Apres the start - day 2.

The new day allows me a benefit I hadnt expected_ six million children on the bus. I push my way in because this is what all the other passngers do it. The next stop the kids get off!!! Ive decided that Ill walk to here each day.Teh weekly ticket Ive bought works OK and Im pretty satisfied with the new coffee shop on Place de Tourny to sit in the sun to gather the days thoughts. The morning darkness Im told is daylight saving time. the lovely evening weather creates a magnificient period to enjoy this city till I leave for diner about 7.30 pm. Ive caught the bus and the Tram over Napoleans Bridge- Pont Pierre - to walk back. the monuments can wait as the class is a lot more my level and the students sneak a lot of talk time. English is the main communiator but german and french tiethe group together. Only two of our 12 have english as a first language. The japonais and the korean are struggling a bit but Floence, The teacher is very good and assists us with discriptions using very basic french. Still its exhausting and quite slow compared to what I hear on the street. Have found the tourist office so the tomorrow is viiting there in the arvo. My classes are every morning and Monday and Tuesday aftrnoon for general discussion. Tuna the turkish german, michele the Swiss, Monica the Austrlian german from melbourne and tostin the german make up the afternoon group. they are very basic as well so Im not feeling so bad today. Teh english discussion at lunch from Nikki, the pom from the Isle of Man has helped as well. SHe has a fortnight like myself so its ggod to know I can chat sometimes. The bus is easy in the afternoon and the diner a white fleshed fish stew. Im sure it had a fantastic name but Ive forgotten;
Homework and to bed it is ;
