Lucky I know how to speak Rachel

Go out into this world and give all you have to give because you got a lot. And now that you’re 18 and oh so old, I hope you had a fabulous day.
Happy birthday to you
You’re a hundred and two
You look like a monkey
And you smell like your shoe.
 

Marseille

I went to Marseille with my host mother last week. We went down on the train on a Wednesday for four hours in first class because my host mother only travels first class. She was going down for work and so I was given money every morning to take a taxi around Marseille and enjoy [...]

It’s apparently illegal to call a koala Skippy

My parents sent me a giant bag full of little koalas to give to people as presents. You know the whole ‘Hey I’m Australian. Have something Australian that was made in china.’ It’s part of the exchange. You give out little things that are specific for your country.

Chantilly

 
Chantilly is a hunting castle. It’s beautiful and it’s for horses. I’ve never been a big fan of horses just because I’ve never been around them I guess. But even that whole girl phase of ‘I love horses’ I never went through. I went here with my host father from my first family the day [...]

Vendee

So there is a lot of places that I’ve visited over my past fifteen weeks now. I’m just going to spend a week updating everyone on where I’ve gone. This is Vendee. I went here with Rotary. It was a exchange weekend for all of the exchange students in France. It was an advertisement for [...]

Lest We Forget

A lot of arrangements went in for Friday 25th April. The other Australian exchange student and the New Zealand student were coming to my house on Thursday night for us to wake up at three in the morning after two hours sleep to drive to Villers-Bretannuax for the first ANZAC Dawn Service to honour the [...]
