LOL maybe the rain helped? You could kinda surf down after the cheese :P

I forgot to ask btw, did you find the shops I told you about in Paris at all? ^_^

[djinnrummy]

Heh heh, maybe XPP Ewwww, but think of all that mud!! *bleugh*

The shops: umm, well, not really. We did try to find the one near the Louvre by walking all down the street it was supposed to be on but I swear it wasn't there because I never saw it. But, maybe I wasn't looking properly? As for the other two, well, after my friend's purse got nicked in the Metro that same evening, neither she nor I were particularly thinking about finding anime shops after that^^;; Plus our feet were killing us from the constant jumping at the concert XPPP

But, seriously, thanks for those addresses because I will go back and find them one of these days when the conditions are more favourable ;D

Ewwww indeed, but i'm sure people get caked in worse :P

Awwww thats a shame, especially about the evil purse nicking :S I'll have to give you better directions next time XD the anime one I could find IN MY SLEEP at least i've been there so often, I will get you there one way or the other XDD

XDDD well, as you can see from this, the cheeses aren't big but can be dangerous!

The contestants chase each cheese down a really steep hill to be the first to grab it ^^;; And then they get it as the prize XDDDD

[djinnrummy]

XDD From what I've read about it, there's only one cheese per race, so no danger of going after the wrong one *lol* Yep, just the cheese as a prize!! It must be very good cheese XPPP

Oh my, sounds painful and dangerous! I can't imagine rolling cheese in torrential rain. Doesn't sound fun XD ^^

[djinnrummy]

Heh heh, I can't imagine it either!! I wouldn't do it! ^^;;
