midnight in toulouse

midnight in paris toulouse.

So as I mentioned before, on New Years eve we went to Toulouse for a nuit blanche, which I couldn't quite believe I was doing, but it turned out to be pretty great. Nothing could be bad about champagne at Place du Capitole and chatting in French with a guy you met right before midnight who is trying to charm you (and succeeding) saying things like, tu sais, je danse très bien... and, tu dois me rendre visite à Paris... and, at midnight, normalement j'aurais un peu de gui dans ma main, et tu devrais m'embrasser...


We ran into an assistant from Canada who we'd met at the stage d'acceuil, and he seemed to know everything about everything, but he kept saying "pardon my ignorance" as a preface to whatever random fact he was about to enlighten us with. Pardon my ignorance, but I believe Charleston has survived the most natural disasters of any city in history. Ah bon?

Also, I figured out how to type in proper French on this thing, and the way I do that is by switching my keyboard to a French keyboard, which makes me type about a hundred times slower (I type reeeeally fast normally) but I think it's good for me to practice typing on one anyway. The thing that annoys me the most about it is that you have to press shift to type a period. Whose idea was that anyway?
