Wassup LJ.

I've made a post for A Day In My Life but I've copied it all here too. Yay. This was what I did on Friday.

( Mmm, details )

ehy pazza, which one horse town do you live in? in melbourne, where the decent italians live, acqua frizzante is readily available.

and waiting to hear back from delphine. things should be cool though. french people, like those pesky italians, don't hurry with anything.

Well it's readily available, but it's not so ubiquitous as it is here. Like when you go buy a bottle of water in Perth you are 98% of the time faced with the choice of still water or a different brand of still water. Whereas here it's 50/50. Is it seriously 50/50 in Melbourne? Mind blown, if so.

Damn Euros.

Well, it depends where you eat. Chapel St, Lygon St, Acland St, inner city cafes and boutique cafes for sure. In the outer 'burbs, it would be less so. But Melburnians think they're European so there is that pretentious twat factor too.

Hehe, yeah it's pretty commonly available in Perth restaurants, but unless it's Tonic Water or the occasional San Pellegrino it's relatively rare to find it outside of restaurants. In Italy everywhere you come across bottled water, half of it is ~naturale and half of it is ~frizzante/~gassata and you have to specify/choose. And it's the same price. So I've been faced with it way more over here. '

What's it like in France? Bottled water markets are obviously fascinating to me :P.

Yes, yes, I loved how cheap it was when I was in Italy. I almost cried when i had to pay $3.50 for a small bottle when I got back to Melbs. It's not as cheap in France, but they drink a lot of "San Pel" and Perrier too.

Good god, honestly having a serious conversation about bottled water? Why yes, I think we are!

WATER IS SUPER INTERESTING.

Also jsyk, all I truly want from Paris is patisserie-visiting, so anything you want to do or not do with me beyond that is a bonus and fine. And if you need to do things I am very good at wandering around on my own. Also I'll probably need some time to do some studying (because I'm a loser), so basically what I'm saying is You Don't Need To Worry About Hosting Me. I don't know why I capitalised that but it's staying.
