Suprisingly enough, the 3 things I miss the most:
- My own fast computer with FireFox and an ENGLISH keyboard.
- Starbucks’ Chai Latte* or my beloved Tall Iced Passion Tea!
- The all CANADIAN full breakfast with EGGS + Sasuages + Fries + Toasts
*(okay, I am not going to be picky for a Soy Chai)
I adore the french food, but after having soo much fine food and fine wine, I just want something simple. I paid up to 16 Euros on Sunday morning just to have eggs for breakfast. It’s a bit difficult to just have a baugette/toast and jam in the morning. I guess I am more Canadian than I though I am. The Iced Tea I ordered was so small that I can finish the drink in 20 seconds. I am very thirsy as I type right now. But I can “only” get Fanta and Oranagina but NOT an ICED Passion Tea!
The internet is another thing I wasn’t expected. Don’t get me wrong, the internet speed is fast here. But you need to line up for like 30 minutes to this “best” internet cafe near the train station. Best is because this computer is using XP not Windows 98 and the graphic card is fast enough that there’s no ghost effect when I drag the windows. When I was in Toulouse’s computer shop, I almost wanted to buy the white MacBook to get over with this line up. Man, everyday is like that!
Enough of rant. Other than the 3, I really enjoy the school. And I found out recently that I was assigned to the most advanced class in the french school. Everyday in class, we were debating and discussing many philoshipical topics like
- “Whether there should be a search for the best gene in the world?”
- “What do you think the world should be like in the future?”
- “What are your sentiments on the future revolution at your own country?”
All of these are in french and it was a superb mental exercise for myself!
