Someone sucks at Blogging


And that someone is me. So here is a recap. I finished my Vietnam trip in July, flying straight to Vancouver for a day of fun before heading to Pemberton Festival. Vietnam was amazing, we had many different sets of aunts and uncles and grandparents visiting Vietnam with us. The two months of family, travel, and FOOD were well worth the heat exhaustion.

Pemberton Festival was wicked cool. The music was fantastic - The Nationals, Metric, Sam Roberts, Flaming Lips, Vampire Weekend... But the finale of Jay-Z and Coldplay blew me away. Coldplay was a dream come true.

From Pemberton, I flew home to Edmonton for a month of work before heading to Lille, France for my last semester in school, this is where I am at right now. But I somehow managed to have most of October off and traveled around Northwest and Southeast France, Amsterdam and Holland, Copenhagen, and Stockholm.

School at Universite Catholique de Lille is interesting. It is a private university so mostly rich kids go there (I am not one of them). Classes are taught in English and I am enrolled in the intensive classes - a new class every week and presentations and exams every week. I have been taught by different nationalities - UK, French, Australians, Portuguese... and participate with 160 international students from Mexico, Poland, Germany... the list continues. It is a mini soap opera here because most of the international students at IESEG (my faculty), know each other...

For a pic by pic review of my trip so far, check out my photo albums: Lille, Vietnam, France ... and more.
