Et l'histoire continue...

We've been back in Europe since one week now. After a few days in Belgium where we spent our time with friends, family and Wim's potential future employers, we drove back to Fontainebleau. Jet Lag is starting to get less but this is being fully replaced by another feeling that can be associated with a country where the wine doesn't cost 10€ per bottle: the mild hangover :-)

Our cute little studio in the centre is about the same size as our bedroom in Singapore but the fact that we don't have to share with other students totally makes up for that :-)

Waking up and opening the window, seeing a blue sky and the white houses across the street, hearing people speak French and seeing old ladies carrying baguettes (ok this last one is maybe a bit exaggerated ;-) ) ... this feels more like a holiday than Singapore ever did ... it's weird to explain. Maybe it's because this is a new experience again, or maybe it's because I'm seeing friends again, maybe it's because I'm close to home and get to go back every two weeks, maybe it's because it's the last period and knowing that this is going to be over soon ... but I feel more relaxed about the situation now. Let's hope this feeling is not just a side effect from the wine last night and that I'll still feel like this in a few days time ;-)


Wim's schedule is great too ... he almost has no classes so at least we'll have the work-free-weekends again ;-)

On Sunday we just hopped in the car and drove to this medieval town in Provins and just enjoyed how beautiful it is here. After a while of travelling in Asia you get used to nice beaches and temples and palm trees I guess and you get exited again if here you see an abandoned church and graveyard or even just a field with yellow flowers :-)

Off course I'm totally making this sound like a holiday but I am actually still hoping to get a job here because I had more free time during the last 4 months than anyone can handle. Hopefully this week I'll know more, fingers crossed.
