Le Bonjourer (Part III)
Wow, I really didn't think I'd ever be writing about these guys again.Jess has a friend (seulement un ami?) living in Beijing at the moment and according to her last blog post there are lots of bonjourers there too. Unbelievable!!!
Please stay, just a little bit longer...
My friends in Paris are starting to buy one-way tickets home :(Please don't go!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROMA!!!
Rome was so much fun!!! We had a great time. It's such a beautiful city and the people are so so friendly. For me, highlights of our fabulous trip include:- The weather! Being in Europe when it's not the middle of winter in still such a novelty for me. On Sunday it was 27 degrees!
- Staying in one big hotel suite with all five of us, so much better than a hostel (though sharing one bathroom not so much)
- Having a bottle of champagne waiting for us in our room when we arrived
- Piazza Venezia - the first big landmark type thing we saw
- Hanging out on the Spanish Steps
- Friday night dinner and bar hopping/clubbing (even if we went home eariler than I wanted)
- The Colosseum!!! I LOVE it, I think it is my favourite thing in Rome
- Gelato. Need I say more
- Mass in the Pantheon
- Brunch on Sunday at this really lovely cafe, I only wish I'd eaten more
- The fact that Marina speaks fluent Italian, it made such a difference
And so so many other things....I think I could go on forever. It was one fantastic weekend. I still can't believe I live somewhere where it's possible to go to Rome (the Rome) for the weekend.
Petra, I hoped you liked your present as much as I did.... 
ROMA prossimamente!!!
I'm off to Rome tomorrow and I can't wait!!! I'm going for a long weekend with Petra, Aafke, Marina and Issa. The whole trip was planned as a surprise birthday present for Petra. I can't wait to party in Rome and walk all around town when it's not January and fucking freezing. Well that's really all I have to say...I'm going to Rome tomorrow!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!
Greatest T-Shirt Ever....
Jay-Z à Le Zenith
Saw Jay-Z live last week with Michelle and Aafke. We bought our tickets a couple months ago and were really excited about the concert, in fact Michelle purposely made her trip coincide with it. It was pretty good but it really reminded me of when I saw James Brown last summer; not really the greatest concert in the world but I knew I was really seeing a really amazing talent and that it would probably be the only opportunity I would have to see them. Strange seeing an english speaking artist with a non-english (or not fantastic english) speaking crowd, there wasn't that much crowd interaction and he spoke quite fast with quite a bit of slang so I'm pretty sure that they couldn't understand that much. All in all it was a good night out but it really does reinforce just how amazingly fantastic Kanye West was in Sydney. I can't believe Georg gets to see him again in a couple months, I'm so so jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
