YEY!!! 1 year in blogging!!! Local Girl Foreign Land is now 1 years old. Thank you all for being here!!! My first post was actually a food post Cooking at Ecole Institut Paul Bocuse *lol* which was pretty ridiculous on my part since I started this blog with travel in my mind. I guess it happens to all newbies, right? Quick glance at my goals… ops… I did not reach…

Yey! Another ferry ride at Port Blanc. Love doing that. Baden was quite the spot for island hopping. The islands were wine & party ready, but in the French chic way (not Phi Phi, Thailand). The accuracy of what’s going on was sketchy, given that I only understood 30% of the time. This was part of my immersion French course.

Right now (time of writing), I am at my hubby’s grandma’s. This course means ‘business’. I am in Prefailles, a seaside French town. It is more like Intensive PLUS infinity crash course. O, and I am alone without my husband. Let’s review on what I have learnt during my 10 days immersion course. I summarised them into 3 points.

Work day can start as early as 6h00 if one wishes e.g. so that one can leave work at 14h00 to pick up kids. At least, the company that I worked for was like that. The following collection of pictures were taken over the course of the same day.
