edit: looks like our friend just removed his message… 🙄

Whereabout are you going in France? Any chance we can catch up in Paris?

On my side not much news either.

Actually yes there is news. I’m changing jobs in a month or two. I’ll still be in in paris though.

And we’re getting things ready for our wedding…

🙂 Hi guys, i haven’t been posting lately as I haven’t had internet for the last two weeks. Been busy trying to sell the house as well and the weather being pretty nice ive been outside more than in so …

Anyway, hope everyone is well. My folks will be arriving from NZ in less than a month. Yippee!!!

Bon Voyage to all those leaving for oz soon. 😛

Hi Tadpole, Effisk, Oz Boy & others.

Not much to report here either, it’s research, research, research here, finalising the little details and bookings for my 1 month trip around France……takeoff is in 3 weeks and 1 day now, and I can’t wait to see France again after so long. 😀

Kate

True, its a very tiring trip but just think once your there you can relax by the pool, go snorkeling in the crystal clear waters, take late afternoon strolls on the beach (to pick up all the gals!!), drink a cool beer with a friendly crowd in a pub … etc etc. Ah shit, im making myself home sick again!!!

I really think your better off going up north, much better than sydney.

Hi Oz Boy, Cairns should be a great atmosphere to learn English in….. and you’re right, much warmer than Sydney. Just don’t expect to see a beach at Cairns (more like mangroves and a big man made pool with sandy bottom) – you have to drive quite some way out of Cairns to see a beach. It’s a very lively town at night.

Happy planning!
Kate

Well here I was ready to come and apologize for not writing in the last month and surprise surprise, mine is the last post anyway!!

Oz boy, you should be leaving pretty soon?? Getting excited.
Kate, arent you supposed to be coming over to France soon too??

My folks are here from Auckland so ive been busy catching up and sunbathing in my yard (not the same bloody thing as the beach).

Who has been watching the world cup and the georgeous socceroos?? I think they are doing pretty well! Good on em. Cant wait for the rugby world cup here in France next year!! I hope someone will organize something for a couple of the matches, otherwise I’ll have to have all you yobbos over at my house for nibbles and beer! 🙄

anyway, keep in touch all you english topic folks.

Hello Sara and welcome to the english topic. Here are all you frenchies buggering off to OZ and im an oz in france who cant even find the time or money to go home. 🙁 NO FAIR!!

Hi Everybody,

I’ve just flown back in this morning, so half of me is here, and the rest is on jetlag, don’t really know where I am with only 1 hour of sleep.

Quite a lot of adventures during our 5 week ‘tour de france’ – mostly by train (most of them good, with 2 exceptions, but my carnet de voyage will soon tell all).
I’m still a francophile though despite having my wallet & cards stolen last Monday on the Paris metro, just 2 days before we were due to fly home….then on the metro on the way to the airport for Vietnam on Wednesday, somebody else decided to have a try for my backpack this time, but there was nothing in the pocket they managed to open when they bumped into me in the crowd, so at least I won that one. 😕

Back online tomorrow if I’m over the jetlag.

_ Kate, happy to ‘see’ you all again now I’m back online (found it very hard to find internet cafes in France on our travels…..they’re not everywhere like they are here, surprise. )

PS: Welcome to Sarah and Marie too.

Ok, dunno if I’ll get to catch up with you then! You’ll love Bordeaux, it is a great place to live, much better than Orleans 😆

On another forum, Sylviedu75 posted a link of Oz students’forum, you might like to have a look 😉

Cheers!
Buell

Well, well, well!! I guess everyone is on holidays, soaking up the sun!!

Kate, hope you got home Ok from your long trip and your not suffering from jet lag!!?? God, that is what i hate the most about travelling!!

Well, no holidays for me this summer, we arent going anywhere until end of september and we are going to ireland so no « sun filled » hols for me either I guess. Still, never been there, should be a nice change eh?

Yeh, true Kate. I dont get homesick when I remember how freezing I used to be in winter in Melbourne. I hated getting up in the morning to go to school and I mostly remember puffing up my clothes with hot air over the duct heating before putting them on!! 🙂

Then the sticking hot summers and the water restrictions.
The thing I loved the most was the Moomba parade every year with family and freinds. Do they still have that Kate??

Why change it?? The Melbourne Moomba sounded quite neat eh?

Anyway, mum and dad have gone … feeling a bit lonely. Cant wait now for our holidays in september to ireland. Nothing like a bit of beer and musique to cheer you up!!

Hiya Hiedi!!

Lucky you living in the one place in france id love to live, toulose. The good weather, the neat lively town and the sexy stade toulousain rugbymen!! how i envy you!!

Yeh, im pretty sure ill love ireland, so far even the phone contact for reserving bed and breakfasts has been really warm, calling me by my first name, cant wait to meet you etc!!

anyway, hope to see you more here on the english topic, it is quite often down the bottom of the forum list or on page two!! gotta keep it up the top eh? 😮
