My friend Ida introduced me to a friend of her's, Pierre Antoine. He is from Grenoble a small town in the South-East of France. He plays the saxophone in an avant-garde jazz band and studies at the ultra prestigious Jazz Conservatory of France. We switch back and forth from English and French, although mostly English, talking about everything from jazz, philosophy, geography, and current events. Needless to say, I am happy to finally have a French friend. It is rare for a French student to have the interest/patience to hang out with exchange students (especially Americans).
Also, I have to give a group presentation in my World of Wine course. I asked the guy sitting behind me if he wanted to work together and he turned out to be Parisian. Also a Pierre (Pierre Henri). We decided to do our presentation on "The Wine Bottle: Everything but the wine." We will be researching the use of different shaped bottles for different types of wine, different corks, and the labeling of wine bottles. Should be good....
