Little events

Hello,

I have been very bad at updating this regularly recently. I am very busy finishing up my final paper, preparing for exams, and booking tickets to travel!

This past week had a few neat suprises. I went to an Asian Food party last night, and a Japanese girl from my Asian cinema course was like: "I brought you manga! It has Jesus in it", since she knew I went to church. The manga, which she translated for me was about Jesus and Buddah who were roomates going on vacation. It was comedic, but we didnt read it all, since it was a long book. Interesting, and made my day. Also, another girl brought me dried seaweed :). She found it in the Asian area for 80centimes, whereas at Monoprix 7 sheets of seaweed is 11 euros! Way unaffordable.

This morning I decided I would venture to Hillsong Paris, to check it out. But, it was cancelled today. There were a lot of people who showed up though, who had not received the memo. It was ok though, we had coffee instead. I was happy, becuase the guy telling us the unfortunate news noticed my new boots. :)

I bought boots at Gallarie Lafayette 2 days ago on Solde. They are real leather, but I have not broken them in yet, and have gotten some blisters now... hopefully that will not persist.

After the coffee I went to my friends house. She was supposed to come to Church with me, but had fallen back asleep after I called her. She was lucky to not have made the trek I suppose. She is the girl I will be traveling to Morocco with, along with another Canadian girl, and a guy from the Netherlands. It should be a nice trip, but we still haven't bought our tickets! That is on todays to-do list.

I feel bad leaving Paris so much, next Friday I will leave to Annecy, and then go to Switzerland to visite family. On the other hand, I am happy to be able to profit from being in Europe and having everything so near. I have 1 week of courses left, 12 days off, 2 exams and then another 12 days off before Semester 2 starts. Meaning, I will hardly be here the entirety of February!

When I come back, it will nearly be March, and the 1st weekend I am going to Lille for sports training. As of Christmas, the time here has started to really fly! Anyways, before it flies too far, I need to finish my essay!

I LOVE Korean roast seaweed. But 7 sheets for 11 euros?! Outrageous. No wonder sushi is so expensive in Paris.

Perhaps when you return home to Burnaby, you cousin Alec can introduce you to some seaweed that he has been picking up on the beach. he claims that it is quite delicious.
In China I saw young children and babies chewing on 'seaweed leather' line fruit leather but made of seaweed.
Yummm..........
