inspire to experience other cultures (even if it is a little scary)

hey guys!

so from my last blog post you will know that i was away in France. I became really ill when i was there and it was a really strange and new going to the doctors over there. so basically what happened is i had incredibly sore stomach pains i was screaming and crying and it basically looked as if i was giving birth. (at least thats what my friends say)

so instead of taking me to the hospital which is where i probably would of gone if i was at home they took me back to the camp so i could have a little rest. This clearly was not working as, as soon as i lay down i was screaming in pain so they rushed me off to the doctors.

When i got there i was expecting there to be this sorta GP kinda thing and thought they'd be annoyed as we didn't have an appointment. from the outside it basically looked like a little house. I went through the doors into a minuscule waiting room. It fit a few chairs and a small table of magazines. Basically what happened was the doctor opened the door to see who was next and thankfully some french lady let me go in first which was very kind of her so thank you french lady.

The actual doctors room was a bit more lie an office. One bit had a bed type thing and the other had a desk and lots of books. It was as if i had stepped in a time machine. It was very confusing but the doctor could speak some English and i spoke some french so it work out ok but overall it was a very odd experience.

inspire to be well traveled

Hey guys!

So I recently just got back from my school trip to Normandy in France. We stayed in a small village that was pretty much deserted half the time. That may just of been because the lifestyle there is different but i definitely didn't see very many people or cars around. We went to an activity camp sorta thing run by acorn.

The staff at Acorn were some of the best activity instructors I have ever or been taught by. They are all children at heart. It was if they had become a part of our school group I think they are one of the things I miss the most about our time away.

The activities were great fun. we did some water activities and some on site ones. No matter what we were doing I was always learning something new. on our last night we went to a local pizza restaurant by the beach which was so much fun. On the last day we went to a market there were some bongos and a few of us bought some this lead to amazing singing on the bus ride home and even some epic rave dancing on the euro star. Unfortunately i missed a few activities due to being I'll but i will tell you all about my foreign doctor experience in my next blog post.

a few things i brought back

that's all for now 
bye
