Aix en provence....avignon... apt... montpellier... many cities in many days!
it;s in the 50s here so the weather isnt too bad. my french is improving quickly (thought my accent is still quite strong). although i can distinguish sometimes the accent differences now between here and paris...
the architecture is different, very pretty. ill try to remember to take photos. i must admit that when i get carried away just enjoying things i forget to utilise my camera.
so far i havent seen many hipsters. i dont think they really exist that much here. although there are a few fluo kids. hmmm at the club le prive in avignon there were all these kids dancing le tektonik (which i hate) i felt like i was in mexico kinda. all these really wannabe fresa looking guys were around. i refused to dance with them. and the djs that night werent playing the best sets so it wasnt too awesome... but the night before in Aix en Provence (pronounced "ex on prove-ahnse") it was surreal! so cool. the djs played AWESOME sets. it was such a blast. really cold that night, though.... and when i left at 6 in the morning the club wasnt near closed! ridiculous. completely ridiculous.
oh: the secret to french skinny-ness: smaller portions, better food, more walking, and shitloads of cigarettes. seriously these people are like chiminey stacks (not all, but a lot).
the cheese here is to die for. completely different than in the US. even the chevre and camembert is different tasting. soooo creamy and good. and way cheaper. the wine too, good and very much cheaper.
hmm what else... they served me mayonnaise at mac-do (mcdonalds). ewwwww. gross. frenchies loove that mayo on their everything i swear.
later this week i return to paris. i have a couple meetings to go to, more networking to do and also a few fetes (parties) that i have been invited to. paris is wonderful. it doesnt have the speed of new york (which is breakneck) but it feels very much alive. so many things to discover. you can walk pretty much everywhere. the metro is 1.5 euros one way (though you can buy passes for the week or month which are cheaper)... oh and with phones here you are not charged when you receive calls or texts, only when you send them!
so far seen: jim morisson's grave, chopin's grave, cities in the south, all the famous monuments in paris...
to be seen still: the inside of museums. christian louboutin (shoe store), etc etc
so hopefully things go well in paris and i have better internet there than i did when i was there last week.
pics are up in an album on myspace. myspace.com/katyanimal. though there are like 5 on facebook as well.
