Sep 2- Sep 5

Sep 2
I had my first breakfast in Seminaire des Carmes, crispy baguette, chocolate and hazelnut paste, milk, orange juice. It is simple but filling. According to the student here, the menu is almost the same every day, but since I really like baguette, this will not be a problem for me. We had a review of press in the afternoon. Obviously I was not well-prepared enough so I stammered and hesitated a lot.

The sunshine was nice, and I had a picnic with other international students at Jardin Luxembourg. Sitting on the grass, eating and talking was really nice. Then Patrick showed us around the Quatier Latin. During my way back I had kind of intellectual conversation with Lukas, a German classmate, about moral and education. I had Kehbad as dinner with other Taiwanese friends, which may be the best meal I had so far.

Sep 4
The last class for methodology and French class during welcome program. It is a little bit sad because I may not be in the same class with them during the semester, but some of us went together to the Quatier Latin for Kehbab after the boat-trip on Seine. The late dinner made a perfect ending for the day.

Sep 5
In the morning I met my netfriend Julien, a Chinese born in France at Renne station. We visted Musee d'Orsay and then had lunch at Hippotomus, a French chain restaurant. After lunch we looked around the Pombidou center and the street perfomers. At 15h30 I arrived at the Mande park. Featuring all the natural forest and meadows, with the beautiful sunshine, it made the best picnic destination. The only disavantage is there is no toilet around, only within the shrubs.
