Chaos

Posted on Jun 26, 2010

I was the one American sitting in a tram full of Frenchmen and Algerians. 30 minutes earlier, the USA beat Algeria 1-0 in the World Cup, earning themselves a berth at the 16s, something that has not been achieved for decades. This should be a monumental victory for all American fans, I should be wrapping myself in an American flag and screaming USA USA USA like an idiot. But I’m not; thankfully I had the good sense not to nor did I have a flag.

 

The Paris Nightlife

Posted on Jun 23, 2010

The Paris night life is so amazing here! I got my first taste of it two days ago. I ate a delicious dinner and got to see the famed Notre Dame at night! Afterwards, I hit the Latin Quarter and went to a salsa bar. Since I was still a bit jet lagged, and had work the next day, I didn’t stay out too long, but it was definitely a VERY memorable if short experience :) 

 

My Arrival

Posted on Jun 16, 2010

Paris.

 

La cite de l'amour, (city of love), snobby French, Baguettes & Croissants, Nutella, Eiffel Tower.

 

Those are some of the words linked to this wonderful city that I now live in. A week ago I was in San Jose enjoying some BBQ and watching the World Cup match between the United States and England (Woot a tie!). Now I am in one of the most beautiful cities in the world and am interning for one of the most admired pioneers in the tech industry: Microsoft. This sudden change in environment is well, truly mind boggling. 

Departing for France

Dear friends, 

 

I am about to embark on a wonderful journey to Paris for an internship with Intrax Internship Abroad. On June 14th 2009, I will be arriving in Paris for my very first time at the CDG where I along with my other Intrax interns get the wonderful opportunity to experience French culture for the next two months.
