18 Mars 2008: "He was giving us the 'I know English' stare"

St. Patrick's Day this week! Very good time at an Irish pub in Albi. I was shocked at all the English speakers that we met there-I'm guessing at least half the people weren't speaking French. It was so much fun- we met some students from the States, people from Ireland, Britain, Australia, other areas of France. We also met a few local students who desperately want to study in the US. It was great to meet all those different people. It was also a lot of fun that the bartender knew that were were American and still gave us a few free drinks! Also, side note- once you get past that name stage- those French automatically do the cheek-kiss thing before you even realize it. It threw me off a few times.
