I'm On A BOAT!







So with my work, we took a cruise today from Ouistreham, France all the way across the English channel to Portsmouth, England. The cruise we took is from a line called Brittany Ferries, and I have to say, what an awesome experience. Great service, beautiful ship and great food!

Here's some pictures.
Some are not from the boat though, and are pictures of my apartment!

This was what I saw when we rode onto the ship!
This is the bar, it's on the same deck that we had our room.

This is the stage in the bar, this is where we worked, during the time we actually did work. :P

This is the arcade. There was no PIU :(

One of the many outside decks, with Carine & Laurent

Another part of the deck.

The view of Oustreham while we were leaving.

The only thing I actually got to visit in Portsmouth, a Shell gas station

Rain, Rain Go Away, For Fuck Sakes...

So, it's been raining continuously for almost the whole two weeks I've been here.
I know I'm un Europe, but COME ON, sun please come out.
I wouldn't mind spending some time on the beach, or not be cooped up inside that stinking apartment as soon as I get off work everyday.

At least I now know where to buy internet cards, and I'll be able to use the net outside of work.
'Cause I obviously can't count on that guy, Christophe to come and fix the free internet...

I went shopping in Deauville with Karine, not my boss but the other one, yesterday.
I got a nice pair of shorts, a skirt and 60 bucks worth of groceries, well if I'd of been in Canada anyways, it only really cost me like 33 euros! It's sick.

Here's some pictures of the food I bought, just to show you how different our products are here, compared to the Canadian ones. :)

OH and pictures from the Lost Fingers concert from two nights ago, which was surprisingly REAALLY good.

Really tasty Cheeseburger Lays Chips, a flavor that doesn't exist in Canada

Frozen cheeseburgers, which have the bun, cheese and sauce on them already and are actually quite good

Fuck yeah, found some Pepsi, and they have like huuuuugeee Yops!

My condiments

Hog-dogss

The hamburg I used to make my tacos, which took like 30 minutes to cook, cause the oven sucks

Bacon Flavored Straw Chips
I bought real food too, like cheeses and breads, but those aren't as interesting xD

Jesus, his head is a star!

The Lost Fingers 
Again!
