Two of my friends from Aber came over to see me for a couple of days :) Went to Ajaccio to see them, took my time getting ready and had to hurry to catch the train. Obviously I'm a moron and decided not to remember my pin to buy tickets or anything for that matter -.- great start... luckily I had my french card with me that should've had about 10 euros on it so got my return ticket bought, not a major disaster but still wthell am I going to do now????????????? I use my card practically every day and now for the life of me can't remember my pin - I was planning to do some clothes shopping while in a bigger town... :( Luckily for me I didn't throw the paper with the pin that needs to be destroyed away but kept it and on Friday went to the bank and got my card unlocked - if you didn't know then you can insert your pin 3 times, then the card will be blocked but after that if you go to an atm it'll give you another chance to enter your pin and if you're right that 4th time (only in an atm) the card will work again :) Major disaster averted this time :)

In Ajaccio we spent most of the day on the beach, could've gone swimming but the water was a tad cold, we regretted not swimming afterwards. Nevertheless, got a nice tan now and didn't burn :) well my skin was a bit red but that's normal. Went to Napoleons Birth House - was a horrible guide-translator :D I just can't translate for my life :D haha :D I can understand what it means but ask me to say it in a different language oh no! Can't do it :D (And I have 2 translation exams ahead of me....) Got the last train back (half 4 -.-) to Corte (Körr had trouble getting a discount train ticket, I had given her my student card to get it and she managed to give it to the ticket officer as a method of payment so both of them were like wtf this doesn't work etc - i usually just flash it in front of them and only say where I want to go all the talk done, she managed to get herself into a conversation in a language she doesn't speak :D)

At the evening they wanted to see the nightlife. And it was a great night out (I'm not a huge party animal if you haven't noticed before). We found a lounge that I've never been to before (like that's hard to do ;)) with seating outside and blue lights club vibe inside. At first we sat outside just talking and catching up and then it got a bit chilly so we went inside and danced a bit and watched the frenchies dance and enjoy themselves.

We came to a conclusion that it's more laid-back here than in the UK. In the UK it's all about finding yourself a one night stand and kissing each other etc... Here everyone just wants to have a good time, guys were fooling around, dancing with girls and each other all in good fun, we were invited to dance too and guess what no one touched our buts or wanted to rub themselves against us or anything else that is so common when going out in the UK. One guy made a pass to my friend asking if she wanted to try the french kiss :D but as soon as she said no, he backed off and danced on with the group (didn't strop off and didn't pursue on aggressively either). When we started leaving jokingly he tried his luck again, another no, poor lad :D but he didn't feel like he failed or something. It was all in good fun and everyone were enjoying themselves and no one was creepy or pushing themselves onto girls to make them feel awkward or uncomfortable. Everyone parted as friends and without kissing anyone :D

The day after I took them to the mountains. I'm not fit at all :D but I wasn't too bad I hope :D After a couple of hours it started raining :( so we took refuge under a tree. The rain didn't last long luckily and we went on for a bit. Walking was the activity of the day.

On the third and last day we went by the river, sunbathed a bit, one crazy went swimming - the water was freezing cold!!!!!!! and then strolled around the town a bit. Tried a cake that was baked on a leaf - you don't eat the leaf!!! the lady told us. Something new for me too :) And it was time for the to go with the last train (6 PM) to catch their flight 10 AM the next morning. This is where the public transport in Corsica is absolutely horrible!!!! :(((( They spent their night walking to the airport from the closest train station to it because the airport closes for the night and students can't really afford hotels 50 euros a night minimum. They made it though :) Although I must say I was a bit worried and thought to myself where they were now throughout the night. A bit extreme to my liking but there were two of them.

Ttyl ;)
