Bonjour!
After hours and hours of travel I finally made it to Toulouse! The three U of I people, Zach, Cathy, and Sarah are all really nice and the French people who picked us up from the airport have been extremely helpful with getting us all situated and giving us food and everything. Sarah and Cathy are the floor above me, and Zach is in another part of the building. I have 6 other roommates, but I have only met the two Hong Kong students. There is apparently a guy named Victor who lives next to me, but he has been MIA so far. One of the French guys Mikael who studied at U of I for a little bit has been very helpful explaining to us how to get down town, and he even offered to let us sleep over at his house if we got lost...(sketchy, thanks but no thanks?) We tried to wander around last night once we got settled in, but everything was closed. Even the McDonalds! haha so we just wandered back to our dorms and ate whatever food we had here, showered and went to bed. Today we all met around 11 and took the tram and then metra to the down town area and grabbed lunch. I got a salad that had fresh mozarella, parmesan, roasted red peppers, and zuchini. It was really good cause everything is so fresh here! All the shops were closed because its Sunday, but we saw some cute fountains and a carousel. After that we found the metra to get back to our apartments because we were pretty exhausted from walking around. Tonight we have a pizza party, and it'll be nice to meet everyone else in our program!
