I'm all moved into my permanent housing at the Fondation des Etats-Unis. It's gorgeous! I'm in a single (like everyone else) and it's simple and pretty. I have a giant window that overlooks the courtyard in back. In the picture below...it says Mexico on the building across the way because Mexican students studying in Paris live there...I swear.
What I've purchased (this is mostly for my own sake, since I feel like my money has disappeared.)
Une bouteille de Perrier, 3
L’Élégance du hérisson, 7, 50
Une salade de la chèvre chaude
Shampoo, soap etc, 27
A bottle of Evian in a Metro vending maching (Think outside the bottle, and my morals, I apologize) 1, 70
A bottle of wine and some fruit , 9, 60
So about 58 euro. Pas mal.
Ah it's depressing how terrible the exchange rate is.
I did most of that shopping today. I visited Les Galleries Lafayette, THE department store in Paris. I loved it there, but I only window shopped for now. I plan on returning to buy a kick ass pair of boots. The best part was going to the roof of of the building and seeing the view. I love that there are barely any skyscrapers in Paris, and few that do exist are on the outer edge of the city.
Bonsoir mes amis!
