Hello!

Hi all!

Not much news. Saw the new Bond film on the weekend, very cool. Last night we celebrated "le Beaujolais nouveau" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaujolais_nouveau . There were fireworks but it sounded a lot more exciting than it actually was. It starts at midnight so we had a lovely walk home along the river to get back to INSA residence.

I met my coach for Jeunes Ambassadeurs last week. His name is Franck and he works in real estate as managing direct of a company, Diagonale http://www.diagonale.fr/. Really nice guy and very enthusiastic about the program. We're going to the Lyon flea market on Sunday before having lunch with his kids. I'm going on a 'cultural tour' of Lyon on Saturday and might head to the pub for some more culture and the all important "France VS Australia" rugby match (and no, I have never watched even 5 min of a game of rugby in my life, just getting into the spirit of things!). There's also a photo competition going on for JA <> is the theme, and over the year I have the opportunity to prepare a project, introducing my hometown to the "lyonnais" culture. I have a few ideas...

Hmmm...not much else to tell I think, am very tired from the long walk home at 2am last night and waterpolo this arvo. Going to bed.

Bonne nuit

Alex xoxo
