Happy New Year!


This year I celebrated new year in a cave. Like a wine cave, which is where people have parties. It's not just a hole in the ground, it's a MASSIVE underground room and people put speakers in there, tables of food, whatever! We had a massive dance party and yelled "BONNE ANNEE!" at midnight!

Me and Canadian exchanger Victoria and one of her friends
Have also spent 2 days in Blois, a town not far from us, with Victoria and Emilio (because Emilio lives there).
Had a look around the town with all the pretty Christmas lights!

Maison de la magie (the house of magic)
The maison de la magie - magic meaning magic tricks, not Harry Potter magic - is about a guy named Houdin whose name was copied by Harry Houdini. Basically, this French guy inspired Houdini and this building is full of magic. Unfortunately, it was closed while we were there so I never got to go in.
Cathedral of Blois

Jeanne d'Arc statue
 Saw the chateau de Blois the next day:

Saturday morning I managed to wake myself up to get the train at 7 to go to... DISNEYLAND!!! I met 2 of my Australian best friends (who I'd met on bus trip) there and we spent the day in the happiest place on earth. Bliss! And so much fun!

Pirates of the Carribean

Alice in Wonderland maze

Space Mountain!
The beautiful Disney castle


It SNOWED! (With the help of a snow machine)
No words are needed for Disneyland, only photos.
Goodbye Disney, time to go...
Back to school this week - final week! This means flag signing, lots of photos, and the giving out of koalas...
