel with 8 other people
- Got into a big dispute with some dudes on a bus
- Went to a cool Swish & Pout clothing exchange event
- Really awesome street markets
- Missed flight from London to Paris
- Sight seeing in the A.M.
