Gare de Vaise

Hi again! Things have started to work out here really well now that the initial shock is gone and every day I miss Finland less and less. Today I got the pics my roommate has taken here so I thought I'd come and share them with you guys.

The first day. We got some food from the nearby store and ate it in a park. It was (well it still is) very warm.

These are our hoods. We usually walk to the metro station and this is very near it.

The roommates. First day in Lyon.

This is from the same first day.

This was taken the second day. Starbucks frappuccino au chocolat ♥ Way too good to be enjoyed daily.

Our first time out in Lyon on Thursday. That was fun!

... and coming home very happy after.

Yup some pretty normal behaviour at our residence.

On Friday we had school but we had a few hours' break in the middle of the day so we went to get some drinks. Our tutor fellows suggested that we try the local drink called pastisse. It was quite good actually!

Friday night (yesterday) was so awesome! We had our school's international students' welcome dinner that turned out to be quite a successful night out.

Roasted pig! That was scary...


Yesterday was so much fun! I got to talk to so many different people from so many different countries. Besides English, I got to speak French, Swedish and Spanish as well. It was so fun that I came home today around 2 p.m. still rather tipsy :D

Today we went to Part Dieu shopping center that consists of over 260 stores. That was insane. We ate some pretty bad pizza as well :D More about that tomorrow!
