I’M IN LOVE! … or getting to know some… french stuff:)

you know where there are some places, where you instantly feel like at home…right now we are in ajaccio (ahhh, i love the pronounciation of this word), and this is it for me! i’m in love. :) i love the cosy streets full of people, sun and beautiful beaches, fresh air through the window, when i wake up in the morning - this city simply gives me its special vibe…couple of months ago i talk to somebody about visiting corsica and checking if it is a potencial place to live here - you know how i love islands and now i can confirm: jp, definitely i could, at least for a while! ;)

anyways, people are really nice here. i heard lots of not so nice stories about french people, but it definitely does not apply to corsicans (or french living here:)). they are really open and helpfull and they all speak english (with their typical french accent of course). i’m starting to like this language a lot (what a change:)). maybe i’ll even go and learn it!:) i already picked up some words - first the most esential one for me: du the avec du lait, and then typical greetings and thx of course.   

julien, the guy we are staying with, is great too. the first night we had really nice time with good conversation over couple of bottles of vine. he is an oenolog, so we had the oportunity to try one vine, which is grown only in one particular region of corsica - domaine du mont saint-jean. it’s called aleatico. he’s also a bit of musician and we made a deal to do some music together:) i’ll provide some lyrics and he’ll take care of the melodies - i think it will be a nice project with lots of fun:) (…i’ll definitely let you know, when we become famous!:))  

yesterday i cooked dinner - it’s quite amusing to go to the store and not know what are you buying:) prices here are not so nice. supposingly they are even higher than on the continental france! but at the end everything turned out great and everybody liked the dinner even with some weird ingredians.:) 

today is friday and suposingly we’re goin out! party time! wiii! …i have to try out a new frase i also learned here ”beau gosse”! :)))
