In France 3

DINLINGDINGLING~~~~~when the clock rings one minutes, minh shut off it, all the things return to silence. If you want to take the shower first, it is a good time! After I take the shower, my other two roommates are still sleeping. If you open a book and reading, you will find all the things are sleeping, except you. And you become sleepy again. And now, all the things are sleeping…until all of us wake up
(again) at the same time. Taking a shower, dress up, get ready.

Every day we wake up….just like that.(above)

France is so beautiful. It is like a delicate artist. Maybe America is too far away from China, compared with America, France is much more close, and more alike my country. When I visit Paris, I really find a lot places like Shanghai. Someone must told you that sometimes when you are untouched with one thing, you may be able to resist your love, but when you touch it, even a little, all the memory will come out like flood. 

We have been to Albi, Toulouse, and another village Cordes. Cordes is a lovely village. The whole village is on the mountain. Along the road there are various stores. I told you~ there is beauty in France everywhere.

In such a beautiful place, every day is luxurious. Now we have only 9 days left. What is 9 days’ meaning? It is not only means over one week or less than a 10-day-circle. How we face it? How we use it? We are never able to stop the time, even Faust can’t.

I don’t know.

Today is July 15^th. Harry Potter is released both in British and America. Today is the due day of many homework. Christina leaves around 10 in the morning because of her friend’s wedding. At dinner we have paella(is this??). It is really delicious. Yami~! In our French class, we go to Nadin’s café, talking about our feeling of one month in France. At that time, I suddenly think of one French movie “Premier jour du reste de ta vie” (The First Day of the Rest of Your Life) I keep asking myself “if tomorrow will be disappeared, what is the meaning of your life?” How we create our “perfect day”?  When we are in France, every days seem normal, but after that many days, many months, and many years, these days will deeply kept in your mind. Your memory in France will become a wonderful album. Shouldn’t we treasure it? Then how we treasure it?

And the moon tonight is so round and nice. The yellow light covered the blue-green valley. Everything is quiet and romantic. Today will be gone soon, and after several hours we would welcome a completely new day (and my French final!) And also after several hours, I will back home :D Every time I think of this, I am so excited.~~~~~~~

Tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock we will have French final, and then…I think we are free. Just now I found many movies such as “Harry Potter” and “pirates of the Caribbean” em…I have my tomorrow’s plan.hehe…

I am a slow warm person. I have asked myself many questions. Although I can’t find the answers now, but one day I would find it, and be more powerful in mind. The blog is to be continued.

In France 2

“So-called life is, walking from one heavy fog to another.”---Written in the morning of my birthday.

We passed the first French quiz, we passed the mid-term, we went to Paris, unconsciously, we have been here nearly 20 days. In these 20 days, I was not here over 3days. Where did I go? Paris!

The biggest advantage of Europe is its beauty. So is Paris. We take the Europe train which is better than we expected. On the train our group are separated. The people sit around me are all strangers. There are two man side opposite to each other. One is young, one is old. One is casual, one is formal. They are so close but don’t see or talk with each other. The only common point is that both of them are using the white earphone. That is interesting. There is a man sits near me, he wants to talk, but the old lady is more interested in newspaper and I don’t know much french, so he ask another young lady to sit beside me. These two people begin to talk. Both of them like talking. I draw the profile picture of that young lady, when I finish it, she told me in English that the old lady wants me to draw her (actually the old lady didn’t say that :P) But I still want to add one old lady in my stretch book. That old lady is very willing to be drew, and also join their conversation. The environment is just like the beginning of a French movie, the only difference is that we are not meet again. Everybody goes to their destination and live on their life. And I, travelled nearly 8 hours, start my Paris story.

We arrive in Paris in the midnight. The wind in Paris is cool. As soon as we went out of the train station, we can see the light Eiffel Tower immediately.

