It has been raining and overcast for the past few days. But luckily, yesterday it held of for the two hours we needed it to. Yesterday was another strike for france. In Nantes there was a protest for the age of retirement to be changed. There were over 3 million people walking in the streets of Nantes, with Big banners, signs and flags protesting. and i was one of them! we walked around the streets for about an hour. it was really fun though, because i also had the chance to do a bit of sightseeing along the way. there were so many people there though. I saw the Mayor of Nantes again. People were either for or against Mr. Sarkozy (President) or Jean-Mark Ayrault (Mayor of Nantes)
then today, we had a nice aussie brekky, of bacon, eggs and sausages on toast. its so much different to what french people have. there breakfasts are with suger. lots of nutella, croissants, bread, etc. then after that, me noel and sarah went to see a movie called 'AO La Dernier Neanderthal' (AO, The Last Neanderthal). It was actually a french movie, and obviously they spoke in french, but i could actually undertand it. i really liked it. Then after that we had maccas for lunch, and went to a art exhibition, and i also saw where noel and quentin work.
Im getting all ready for another week of school. ive got sport tomorrow, lets hope it stops raining, because im told its still on if it rains. Drenched, in 5 degrees. im not looking forward to it!!!
The pic below is of Sarah, with a statue thing, next to a pedestrian crossing. I thought it was so cool!!!
You make me laugh! You protestor you! Great photo of Sarah. I'm pleased to see you're teaching the French what a real breakfast should include. Let them know there's plenty more of that waiting for them in Australia when they visit. MP
ReplyDelete3 million people!!!!! That's unbelievable. That's like the entire population of Melbourne or 3/4 of the population of Sydney all marching at once. What age do they want to retire? Life is meant to be lived!!
