bon, bonne, et bonn

I just finished a great week 'n a half here in Europe. Ma soeur viens de me rendre visite pendant la semaine de mon anniversaire. And even if we don't get along 100% of the time it is always great to see her. I can't wait for my upcoming trip to Finland in three weeks. All that stands between me and Noel is a paper on San Fran at the turn of the century, a partial concerning France, Germany, and Europe, and some other langauge devoirs yet to be determined. I can't wait. I had a blast showing my sister around town. We went to museums, ate at our favorite creperie, went to a soccer game, and I showed her my school(s). We even made chili for my host familly, which they loved. My host mom demanded comment ca se fait?

Then I spent roughly 36 hours in between Bonn and Koln for the weekend hanging out with my sister and her friends. I was a nice break from Paris, and I think that I have realised that Paris is a bit too big for me. A european city of 300,000 sounds much better. My favorite part of Bonn was the Christmas market and the food. Ok, so that might be two favorite parts. I'm going to see if I can find some currywurst over here, even though I know it won't be as good.

Other great things included the Haribo store, the weirdish colors of the metro compared to the bathroom tile style of the Parisien system, the gluwien, cigarette vending machines, and being able to be sarcastic. Maybe even a little too much.

Paris also has some marches de Noel qui vont ouvrir dans les qui viennent. So I'm planning to go Christmas Market hopping all next month. There is even a Bio Market the weekend of the 12th.

We're throwing a mini Thanksgiving dinner chez mon ami Nat ce soir, so I should probably get ready for that...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
