Unexpected difficulties

Apr 28, 2011 02:00

1. Finding untranslated English-language books in Paris. I was pointed to a Smith`s on rue Rivoli, near place de la Concorde, which sounds promising. I was looking to buy George RR Martin`s original books for A song of Ice and Fire for my trip tomorrow (more like in 2.5 hours...), but I guess that`ll have to wait. Yes, I`m watching Game of Thrones ( Read more... )

reading, paris la jolie, destination: the great eurotrip of 2011

Oh betsy, you travel junkie you!! It's awesome, I'm glad you're having such an exciting time (albeit it sounds exhausting but what fun thing isn't, eh? ;p)!!!!!!

And boooo at early tix, man, our flights to/from Norway were at 6:30 AM, lol, epic fail. Those are hellish. Especially when you get there and the ticket counters don't open up until 6. :O
BUT YAY FOR COFFEE. ;D

I'm totally a junkie. *shakes head* I'm always exhausted and whiney and my skin is totally breaking out from all the moving/lack of sleep/horrible diet, but I AM SO HAPPY CAMEL. SO HAPPY. :D :D :D

Erm....I ended up missing that flight. Ahem. That's a story for another time?

Ahaha. You know, I could say the same to you. ARE YOU IN EUROPE. :P :P :P

Yes, Sean Bean! I'm not saying that he's getting typecast...but erm, he does play conflicted historical/fantasy noble hero very well?

The show is so much good fun! And a fantasy/medieval nerd's dream come true, lol. I was thinking of picking up the books because at the rate where the show is going, I'll have to wait YEARS before it gets anywhere. (Oh Internet-download, how you have spoiled me!)

Hey! Have you tried Shakespeare & Co.? It's almost an institution for english-language books in Paris, with a tradition of taking in young poets... very bohemian stuff. Plus, is a very nice and complete bookstore, and if I remember correctly, right in front of the river... check it out, and enjoy your trips, ok?
HUGS!

OOOOoooh, I totally forgot about them! Yes, I'll definitively check them out. Maybe they can take me in as a young...erm...something, too? Thanks!
