First day

Bonjour, bonjour! Yesterday I finally arrived in Paris.
After my short one hour flight, someone from EF picked
me up right at the airport and took me to the Residence which
is kind of a hotel but only for EF students. That way you meet
a lot of people as well!  My roommate for the next three
weeks already waited for me in our room. Her name is Mira,
she is seventeen years old and from Sweden. She seems really
nice and I'm sure we will get along super well!

That day we didn't do anything special besides packing out and
walking a little around Paris. Oh! Not to forget, we had some
food at an expensive restaurant on Champs Elysees...
but it was really good and a nice beginning for our trip.

Today we had to be at the EF School around 9am to take our
oral tests. We also got introduced to everyone from the school
and a little tour around the quartier which also included the rooftop
of Galeries Lafayette (2nd photo). You really get an amazing view
all over Paris! After that, we had a picnik under the eiffel tower and
went the seine where we took a boat tour. I really enjoyed it so it
definitely was a successful day!

Packing for Paris

One day left till Paris, which also means: packing day!
Luckily I already started packing a few things yesterday
so that I would not have to deal with the whole "how do
I pack for three weeks" situation in one day. Smart idea!
Even though it turned out not to be as difficult as imagined.

Anyway, above you can see my suitcase and I was able to
pack quite a lot in it actually. I might take another smaller
suitcase as a carry-on with me though, just so I will have
enough space to pack things, that I will maybe buy in Paris!

My plane will leave around 11 tomorrow morning so I should
be arriving in Paris around 1 pm. I'm not really sure how I will
spend my first day then, probably just packing out and walking
a little around Paris. Also, I'm excited to find out who my room-
mate will be for the next weeks!

Inspiration

Today I want to show you some pictures I just found
and really liked! Click here to get to weheartit.com
where I found them.

Now there are only four days left until I will go to
Paris. Today I spend my afternoon shopping with my
sister and my mom to buy a few clothes I will take
with me, since it apperently got really warm in Paris.


My next post might be about me trying to pack for almost
a month without overpacking (or at least trying to do so)!

Salut!

Hey everybody!

Seven days left until I will be spending three full weeks
in my favorite city with EF. I am hoping to discover many
new places, meet a lot of nice students from all over the
world and of course to improve my french language skills.

With this blog I will try my best to share my experience
with you and tell you all about what it is like studying with
EF in Paris over the summer. Maybe this might be helpful
for you if you want to study with EF as well!

For my first post, I would like to show you some of the
pictures I took during previous trips to Paris. Even though
I haven't been able to explore every part of the city yet,
I definitly have a few favorite places already.

For example the river bank of the Seine, of course the
Eiffel Tower, the shopping heaven Galeries Lafayette
and last but no least Ladurée, trying delicious Macarons
should be part of everyone's trip to Paris.
(Oh and last picture is me by the way!)



À bientôt!
