I have to say that last night and this morning were quite relaxing. Since I didn't have school in the morning, nor a roommate I stayed up 'til midnight listening to music and watching Youtube videos. Then I didn't have anywhere to go until 11 this morning so I had a slow morning. I feel like I needed this break.
At 11 I went with Nicholas, a student from my school that lives just above me, and the guy he lives with to Monaco again. Nicholas is from Austria I believe, but he's spent the last 4 or 5 years in Boston going to school. Since he wasn't there when we went to Monaco the last time, he wanted to see it, and I wanted to go to the aquarium that was there.
We took the train and it was packed! I had to stand the whole way, but not only that, I was smashed into a corner the whole time. There was no personal space there.
After the train ride we walked around Monaco for a little bit, then I went to the aquarium and Nicolas and Michele went to do something else.
The Aquarium was nice; it wasn't anything grater than any other aquarium, but it was nice. It wasn't as much fun by myself, but it was still had a good time. I think it was a good language learning experience because all of the signs had French, but not all of the signs had English. I was exposed to a lot of fishy words.
After dinner my host family and I went with Nicolas and Michele (The guy Nicolas lives with) to a Chinese buffet. It was kind of funny/annoying because when we got there my host mom wanted to show me around the buffet before we ate to explain how it worked. I told her that it was ok and that we had buffets in America, but she showed me anyway, and had to explain everything. Sometimes she's like that, but at least she's friendly.
