My story...

I left Vancouver on April 4 2010 to live one year abroad. I arrived in London- spent a week with my cousins, headed over to Ireland to see some more cousins and tour the country, back to London for a day- and arrived in Paris on April 28th, 2010. I found an apartment and started working on May 10th. From May 2010 until February 2011 I lived the Parisian life and took advantage of living in the epicenter of the world by traveling and exploring numerous nearby countries such as: Algeria, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, the south of France, Belgium, Morocco, and South Africa.
This blog takes you into the wonderful adventures of my life with stories and pictures galore.
I was due back to Vancouver on April 1, 2011- where I took my position back after my one year leave. I flew back to Vancouver on March 27, 2011. It has been good to be back- I am so blessed as I am surrounded by such great people!!! So good to see friends and family again after 1 year!
Just because I'm back in Vancouver to what was my "normal" life... doesn't mean the adventures and blogging stop here. The adventures will continue I'm sure... so the only way to stay informed with my random experiences is to come back to this page! So add it to your favourites.

Paris in the fall

I must agree with my friend Josie... Paris is a beautiful city in the fall. I took advantage and had a few little outings here and there... here are a few:



Vising the Musee d'Orsay on a Sunday!

Eating a famous croissant at Stohrer bakery for my friend Raj!

MMmmmm.. my second favorite sushi place in Paris (Thanks REGINE!!!!) Planet sushi is fusion deliciosuness!!!
Amongst my favorite... the green roll! It is rolled in fresh herbs! Magically delicious!

For dessert... The banana and nutella roll wrapped in a crepe! Only in France!

I took the time on a Sunday afternoon to visit the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris... I don't there there is a better season.




How symbolic...







Amongst others... Jim Morrison.


Neat!!



This is my favorite Parisian resto ever. If you blink, you will miss it... but it is wonderful. It is a cute little wine cave that supports artisans.
Their fall decor was fabulous!!!!!


This is my favorite salad in the whole world. It is made with fresh lettuce, cherry and sundried tomatoes, thin sliced beef, parisian love, nuts and seets, artichoke hearts, and balsamic glaze. It is eaten with a beautiful French baguette.... I am in heaven just looking at it!
I dragged the crew there one Friday night :)

Well... one of my friends made it to Paris!!! Noriko and her friend Jordan came to Paris for a few days! They met me at my work!!!
We explored my favorite neighborhood together... Montmartre!
Place du Tertre with Noriko!



I am actually posting this on December 4th.. and it is freezing here in Paris. Winter has arrived. Taking a picture of the lights on the Champs Elysees is on my list of things to do... wait for it!!!
