The last week for sequence 1
Wednesday, April 11, 2007
Went to this place called Provins on Sat, 31 March. I was supposed to meet my frens at 11 plus but because of those idiotic French officers telling me all the different things, including some stations and some trains that are not supposed to exist or operate, I could only reach there at 3 plus. Damn them. They really often don't know what they do. Like when I bought the ticket, I said, can I have the youth ticket from zone 1 to 8 please. The lady there said, no, we don't have it. Then I told her u shud have it. The she checked in the comp, found it and said, 'voila, we do have it' Haiz....Provins is pretty far from Paris, abt 1 hr plus from Paris. It's a hidden Medieval City. Quite interesting, but coz I reached very late, we didn't manage to finish the whole city. And I ended up missing my last bus again. But this time, I dared myself asking my kind neighbour to help pick me up at the nearby train station. It's a good thing I got him coz that day was super cold, I wouldn't make it back home alone, at nite, in that weather. It was my own fault actually, I didn't check the weather for that day and just assumed the role of weatherman myself LOL. I thought since the last few days have been hot, it should be hot, too dat dae. So I didn't wear my coat that day and ended up shivering almost the whole day. Jiang Hao, being kind and nice and gentleman as he always has been, lent me his jacket. The funny thing is, Dingying also wore too little that day, so Jianghao lent another spare jacket he brought to her too and ended up wearing only one layer for himself. He's really so nice!
Chatted for a while with the neighbour who picked me up at the station afterwards. He's also another kind soul who's been helping me with quite a few things. He even asked me to msg him whenever I need a ride from the station. But of course I don't do that often.
The next day was another first sunday of the month. And so, free entrance to museums!! So we plus 2 other gals went to Picasso museum. I really gave up this time. I totally can't appreciate his kind of art. It's a relief I was not alone. The rest felt the same too. Jianghao closed the visit with his conclusion that Picasso likes to dismantle women's body. Me and Dingying laffed like mad when we heard that. But it was literally quite true. After that we went and visit a park, listened to some musical performances along the way. They were really good! Loved the outing!
From there we went to Jianghao's place. He cooked for us dinner, a damn good Chinese food dinner. We really had a feast, complete with the wine and honey beer which tasted horrible, at least to me. But the dinner was really really nice. It was really such a fun day, except that I missed the bus again, and I was embarrassed to ask my neighbour again to pick me up. So I just walked up the slope.
