continuation from previous entry

previously on GSS,
got cheated of 20 euros at e airport. n worse thing is did not realise it then. outside once we exit(sortie) out of e airport, i felt high n great thanks to e wonderful weather. it is so cool n better than e air con in e airport even. we had a ride to INT n there was no way we could communicate with e bus driver. at this pt, i realise tat there is a significant communication barrier as most of e locals here do not understand english. anyway. e INT own form of jcrc greeted us in sch n showed us ard after we had been allocated our rooms;pretty relieve to c tat e power pts r 2 hole as i forgot to bring my adaptor. mingli joined us ard this time after having alreadi explored france for 10 days,some of them by herself!
at our hall,kerin n I met up with this guy from some funny country called algor something,his name is sidip,n later we c him hanging out with a lot of pple all e time.he has this cool sey,n if gss is a drama series,he proberbli has a character like some of e prison break guys,very different from e INT "jcrc" pple hu intro us ard e hall. he offered to bring us ard paris,but i think he did not noe then we r a v big group,so it is hard; but i took note of where he live n intend to visit him someday. he looks like e sleazy kind hu seem to noe where e underground cqsinos r. can ask him next time after i settle down.
had a lousy dinner tqt day at a nearby place like ntu's JP. a sporean guy joined us hu has studied in INT for 3 yrs.

2nd day,we went to get our internet account after breakfast; bf was gd esp e capacino. i also enquired abt e bridge clubs here n will receive more info in time to come. I am realli exciting to visit the clubs,can imagine e french pple doing a triple squeeze on me,then i will be like merci,mercy! we then visit 2 monuments,one of them i forgot wat it is called but it is a place to commemerate the soldiers hu gave their lives for france: e other is e effiel tower. We did not ride up e effiel tower coz INT is bringing us there again this sat. but 2 interesting things happened there. 1 is we saw e free hugs pple tat was shown on youtube. we wanted to go hug them but they happen to leave juz when we r abt to go.wasted. 2nd interesting thingis tat rica was wondering ard when a reporter wanted to interview her in french. on instinct,she get the reporters to interview linsien instd. i think they were trying to talk more abt e tower n were looking for foreigners for interview. We had a good laugh later as we rememlbered how stress linsien was esp when her french was not so good,though e best among us.
mingli realli proved to noe a lot abt france after 11 days as she brought us ard e complicated trains system ard paris.there r so many colours of railway,not like spore so simple. she even brought us to a localised area for pastas n pizza.e meal was superb n cheap for europe std. i had my 1st taste of escargots,not v magnificent;prefer oysters in ommelote in spore. but e lagsana n pizzas r great. e waitor even played ard with e utensils n clip it on his face for us to take pics of. so interesting..
e day ends here with us going back to sch.
I am now on my 3rd day n sch officially starts today. so far i have seen e other global summer students,from usa,hk,korea. e korean pple r from VT! a few hot chicks,but cannot realli tell yet as we were sitiing at e back juz now. later after lunch,going for french test to fail it. i onli noe bonjour n merci so far.

BTW,it is not tat i am becoming more stupid in france.it is juz tat e keyboard in europe is so diffICULT n diffERENT. e lettering n e control settings is weird like weird.
