More photos of the 1st week

Finally, the professor has posted her photos of the first week. I copied some of them here.

This is a photo of our first dinner together Sunday night. There are many outdoor cafes like this one.

Last night I was very happy to find a plain cheese margherita pizza. I also found a simple pasta place today which is good and plain. So much of the food too rich for me.




This is a photo of our tour of the city. It was really windy and rainy during the tour. We are standing under an old medieval gate to the city.

On the right is Matthais, the international coordinator at the Bordeaux Business School. He is german, but speaks very good French and English (though with a German accent).





This is a photo of our third day in Bordeaux (Tuesday), when we had lunch with some French business students who study at the Bordeaux Business School.


The food at the business school is horrible! They gave us two days worth of coupons to eat here, but I don't think I'll be using the other one, except for water and yogurt.

The yogurt here is really good. It is not low fat and it does not contain corn syrup.



This is a photo of me on Tuesday afternoon when my bag finally arrived! I had to hurry and buy an outfit at Zara, a european retailer like the Limited, but cheaper. The stores close at 8 o'clock, on the days they are open at all.


Below are photos of a night out to dinner (I usually order whichever dish includes goat cheese), a group photo after our tour of the Ford plant (tip: don't invest in Ford), and finally a group photo at the business school.


Today, Friday, there was sunshine and it was about 70 degrees. Right now I am watching Desperate Housewives dubbed into French. The French love Desperate Housewives!
