3 Down 1 to go

Bonjour,

Need to get my French back up to par even though everyone here does speak English too (fishuuu sigh of relief).

I forgot too mention yesterday on the way back from Pia's place we went to a tile shop to look for tiles for her new place and i saw the funniest thing ever. They had a normal cream toilet and sink set but designed with gold print trimmings and a choice of blue or green floral designs, like serious 1980's style reminded me of those old tissue box covers all our moms and cousins used to have in the house and the special ones would also put them in the back shelf of their cars. Lol then again i know they are still around but its funny to think this kind of thing is still seen as fashion im sure its our typical Asian lot. So yeah if anyone wants me to pick any up when i come back to England let me know before hand ;), ill try and take some pictures next time i go there.


As im sure you all remember my old Hong Kong emails would rant on about the locals well i thought its about time to start round two but mu style. So first weird thing i have seen so far is people randomly walking on the motorway there was actually one guy who stopped in the middle of his lane just to pick up his mobile and have a conversation before driving on.


So yes as for today's interview which was probably the most important one that i have planned to go to ended up much better than i expected. I should hear back soon enough from them and will keep everyone informed but i don't want to get to hyped up till all is set in stone :)
