Jour 5 en France...

          Well needless to say, I was quite unproductive today. I needed to be. I slept until about 2pm :) And it was totally worth it! I eventually got to talk to Steve on Facebook...I really miss him :( We talked for about an hour and I got to tell him about my France adventures thus far :) It's hard to believe our 1 year anniversary is on Saturday :) My, how time has flown! Anyways, tonight I was hungry, so I decided to make a voyage to McDonalds in Villeneuve d'Ascq. Normally to get to McDonalds, I have to walk through the Centre Commerciale...But seeing as how it is Sunday, everything was closed, so I had to walk around this gigantic shopping center. I felt sooooooooo lost. But eventually found the golden arches and all was well. I walked into McDs, and it was pretty busy in there! Apparently, you can order your food while you wait in line. A guy came up to me with a little PDA and started asking me what I wanted. I ordered a Royal Cheese (quarter pounder for all you Americans) and fries, and a Coke. He gave me the price and a number for when I reached the counter. I paid for it and voila! It was interesting. And another interesting fact about the French...the use ketchup for fries, but mix it with MAYO. Hmmm...I stuck to the ketchup just so it could taste a little like home. All in all, it tasted pretty similar to McDonalds at home, but it was definitely different. I couldnt figure out how to exit the McDonalds either...you just had to be there. It was weird. Finally after getting out, I found myself getting lost oncemore trying to get back to Triolo. Never was I so glad to reach that stupid winding staircase. OOh! I made an awesome drink discovery today!! It's called Oasis and its a juice made by the Schweppes Ginger ale company! And it has raspberry, apple and blackcurrant flavors...don't knock it til you've tried it. It was delish. Well I guess that's all I have to say for today! :)
