A Friday and Saturday Night (2 weeks late)

Now that I posted the Housewarming pictures I realized how many I'm mising from past stuff! Prepare yourselves to be bombarded. My day to day is not as exciting as these photos, but my weekends have been packed with fun times. Last week-end I went to the North, but here's a retrospective on the weekend before that.

Friday: Sophie wanted to inagurate her moving into Le Marais by going to a nice restaurant around her house. It was the classic girls night, or it started like that, and we had a great group. We had dinner and the two French girls joining us, Noemie and Chloe, told us her friend's were having a party in an empty apartment building: YES, WE ARE SO THERE. We met up with the French kiddos, most of them were from art and acting school so us Science Poers were the uncool kids, until we lit that party on fire with our hats and helmets ;)


Waiting at the Pompidou Center for Bridgette's friend Becca.. hungry like a wolf but masking it with a cute im-happy-im-in-paris smile


Ah oui, the food, te bread, the wine..


Waiting for the suspicious group of people that would take us somewhere, no one knew were, that's how we roll, we're so cool and underground


The infamous party, at the roof

The boys looking good, Neaz and Peter


These are roommates, funnest pair




Sophie, somehow always manages to look drunker than what she really is, have a full collection of her I look at when I'm bored

We realized the building was only 2 metro stops away from our place, so we went to beloved Kebab in front of our street. Our house is just at the corner.




Now the next day, different activities, just as awesome. There was a 'big' protest going on for climate change at Hotel de Ville, so Bridge and I headed down there in the afternoon. The day was beautful so we decided to take the Velibs (public bike system, you can take them inçout everywhere and the annual embership is just 3oeuros!) and bike around. Um, yeah, sounds really nice and everything but once you're in your bike you gotta watch out for your life like never before... fucking Parisian drivers, have some respect for cyclists! Now that I look at these pictures I can even understand how I wasn't even sporting my scarf and jacket, it's been like 5 degrees during the past days, really need to buy a coat, but I've been waiting cause I have a dream of buying a Penny Lane from Almost Famous groupie one, I can feel it coming my way...








Then in the night, we met with a lot of people that were going to the Pont des Arts. It was great, lots of people playing music, the drums... Turns out Tatiana from UBC is awesome at the drums and was just making everyone dance. Bridgette was impressed, and when she asked her where she learned Tatiana was like: "Wreck Beach man, changed my life!" Haha how I love this girl... She actually hosted dinner last week at her place and we decided to start a wekly tradition called the "4euro dinners". Nothing more, nothing less, one dinner per house and rotating.

So the Pont des Arts was packed, and after the Police kicked us out at 12PM (Paris, no fun city), we went to a little park in the Ile de la Cite, and continued our alcoholic and social activities. It's really beautiful to see the river at night, and to be able to talk to people and listen to music... and it's one the very last Pont des Arts nights I guess, cause it's getting really damn cold!

So voila les photos:





Last night out in a summer dress, so sad, I'm cold cold and cold again.


Sam, who took most of the pictures, they are terrible and blurry Sam, shame on you!! Or was that an aesthetic choice?
