Chez Moi

I am living in a central suburb in Paris called Malakoff. I literally cross the street and I am in the 14th arrondissement. I live with Madame (her name is Denise) and another student from UCIrvine named Roxana- she is awesome!!! Our house is three stories with 2 salles de bains (bathrooms), 3 toilettes, 6 rooms and a beautiful little garden!!! In Paris, that is a mansion! We lucked out BIG time! Madame is a little (short and petite) older woman probably in her 60s and she doesn't speak any English. She is very, very nice and such an amazing cook... we have 5 course meals every night for dinner! Can you imagine that?!?! She takes on boarders, so we have met people from all over the world already. This is a picture of Roxana, Colleen and me at the top of La Tour Eiffel

There is a girl there now named Katherine who is from Germany, we met a whole family of Italians, and a man from Algeria is coming to stay with us until he finds an apartment of his own. What a great experience! We eat breakfast and dinner there everyday in a little room with fireplace and big windows that over look the garden. Life here is very different than home life in the US and it takes some getting used to, but it's a lot of fun! Pictures to follow! xoxoxoxo
