The Third Week

I have to make them short and swift as this cyber cafe is a little unstable and I have bought a bucket load of time. The Exciting things. Australia won! sat in the very back row.was a little dissappointed in the tickets but cest la vie__ unti it rained_ every one except for the last 6rows is in the open. the game progressed slowly just like youd expect with julian controlling play from the 10 position for Australia. slow and very wet. george came on and the crowd went wild. havnt see the recognition from any other plyer like this. the fernch had two bands playing at either end, all the crowd got into the feel and there was significant clapping and cheering. here they all clap encouragment as the kicker is taking the kick so the noise is tremendous. they do teh mexican wave- six at a time - quite spectacular_ trumpets, bagpipes and lots of singing and synchronised clappingplus Horray! after the mexican trumpet call; spent the saturday in the Byron Bay restaurantat place de vitctoire with the AFL grand final and the american and the swiss who thought it was incredible. they also qame to the rugby and we sat together so I could explain the rules. Having taken the full day doing sport we decided to do the same again on Sunday. the bordeaux facilities for the rugby include the Quais de Chartron tent city - activities for kids huge screen bars etc etc right on the Garoyne inlet banks. Teh trams take everyone here and away after the band stops playing at around12 pm. quite fun as there are about 3000 people gathering here;
Dinner as usual was quite superb usual vin and fromage- and steak! thank goodness az Im keen to have some meat. back again,Just picking up the edit after a break!!! The party for the departing students is fun- we all went to the Archeron village on the coast and there ate oysters ane drank lots of very cheapaand nasty french vin Blanc; ech week there is a gathering on friday afternoon - no lecture- and the y go on an excursion to a famous ofr pcturesque spot. the cape Ferat experience was great except we lost all the all spansh, the japonais and half of the koreens. Oh and the Australian! After a significant period, the irish woman and myself found the rest of the school but then we lost the spanish again- the guide was quite drunk at the end of the excursion so we did a head count in fifteen languages and raced for Bordeaux as it was quite lat. in the traffic jam for friday afternoon thre was quite a situation with toilets require,etns and a suermarket discoverd 30 students in thier toilets with a massive tour bur double parked across the entrance. Friday night was sleep.
