Today our teacher told us to meet for class at a cafe in the 11th arrondissement because our discussion topic was the 'French Method of Integration' and the 11th arrondissement is probably the only quartier where 'French' and 'immigrants' mix a lot and live together (others are very much one or the other). We all ordered cafés (espressos) and sat around talking, lots of fun.
We then went walking through the Marché d'Aligre, one of the most typically French markets, with amazing cheese, meat, fruit and vegetables.
I also made the most incredible discovery.... A KILO OF LYCHEES FOR 1 EURO!!!!
Not even kidding, I bought half a kilo for 50 cents and they are delicious and all the other fruit and veggies are also very cheap.
We then went back to lunch at the sushi place which is just around the corner.
In the evening we went for a drink in this really cool warehouse/bar in the 20th arrondissement called La Bellevilloise, but decided that it was probably a better place to go for an actual meal, so we headed to Rue Oberkampf, which was absolutely buzzing! After seeing the line for the one club we ended up going to 'Favela Chic', where everyone was going crazy, drinking cocktails and dancing on the tables!
We got home at 4:30 so I fell asleep in a millisecond and definitely enjoyed my semi-sleep-in today!