The hotel is …not tiny, it is very tiny. But I don’t know why that I feel it is bigger and bigger when I am living in it, haha~ On the last day Drew, Christina and Maura they found a cheaper and more classic hotel to live in. The hotel seems named “Mary’s hotel”. To tell the truth, I like its name, hehehe~

Paris is the city covered by metro. During out trip, we spend about 20 euros to buy the 3-day unlimited traffic ticket, we can use it both in metro or bus. I think it is really beneficial. Also, you can ride bike which is also cheap.

When you are in Paris, the places you must not miss are certainly Louvre, Eiffel Tower, the Arch and Notre Dame. There must be other wonderful places, but we just went to these main places, of course, take metro!

I don’t want to repeat so many people’s word again that “Eiffel Tower is wonderful, Louvre is wonderful, the Arch is magnificent ….balabala….. But I want to tell you that these places are really deserve your visiting.  

I, Liona and Ben are one group. All of us are not the people who like to rush. So we enjoyed much nice scenery. We even also went to one of the free market. I didn’t find what I need, but liona bought two stuff. When we pass the business street, there is parade. And so many people stand beside the street. I see from the bottom to top, but my horizon never touches the street. I always think that I am not a short person. However, at that time, I joked to myself: Ok, let’s face it, je suis petite.

Three days pass so fast when we are enjoying Paris. I still can remember that we passed several streets to buy some food. I still can remember that we have picnic on the grass in front of the Tower. All these memory will not gone with the wind, they will stay in everyone’s mind.

In France 1

Today nearly all the classmates went to the chapel. I don’t want to move because my feet and knees get sun burnt, which makes me in pain; so I just stay near the window. Because the chapel is nearby, the music “Amazing Grace” came into my ear. If you were me, you would be also have a noble feeling, like the god really come beside you. 

France is a country with heavy religious atmosphere. For example, “vendredi” means Friday in French. Ancient Romans made Friday as Venus day, so nowadays the French people call Friday “Vendredi”.

I try to remember the days we have spent. We all feel that the day is so long; even in 10 p.m. you still can see outside like 6 p.m. But at the same time we also feel that the time flies.

Sunday we go kayak. The water sometimes like the mirror, clear and undisturbed; sometimes it like many horses, running in hasty, like Éowyn speaks to the water in order to protect Frodo in 《The Lord of the Ring》. At first, all the people are very excited. However, 13.8 kilometers are really a long distance, I found that my hands are more difficult to move. I look at the river; it reflects the sun shine, just like putting the golden pieces on the river. The mountain and houses are covered by the purple color. You would be mistaken you are in the mythology. I put my hands into the river, from the water, I can see myself. I seems heard <Reflection>.

Look at me /You may think you see who I really am /But you'll never know me /Ev'ry day /It's as if I play a part /Now I see /If I wear a mask I can fool the world /But I can not fool my heart /Who is that girl I see　 /Staring straight back at me /When will my reflection show /Who I am inside /I am now /In a world where I have to hide my heart /And what I believe in /But somehow /I will show the world What's inside my heart /And be loved for who I am

But…but…but, if you want to go kayak in summer, please make sure you bring sun screen, or you would like me, get seriously sun burnt!!

June 26^th

I really like this beautiful places…….except the insects.

Because of the super natural environment, there are many kinds of insects. There are flies, moths, and bees… And tonight in our room we found a baby bat! It is so weak that it falls down, and continues flying, and falls down. One girl tells another girl, and the girls in other rooms just come in our room. We try to take it out of the room, but also be afraid of it. Finally we catch it can throw it away, together with our trash bin. Of course, Emily and Minh go down stairs to pick up it.

If you think it is the end of the story, then you are wrong, because we find another baby bat in the hall way!

This time our heroine Doctor Clark comes and catches it successfully. She said that the bat is so small.

Maybe one day I would be as brave as Doctor Clark, catching a bat (probably other insects), and said: “Hey girls, it is just a piece of cake!”
