Je suis arrivé en France

I am here! I arrived in Paris yesterday at about 11:30 AM after the longest flight of my life (Melbourne - Singapore - London - Paris). When I arrived in Paris I collected my bags and then went and met my family, they are really nice! We couldn't stay in Paris because I had to go straight to a Rotary Meeting in Amiens, which is about 2 north of Paris. It was so weird driving on the other side of the road, listening (but not understanding anything they say) to french on the radio, and trying to talk to my host family in general. The speed limit on the freeways is 130 km/h which was cool. We went to McDonalds for lunch yesterday, and I spilt my large coke everyone. It was so embarrassing but funny at the same time. I was trying to apologise in but it didn't work, I just said in English ahh I am so stupid haha. Today my host mum went to the bank for a bit, so I had the house to myself. Someone knocked at the front door, so I went to open it but I didn't know how to. It was a postman with a parcel, and he was speaking french really fast and I didn't know how to say that I don't know how to open the door in French so he just walked away. Everyone says that French people are rude, but I don't think I have met a rude person yet, everyone seems really nice! But it's so cool here, everything is so European. The fooood is amazing, for breakfast, lunch and dinner they eat the best bread I have ever had with the best cheese ever. Last night I had salmon pasta for dinner and tonight I had the best crepes ever! My host mum made them with me today, and she put cheese, salmon, tomato and a cracked egg on top (raw), it was so good.  It's really cold at the moment, was about 3 degrees today. I have a lot planned for the next month, I am starting school on Thursday, going to Spain in February for a week, and then going snowboarding in The Alps with my host family for another week. Overall I am loving it here, the language is hard and can be frustrating at times but I can already tell that I am improving and understanding more and more.
