La première sémaine à Montpellier

Bonjour tout le mond.
Comment allez vous?
Alors, je passais une sémaine à Montpellier, la plus belle ville de la France. Je n'ais pas de photos maitenant, parce que je n'ai pas une cable pour connecter la camera avec l'ordinateur.
As the French keyboard really is pain in the neck, I will change to English. Ok, first an information for any of you guys who intended to make contact with via old fashioned paper letter. DO NOT SEND ANY. I will change the place I am staying on Monday. I decided to change, because at the moment I am staying with an older lady, who is absolutely lovely, but I booked half board. Now thats the real thing I did not realize. As I don't know when I will be back in the eve or want to eat earlier, its always a bit difficult to plan. Therefore I will move in a shared flat on Monday right in downtown Montpellier, which is nice. However my bus pass gets worthless as the school is right in downtown Montpellier.
What is there to tell, the weather has improved, the Swiss have just lost their match, I have visited Bezier and le canal du midi today. Tommorrow I will go to Carcasonne with a German and a Swiss lady. Ok, now something about the school. The school is really nice. I have forgotten how much I love going to school. Yes, I am not bluffing. It's really nice to go to class and you walk out knowing you have improved. I bought for 0,2 Euros a novel in french which I started to read. However what is more interesting, I have seen a book in the store called "La geographie de l'Inde". I think I will buy this one, as its an academic book on my fav subject but in French. Alors, j'aime parler francais. Je faisait beacoup de progres et j'ai l'opinion que je sois lentment en train d'utilizer de correctes formes de grammaire. This last sentence just included two major points of grammar we had this week: use of subjonctif, adverbs. We also discussed indirect speech... and its fun.
Ok, now something about Montpellier. First of all, everthing, except the wine, is bloody expensive. In central Montpellier there is now big supermarket. They are all located near the motorway exit. Therefore you have to shop in the very expensive monoprix. Apart from the food everything else is so expensive. Even without the Euro being 1.70 CHF. The liter petrol costs 1.54 Euro. Therefore we know in Switzerland its not that expensive, isnt it. Ok, then the public transport. There are two Tramway lines and lots of buses which reach about every part of the town. However these darn buses stop running at 2000. Only the trams run after 2000. This is so stupid.
Will tell you more next time.

Cheers.
