Oct 16

A good friend of mine told me that he got a scholarship of 600€ per month. I am really happy for him but at the same time feeling kind of self-pity. Actually I did not get any scholaship before coming to Paris, so I cannot lead a life like most other exchange students, who travelled a lot and do not have to worry about money as much as I do. Also, I have been in Paris for two months but having much financial support except from my parents, who used their saving for many years to make me fulfull the dream to go abroad. But after reflecting on his example, maybe I should create opportunity for myself. Maybe it will be a good chance to motivate me to get more challenges and adventures.

Later that day I hanged out a bit with two Hongkong friends being exchange students in Copenhagen visited. I accompanied them in Pantheon, had a brief picnic, and took them along with Catherine to a Russian party held at Leysan and Kristina's apartment, which was pretty nice. Located at metro station Pigalle, a vivid districts with bars, adult shops and many performance venues, their appartment was easily recognised by the music and the talking sound from upstairs. I talked to many interesting people from different backgrounds about Iranian reformation, interstrait relations and so on. It was still very vivid after twelve, and it was two o'clock when I got back home but the night was awesome.
