So the past 3 weeks or so i've been around a lot of friends and family with the holidays and i've noticed there are a few questions/remarks i've been asked/told more than anything else and i thought i'd just write a few down:
1. Haven't you seen Taken?
2. So do you like.. even speak french?
3. OMG Parisians hate Americans are you going to tell people you're from Canada or something?
3. Watch out for pickpockets
4. wow, haven't you seen Taken?
5. Wow I went to France once
6. Have you gotten your passport yet? (UM DUH!)
7. Do you know anything about nannying? (answer to this is absolutely nothing)
8. OmG haven't you seen taken?
9. You're dad better learn something from Liam Neeson
10. and last, but not least. Don't get married/pregnant
But hey, did i mention how many times i've been asked if i've seen Taken in the past 3 weeks?
So the plan when i set foot in Paris is Aline's (the mother of the children i'll be a nanny for) father, whom lives in Paris, will pick me up with his youngest daughters husband, whom speaks English very well, and from there we will go to their flat in Paris to have lunch and start getting acquainted. Then we will make the 4.5 hour drive out to Lorient where i will officially start my nannying. The past few days i've been super, super, super, super nervous about my trip, but now that i've started i'm just excited.
Ready to board my plane to Paris.. Bon Voyage!
