On Friday I had two French classes, all good and nothing too exciting (more on socialism, surprise surprise). Then because it is Chinese New Year over the weekend a few of us decided to go to Chinatown for dinner. We found a place called 'Hao Hao' which ended up being delicious, we had caramelised seafood, rice, stir fry and wontons. They also had an Asian McDonalds just up the road which was pretty funny, and lots of lanterns hung all over the streets.
After dinner we went to a housewarming for four Australians who have found the most ridiculous apartment ever. It's on Place de la République and the entrance hall alone is bigger than my entire apartment. Lots of the other exchange students I know were there so it was a great night.
On Saturday I actually went to the library and did some work, and then went home to prepare for my 'Wine Degustation'. Hillary, Zoe and I went to this amazing cellar just behind the Louvre and over two hours the sommelier taught us all about the wine regions of France, how to taste the wine, what the scents and colours mean, what foods to serve them with etc. etc. It was really interesting, although by the end I was struggling to keep up.
We then went back to Zoe's for a quick dinner and headed over to my French friend Marina's birthday drinks. They were at her boyfriend's apartment, which looks right over the Eiffel Tower. We eventually headed out to Rue Princesse, where there are tons of pubs and bars, and even better it is literally just off my street. We tried a few places, but everywhere was so crowded and it was too hard to dance so I headed home around 1. Sleep time.
