Life is a road that I wanna keep going.. love is a river I wanna keep flowing..

The scenery

Bundled up straw

Speeding through the fields

Beautiful landscape

Mobile fries station: Friterie!

Driving through the countryside is really amazing. The scenery is really beautiful and France has some really beautiful forests that I have yet to explore. Would love to go camping there. However, guess it's a tad bit too cold here to sleep in the tents at night. Remember the condominium tents we had at STC during NP time, wow.. there are like deluxe condominiums one here. Twice the size, two rooms and a hall. What luxury! The camping equipment really looks appealing too! Alas alas, quick come and go camping with me!

There are a lot of caravans and such here, as the people go for their holidays. Imagine driving with a caravan behind your vehicle in Singapore! Haha. Funny eh! But it's amazing to actually see one though, as a caravan is something that I only know from comprehension passages of the past. Think it will be really cool to hire one next time. Haha. We all have to live once so must try everything at least once!

Lots of work to do around the house actually. But they are rather macho-macho for me. Sigh. But I'm a farmer now, can't complain too much I guess! Heehee! The folks were doing the gutter yesterday and cityfarmer II made me feel more involved by letting me climb the ladder to hammer the two ends of the gutter. Hai! It's fun but I really have to get used to doing things around here as the French do everything themselves! Hm.. unlike in Sg where we just dial a number and the worksmen come knocking!

Discussions about doing a terrace and tearing down the garage and building three in its place are in progress. Argh! Such massive works! Nothing to the French but kinda seems like a very massive project for me! Such are the difference in background and culture. The french here are actually very hardworking with regards to doing works in and around their house. Heehee. See me a year from now and I bet I can fix things around your house too! Ok! I will charge you 500€ for them! heehee. Ok la, since you guys are my good friends, 400€ will do! 20% discount specially for you!

I dunno how a trip to Gravelines turns into a social commentary on the French. I dunno what I am typing actually and thus end this entry! Haha
