hey everyone i know i haven't put an entry in in a while but i've been busier the a squirel storing nuts! i don't know if i mentioned it yet but i am working now and the job is going pretty good. the food isn't the greatest but the staff are all around my age and are lots of fun. i had my first taste of the english football (soccer) parties a couple days ago it was pretty wild.

last week i found an apartment, it's 400? a month located in the quartier latino close too lots of great bars and martkets. i'm sharing with two girls from sweden both around my age. i found out about this place from someone i work with and it sounds like it's going to be a fun place to live, it's even got free laundy...at least i'm out of the hostel, it wasn't bad but a month is enough.

last week i also picked up a unicycle at the flea market. it took me about a day to get the hang of it but now i've been flying around everywhere. last night i rode up to Jim Morrisons grave... ithink it touched other people alot more then myself, people brought flowers and were crying and stuff. his grave is so popular that they actually have to have a security gard watching it.

on saturday i met a couple guys from winnipeg named dale and justin, we were up at sacre coeur having a few beers (sacre couer is a church ontop of the only mountain in paris. from up there you can see out over all of paris and it is really beautiful at night, at night it becomes a popular hang out for rowdy teenagers and while we were sittting there a drunk guy fooling around on his scooter wiped out, as he was standing there giving his head a shake another guy came otu of nowhere, jumped on his scooter and took off. the guy who owned the scooter was really pissed off and he was going around to everybody trying to find out who knew the guy thqt stole his scooter. we laughed our asses off! we were there until about 3:30 and the guy never did come back. it was a great time, for us anyway.

in a couple weeks i'm going to greese to meet up with my cousin michelle whos going to be there traveling with some friends from the 7th 'til the 10th of juin. i'll be arriving on the 6th and i'm staying 'til the 11th. i'm sure it's going to be a blast.

Pictures are comming soon! i've been snapping all kinds of them and hopefully can get them uploaded soon. once i moove into to my apartment hopefully i'll have some more time to get stuff done, the past week has just seemed really hectic.

talk to you all soon and thanks for all the emails if i haven't wrote you back yet be patient it's not that i don't like you, i've just been really busy and i'll get around to it soon enough.

found myself a J-O-B

hey everyone i know it's been a little while since my last entry but i have been pretty busy. i managed to find a job and now i'm continuing the nearly impossible search to find a place to live...i checked out another hostel last week that turned out too pretty much suck so i'm back at the fist one i was at.i haven't yet grown tired of the hostel but i am tired of not being able to make my one food, at least at work i can now eat pretty good. last week i went to the fair du rhone, i love that you can drink anywhere here (and cheap too 2.70? for a six pack of stella) so naturally we brought a 12 pack each to the fair and they had some pretty cool rides but the fun house after we were petty drunk proved to be the most fun. last week i also went to the salvador dali museum and the picasso museum (sober) they were both really interesting. i should be able to upload my pictures with in the next couple of weeks once these girls i met from halifax come back to paris they said i can have their outlet adapter which is pretty cool cause it saves me like 30?. Paris is still a blast but i really wish i had my bike, so if you know of anyone coming to france let me know because they can take it with them free on the plane and i'll meet them at the airport so they won't have to lug it around anywere. other then that life is pretty much the same here as it is there i suppose maybe a little frenchier but all is well!

these feet are not made for walking

i was talking to my toes on saturday and they`re pretty pissed off at how i`ve been walking all over them lately so i decided to give the little guys a break and rent a bike. i went down to a local bike shop where they sey me up with a sweet 3 speed girls bike complete with basket and bell. i spent the whole day riding around to all the diferent places you would find on post cards of paris. i went to the eifel tower, the louvre, this glass pyramide, l`arc de triomph, notre dame and a couple other places it was all pretty cool i guess but one day of doing all the tourist bullshit is more then enough, however i will be going back to the louvre because it`s free on the first of the month. the first two days i was here it was beutiful but today and yesterday it`s been a bit chilly. right now i`m at the SWAP office and i just finished typing up a french resume. once i find a job then i`ll start to look for an apartment. oh yeah did you notice thqt i finally figured out these french keyboads i`m not retarded but it was hard some keys have three characters on them figure that one out. well smell ya later

I think im in love

allo les canadiens i know ive only been here a day but i think i am really gonna like paris. believe it or not so far i have found parisienne people to be very polite and helpful. last night i met this guy named Ties from holland who is sorta doing the same thing as me, then i met this italian couple that are staying at the same hostel as myself and we went out for a couple drinks....oh and in case you where wondering yes the beer sucks, i think ill have too stick to stella or hieneken. I thought the beer was bad but it turns out the coffee is even worse, today im going to rent a bike and do some touring then this evening im meeting Ties and this girl julia from germany (who i met in the shower this morning, i love hostel life) and we are going to have an authentic parisiene picnic with wine, cheese and a bagette. you see people everywhere walking down the street eating bagette, so i tried it yesterday and for only half a euro had the best bagette of my life, iwas very impressed. oh and i hate these french keyboards i cant find the apostraphe.

what up all i finally have got my hostel booked! i'm staying at L'Auberge International des Jeunes on La rue Trousseau. You can look it up by clicking on the map link on the main page. smell ya later!
