Weekend!!

Just when i thot i have to rot over the weekend with nothing to do, alejandra decided to throw a crepe party at her place on saturday nite! WOOTS!! haha and we didnt have to do anything cos all the cooking and preparations was done by martha, ale and andreas. It was really good to just eat warm crepes when its so cold outside.... fillings of nutella, jam and this caramel thingy that Luis made out of condense milk, honey and stuff. good shit man. Anything sweet makes me happy.

After, we tired playing UNO and it wasnt easy, to compromise on the rules, considering 5 different nationalities were playing. Like whether or not we can intercept, end with non-number card etc. And of cos the german guy (aka hitler) had to take over and take control. When i first threw more than one card down, all of them looked at me as if i was some kinda retard... like "wat the eff" look.... it was really funny.

We decided to go to the Artist Market beside the Soane river and the Museum of Beaux Arts the next morning. It was really cool to walk ard Vieux Lyon on the weekend cos everything seemed to slow down quite a bit. there wasnt as many pple and it was just a pretty sight. We chanced upon a food market and i saw those damn freaking roasted chickens again... i was this close to stealing one.... but still no sight of any stall selling chocolates. like good ones.... not supermarket types. dang.

Here are some photos of the artist market that we went to:

Damn pretty right? budden one of those wud cost as high as 1000euros... like erm, no thanks, i'll pass.

Went for lunch at a BOUCHON!!!! Like finally!!! its the name of a restaurant selling traditional Lyonnais food. I ordered andouillete, which is actually a sausage made out of the inerds of pig or cows... and i mean since i loved my kway chap, i think i'll be able to handle this. whahaha and it was actually quite good!! i had no idea what animal i was eating thou.... the plat came with aperitif, salad and desserts... all for 12.50euros which i thot was quite cheap!!

Tytti: "Bon appetit Bitches"

hahah she didnt actually say that but i think i relate to her the most cos she is 25 and i am the second oldest... she hates to wait for late pple cos she is finnish and yeah. she's really funny even without trying. So anyways, Andreas aka Hitler decided to change plans and not go to the museum. he wanted to go to the convergence of the Rhone and the Soane which he thought would be nice.... but of cos he has no idea. but most were ok with it, except me, Tytti and Isabela cos it was sorta our plan to go to the museum.

But anyways, we walked to the convergence, just at the tip of the Presq'ile (meaning "almost island").... here are some of the pics:

Can u see the moon??? Its 330pm!

The industrialized part of the city

Commerce de trade de something de Lyon, with pretty flower motifs and all

this is what i call art!

The view at the end of the walk

a lonesome train track

We finally reached around 1 1/2 hours later and actually the route there wasnt like spectacular, but its just nice to walk for abit and discover things like u dun normally see in town.

Ale, Luis and Martha on the tip

After we left the almost island, we headed for the tram to take us back to INSA... by now we were like far away from town and we had not idea we were in the dodgy area of Lyon.... we saw literally hundreds of caravans parked by the roadside and in some vans were lighted candles. At first i thot it was some prayer thingy that the nearby workers used budden suddenly i saw a black woman wearing nothing but bra and hot pants in one of those caravans....

and then i started seeing more of such women and i was like "OH MY GOD WE ARE IN THE FUCKING PROSTITUTE ZONE"..... but no of cos i didnt say that out loud.... it was more like a screaming in my head kinda thing. I thot it was a really BRILLIANT idea... to tell others that u are busy by lighting candles and to say u are "open" for business, literally if its not lit (or vice versa... its just our theory)... but it was quite exciting cos some of them saw used condoms on the floor... but of cos i was too distracted by the whole booby situation to notice what's on the floor..... (by the way i am not a pervert.... they werent even pretty. fat actually.... i was just quite amazed)

ok so that was my weekend. quite exciting i must say.... and today, i managed to finally (FINALLY) choose my modules, registering tmr. And i bought my 12/25 card which enables me to get discounts on all french train rides, bought my tickets on the 16th to Karlsruhe to find my bitch which i now call my "source" (cos he can freaking dl tv serials and movies!!), heading to Cologne for that weekend for a Karnaval thingy which i am quite excited and then moving back to his place for 4 more days!! so damn fucking excited to see familiar faces again!!! and i bought a Celio sweater for 15euros! Finally bought something during the winter sale. Would have bought a white turtle neck for the same price but i mean i was hesitating cos, i dun think i will ever need to wear a turtleneck in spore... but i look damn fine in it ta ma de. WHAHAHA. The agony of a poor, money-less student.
