Il NEIGE!

 

Sorry for the poor quality of photograph, but as I've been out and about this

week whilst my resident photographer has been working, I have learnt a few

things. 

1. Christmas trees in Europe are never fake. They are always real, and huge at

that. However, they don't seem to smell the same or nearly as good as the real

ones at home do...Maybe I am just subconsciously homesick at Christmas time?

2. Aussies who aren't accustomed to walking to uni in the snow should learn to

dress appropriately, otherwise one day frolicking will have you bedridden with the

flu.

 Paris has record snowfalls on Wednesday which pretty much plunged the

whole city in chaos, with trains and buses canceled, intense traffic and office

workers stuck in buildings unable to get home.

I enjoyed the snow for a while, did some Christmas shopping in an awesome little
boutique near Canal st Martin, and then cuddled a hot chocolate at La

Cafetotheque with some lovely company.

It looks like Paris is on track for a White Christmas!
