The name of the game

Alright, so friday I decided to venture out on my own. I had to get a french phone number so I decided to go to Les Halles where they have a SFR store. I was lucky that one of the clerks spoke English so there were no problems until I was about to put the sim card in my old Sony Eriksson phone and it turned out that it was still locked! Luckilly, Malia had a spare phone so right now I'm sporting an old Nokia but hey, it's better than nothing.
I didn't dare to walk around too much in Les Halles coz it's huge!! I pretty much spent some time in one store which I have a feeling will be my new Forever 21 (although not as cheap) - New Look. I visited a New Look store briefly when I was in London and they have great clothes, and really nice shoes. I got two pairs for only 40 euros, score!
After Les Halles I walked to Rue de Rivoli and browsed a little bit. Later on I took the Metro to Saint Michel and walked to Luxembourg gardens again. There I chillaxed for about an hour or so before I had to go home and get ready for the evening. It is so hot here now, which is great because Paris is truly different when the sun is out.

Friday night I went to see a new friend, Franck, whom I met at HRC Calling. We had a really fun night out, first some wine, and then we went to an international bar where we hung out with a couple of his friends. The evening ended at the Highlander, of course. It is really strange though, Paris is such a small city. All of a sudden I bumped into Richard, the swedish guy whom we befriended last week, and he was telling me that the other day he met my roommate from HRC Calling. Small town, that's all I'm saying...oh, and it's full of swedes.

Yesterday, Malia and I spent a couple of hours in our local park, which is so nice and sweet. We tried to stay in the sun but it got too hot so we settled for the shade.
In the evening, we went over to Jeff's place for some wine and games. We met Jeff's old roommate who is really sweet, and Martin and Richard showed up later as well. We played the post-it game where you're supposed to guess who you are. I'm telling you, that game is going to turn into an obsession coz it is a lot of fun.

Today, it's a bit overcast so I'll probably go to Ikea, finally. It's pretty far from here so it's going to be an interesting day's journey. Oh well, it's worth it for a visit at the mothership. Swedish meatballs, here I come!
