(no subject)
My host sister had a fencing competition in Avignon this weekend, so my family thought it'd be a good opportunity to do some touristy things with me there.
I think you know the song: "Sur le pont d'Avignon, l'on y danse, l'on y danse..."
But then again, maybe not.
I'm flying, Jack.
Cute little town.
The centre ville had a really neat ambiance; street performers and whatnot, all Mideival themed.
And um, I had 12 canes balanced on me. And found out that my own balance sucks.
The thing is, I think I've become too... french. Like, old chateaux and bridges are completely normal to me now, and the history behind everything just kinda fades together into one boring mass. I couldn't help thinking, "waste of time and money."
Another way the french are influencing me: medicine. I've got a really bad cold, and I can't even tell you how much medicine I've taken. And how much I'm exaggerating it. This may be just a stereotype I'm making, but it seems to be true for almost everyone here. Had a runny nose for three days? Oh, you need to go to the doctor. Sore throat? Take these pills and this syrup and these lozenges. Nonono. I don't DO that. I take some Ibuprofen and let sickness take its course. And I don't complain about it.
Please don't hate me when I get back.
