On Sunday I went to the beach in Sète with my flatmate/roommate (apparently it depends if you're English or American how you say this!), Amy, and two Spanish language assistants and an Italian language assistant from Amy's secondary school that she is teaching in. It was slightly tricky trying to have conversations in French when none of us spoke it as our first language, but we managed to get by and had some funny experiences including a French man talking to us about selfies. Yep, apparently the selfie craze has hit France too. We later went back into the centre of Sète and shared some tapas, although it wasn't quite up to the Spanish assistants' standards!
Today Amy and I finally made our trip to IKEA which we were very excited about - Amy had never been to an IKEA before, so I had to try and explain how it works, which is more difficult than it should be!
It was in a very smart shopping complex which had loads of shops, including many that we would find at home, so I reckon we'll be back there soon!! We both managed to get everything we needed for our apartment, and Amy had some complicated construction to do when she got home!
We also had another heavy rain shower as we were coming back home from IKEA and got completely soaked - it seems that the weather only goes to extreme opposites in Montpellier! Fortunately we managed to share a taxi ride home with a very cute 4 year old French girl and her mum, who was very excited that we were English!
Tomorrow I have my final teacher training day in Montpellier and I think Amy and I are going to try and find the nearest big supermarché, which is apparently half an hour on the bus, so we've got to work that all out!
Au revoir!
