First thing, I finally took some pictures of the city. I'll put them up on facebook soon.
This morning, I wondered around the city for about 2 hours. I was looking for a razor and q-tips, but was unsuccessful. Sucks. I really need those items. Then, I met up with Olivier and Tatiana, the two who picked me up from the train station, and we looked at cell phone plans. Cell phone plans in France suck. It's so expensive, you don't get a lot of minutes, and barely any texts. I don't really know if I am going to be talking much on the phone, so I don't even know which plan to get. Sucks. After, we went to LCL to set up a bank account. I'm was trying really hard to understand everything the bank lady said, but she was speaking in bank terms. It was really confusing, but I got the majority of it. After, we met up with 3 Brazilian kids, who are attending INPG with me. Leonardo, Joel, and James. I really like them. It's interesting because they speak Portuguese, English, and French. So, when they don't know something in French, they'll try to speak English with me. Unfortunately, I only have the option of French. The four of us, with our international buddies, decided to go to a bar for an evening drink. I got the Allifgem Blonde. It's a pretty good Belgium beer. After, we went back to our places. I'm starting to like this place quite a bit. It's literally, surrounded on every single side by mountains. And now that I met some people, I'm starting to enjoy it. The only thing that sucks is that things in France are just so much more expensive than in the United States.
In other news, I'm going to have a sick upper body after this week. I've been hulling my heavy luggage around and carried a heavy backpack for 7 hours today. Haha. :)
