France, the end

3 months ago, we arrived in France, ready to spend an amazingly long vacation and see everybody...
Well, it's now time to pack our suitcases for Australia, and we still haven't seen some of our friends. I can't believe how fast it went.
Jen left on the 15th, after a day visiting Versailles and another day in Paris. We went to the Mosquee de Paris, which was an amazing experience!
She will tell you more about it, I'm sure :)
It took us 3 hours to drive her to her hotel near the airport because they had closed the highway, with no explanation on where to go instead, which leaded us to downtown Sarcelles and Villetaneuse, the Anacostia of Paris, fantastic scenery especially at 2 AM.
Luckily, nothing bad happenned to us, JC just had another very short night.
We left Paris to go back to Vannes, the city where Laurent and I met 8 years ago. That was awesome, we visited our old appartments and campus.
On Laurent's old door, JC had put a sign saying "Hello Laurent", and it was still there!!! It's crazy to think that no student in 7 years took it off to put his own name.
We met with Mumu and Tony and had a very cool diner with them in Alexia's summer house. On the Saturday, we saw a bunch of other friends and we all went to Alexia and Javier's wedding. They actually got married in Spain 2 weeks ago, but came back to France to have another party with everybody that wasn't there.
It was fun, we made a song for both of them, and I played a game that did not work...that was pretty lame!
And on Sunday, we came back to my parent's place for a week; we celebrated their 29th anniversary. As of today, we still have to spend another 28 years and 10 months to beat them...
I was sick in bed for 2 days, but I'm felling much better now.
We left Brittany on Saturday to see Laurent's family in Tours and Chinon. We saw a bunch of cousins he hadn't seen in years, and spent a night with his grandma and parents.
Yesterday we arrived in Paris and FINALLY celebrated Laurent's birthday together. We had diner at l'Annapurna, a traditional indian restaurant with a cithar player. And at 11, we went to the "crazy horse", a cabaret show with naked women dancing, wahou!
It was a lot of fun, and Laurent was really surprised.
Today we are going to Gnougnaf's thesis that he finally finished.
We will spend the next week in Chablis, and look for our passport that Laurent's parents couldn't find...scarry.
We were able to phone to the vietnam ambassy today to see how we can get the visas, and will fax them the documents tomorrow.
This is getting really exciting!
We still have a bunch of stuff to get ready for Australia, but our friends Laurent and Pricillia that are leaving with us are as late as us, so it makes things less stressful.
Love,
Gochoun
