After fighting over the jetlag, my second day in Montpellier of this small very old town in the south of France was being very plesant. I took the TGV for the first time from Gare de Lyon, Paris to here for about 3 hours. The scenery along the way was like a dream, everywhere you look outside from the windows was like mountains covered with greens with a lot of farm fields.
The family I am stayed with is a very nice one. The dad is born in Quebec but speaks very little English and the mom who likes to argue a lot is a civil servant. I lived in a 17th century old apartment with the orginial fireplace and ceiling decoration. It’s like watching a french movie. The room I stayed in was the biggest bedroom I have lived in before. It’s about 150 square feet with a nice comfy double bed with a nice fireplace and desk. The ceiling is like 15+ feet high with an equally tall windows, with the old wood shutter outside.
Staying in this town only with 230,000 people, the advantage is that only a few people could speak english which is a perfect for me to learn my french. Suprisingly, my 2-year french is just sufficient for survival. I just need to explain things a few more time. The family I stayed with is fa-tas-tic! We had a 2-hour dinner last night but we talked for more than 1:45 hr. I went to the class for the first time today, classmates are super awesome. I managed to pass the test and I am taking my conversation and writing class.
