Christmas in Lille

Christmas is quickly approaching! Which means the end of my exchange is not too far away either. I have been rather busy lately, I did my last presentation at my Rotary host club. It was about a half hour power point presentation on my life in Australia and a bit on my life here in France. Last night I went to the club for the last time to say goodbye as they have a break over the holidays and I won't see them again before I leave. Last weekend I went to Paris, it was my last rotary weekend ever! I received my diploma which states I have completed my year in France, we did Kris Kringle and we visited a lot of Paris. It was sad saying goodbye to a lot of the people, as I won't see many of them again before I go home. I have sent one box of 7 kilos home, with books and shoes in it, as I can only bring a 23 kilo suite case home! For Christmas I am staying in my last host families house and we will be celebrating it from the house. On the 27th we will be going to Paris for the day and then travelling to the East of France to a city called Nancy, where my host dad has family.
There are so many decorations here in Lille for Christmas, there is a giant ferris wheel in the centre of Lille, a big christmas market, a huge christmas tree and heaps of other stuff.
