I got to learn the secrets to French cooking today when our team dinner turned out to be a make-your-own dinner near Versailles. We made some chicken with asparagus and cream sauce, and then she had some some pre-prepared macrons with whipped cream for dessert. It was delicious and a great experience!
My first experience with the infamous Paris train strikes was today. Luckily its only lasting the one day, but it particularly affected the RER B line I use to get to work, so only 1 out of the normal 4 trains ran, meaning you had to wait a lot longer to catch one. I also noticed they didn't announce the stations at all, which is kind of odd since it's all automated, so apparently the ones that still stayed on were striking against pushing the button to turn on the announcer voice. In the meantime it meant I spent 30 minutes waiting out in the cold for the train to come.
