OK, I know that I am beginning to sound a little bit like a broken record but I do not want to leave France. I don't want to say goodbye to my friends, I do not want to leave behind France and all of it's great things like food, wine, and it's love of free times. Although it's true that all the French do things at the same time, the park on Sunday afternoon, vacation, lunch, etc. but it is a lovely place to live. I know that when I come back it will be different because all of the friends that I have made will not be here, but there is something about meeting people in a faraway place and the bonds that develop because of this.
Last night I questioned whether the friends I have made are especially extraordinary or if all of us have made great friends. While I know that everyone has made friends like us, I feel that my close group of friends are a rare find. Is it also strange that they are Australian? Australians are probably the most travelled group of people on the planet. I have heard that 1 in 3 Australians are born overseas, this is from Alex who's father works for the Australian government in some sort of International Relations position so I think that the figure is probably accurate. From what I have seen Australians are much more adaptive to foreign environments and I would like to spend a few months there soon. Perhaps next Summer in the States or when I graduate in December 2006. That way I can go Down Under in Summertime and come back to Summer here, or France more preferably.
Anywho, not a lot to post today, I went to a dinner last night at Alex's and helped fix a few of the dishes. Funny sidenote is that Alex, a vegetarian, purchased some pork chops to serve to the French guest. I made them since she did not have a clue as to how to prepare them. We sit down to the table and offer our guest one, she says no thankyou because she is a vegetarian as well! LOL, that was the icing on the cake for the unorganized night of preparation we had until then. Specially purchased meat for a Frenchie that ended up not being able to eat it. Priceless. Next I went to the Quebecoises house to have some drinks and see Anna who had just returned from New York City for a little travel there. It was nice to see everyone one last time before Maddy and Alex leave next week. I will be posting some funny pics of the girls that they took of themselves last night. As well as your's truly in bed with 4 lovely, beautiful ladies. It was the best sex I never had! Cheers to everyone and I will see you soon unless I get a better offer here first!

australia would be a great place to travel to (and new zealand). i met an aussie in ireland who was a sweet girl, only in her very early 20s and could easily drink more then the old irish men at the pubs. it was very amusing.
remember how i would always hassle you to go to krakow? its because i have a deep love of the city. you will probably always be in love with france, which is totally ok. and hopefully one day you will move back there, or perhaps move to a different location. until then, enjoy the little time that you do have left and attempt at not dreading coming back too much. see this as a short period of time of finishing up your degree and spending time with family.
Yeah, but it's difficult because I do not want to leave in the least way. I was thinking even more about it tonight and I totally want to stay here for awhile, but that is life I guess and I just have to deal with it for the time being.
