arriving in Paris

Paris is one of the cities that I have always wanted to visit. I also wanted to go anywhere in Africa, because I miss home so much and any where in Africa will do. After much calculations I picked Paris. I started planing for it last semester and getting the visa was the scariest part of the process. I am here now so it doesn't matter.

When I arrived at Charles De Gaulle airport, I thought OMG did I get on the wrong plane to Arcata (LOL) because it was so foggy. I feel right at home because it was foggy and it had rain earlier . This airport is about 30 mins from the city. Since a group of us were arriving at the same time, were transported to our separate housing. Luckily one of my roommate was with me and offcourse we had to use the restroom really bad or else pee on ourselves LOL. So in France there is this sink called the Bidet where you wash your genitals in the bathroom. So there is a regular sink, a bath/shower and a Bidet. The toilet is in a separate room in the apartment. We had to go so bad that we completely ignore the sign that says: This is not a toilet. It was so funny when we found the toilet later. we live in a two bedroom apartment in the 13 district. Our bedroom are painted bright hot pink.

Everything is small in paris, I mean everything, ok ok maybe not everything. I will elaborate on this later. Later that evening, we went out for a cocktail and then to dinner. I had a Kaba in the Jewish quarter. Ohh those things are so good. (the first pix on the left)
