When u're i a foreign country, waking up is always a bit jarring...especially when ur subconscious hasn't adjusted to the change yet. How do i know that? my dreams are still of the Philippines and ppl back home :)
I guess my awake and routine-driven self has adjusted though, because a lot of times I don't even realize that i'm in France until i find myself in places I've only ever seen on Discovery Travel and Living :)
yesterday we went to an open market (Sundays only)
saw a freakishly huge and white COW's head, and a stretched out, skinned rabbit
tasted a fresh apricot
was tempted to buy a bouquet of red-n-yellow roses
got 300g of pate de foie for 60 pesos
walked around amidst ppl carrying freshly-baked baguettes
but nothing, nothing beats the taste of fresh cheese :)
it's my new guilty pleasure and something that everyone should try at least once in their lives
(i'm goin back next sunday heehee fat and tasty land here i come)
