Perouges

Yesterday i went to Pérouges, which is a small commune up on a hill outside of Lyon. It is a really cute little village, but since it was New Year’s Eve it was basically empty. There were a few shops opened, one of which sells a pizza that was sweet. i forgot the name, but […]

The Last Day of Fete des Lumieres

On the last day of the festival, Sunday the 9th, i went to Saint Jean Cathedral to see what most had told me was the best of the sights. To my dismay, it was crowded, even though it was the final night and colder than the previous nights. The first viewing of it was not […]

Fete Des Lumiere (The Festival Of Lights)

Last night was the third night of the festival, but my second night. The previous night i was much too tired and cold to go out, so i stayed indoors. The 8th of Decembre is the important day of the festival, so there were many more people and many more attractions to see. So i set […]

Fete des Lumieres

If you read this and there are many mistakes, then forgive me because i am very sleepy. i was up late last night and will be for the next three nights. Why you ask? Because Lyon has a festival every year at this time, which is four days (rather nights) long. Fête des lumières (Festival of […]

Good News

Finally something good happened. i went to my schedule rendez-vous with OFII – Office Français de l’Immigration et de l’Intégration. i was worried because i had heard some stories that it was difficult and takes a long time, but it was so easy and almost painless. i arrived on time, turned in my passport, then […]

Yesterday we had a school excursion to Le Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon), which only five students took part and i happened to be one of them. If you know me, then you know that i do not like these kind of trips with a bunch of people, but i enjoyed myself. There is always a […]

Please Don’t Speak English!

i never know exactly what i will write on Tuesday mornings until i sit here with my macbook on my lap. i do get ideas throughout the week, but if you know me, then you know i am random, which was actually a nickname a friend gave me years ago, Randomman. This week’s topic is […]

Smoking

i noticed something here that i had not noticed in the Hungarians, but know to be true of them as well; the French people smoke a lot. It is a bit strange since the government seems to be against it and they have banned smoking indoors, but you can smoke in the tram stops and […]

Comparing Cities

Sometimes i feel at a lose of what to say because either there are too many things to say or i have nothing to say. This week i feel like i have nothing to say. i thought i could do a little compare contrast between Budapest and Lyon. i know it is not really fair […]

About My Flat

As i wrote earlier there are other nice things about the square in MonPlaisir, such as they show films in the summer, but that is hearsay until i witness it for myself. MonPlaisir My Pleasure One of my favourite things is the open air farmer’s market, which happens three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday and […]
