Excerpt from a MSN conversation with my “twin” brother:

My brother asked:

  • “and what did you learn about yourself [on this trip to France]?”

I said:

  • you can’t plan too much in life…
  • life is full of unknowns and unknown might not be too mysterious. It can be meaningful, and can quickly be turned into a more manageable known fact.
  • Most importantly: I can make friends just about any where in the world, even with language barrier!
  • Photos speak for a 1000 words:
  • Jose and Monica at Pont du Gard from the region Galicia in Spain, bordering Portugal.

  • Mato at Barcelona from Milan

  • Yellowknife’s Karin from my class in Montpellier (right next to me)

  • German Hubert + my Host Family Mother: Marie Francin at Montpellier
