Paris Party

We went to our first party in Paris tonight, but it wasn't with Parisians. Instead it was with Kara's language school classmates, who are from all over the world. Though surprisingly a lot of them were from Venezuela and Brazil. I forgot to ask why they chose this school, but a noticeable amount of the kids in Kara's school are from South America, and only a small handful are from the US. They must have a good review on the Brazilian version of TripAdvisor or something.

Anyways, the party was fun, nothing too crazy, just cheeses, crackers, and wine. The girl hosting the party only lives one block away from us, so that was really convenient. It was also a fun mashup of speaking French, English, Spanish, Portugese, and Russian. Being they were all in French language school, and at about the same level as Kara, there was a decent amount of French spoken since it was something everyone had in common. But as English is the modern universal language, just about everyone except for two of them spoke English as well (and often better than French) so that's what most of the party took place in. I'd never attended something this linguistically diverse though. I also felt a bit like a High School Harry (which btw, I had never heard this term until tonight when Kara explained it to me, but apparently it's a real saying... or so she says...) since I was the oldest one there and the only one with a job and career. But the party lasted until the metro was going to shut down and everyone else had to leave. All in all a really fun night!
