However, I have to say that I'm glad I didn't know half of it, at the time it was happening. I'm so sorry you had all of those awful experiences, but sounds as though things are turning around for the better now. I'm anxious to hear all about your new apartment, and this big party you're having, Will be lots of fun, I'm sure. Take care of yourself, honey. Your Nonie loves you lots and lots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12891279.post-1126661368670959422005-09-14T11:29:00.000+10:002005-09-14T11:29:00.000+10:00Hey honey, I am so proud of you!! I can't believed...Hey honey, <BR/><BR/>I am so proud of you!! I can't believed you coped because you know that i would have called my mum on day one. And just remember that when my dad went to India for the first time he basically cried for two weeks straight. <BR/><BR/>i understand that poeple are worried about your safety and those nasty, nasty French men but just remember not to cut everyone of just because they can come on strong. I come on strong and you kept me around. But I always believe in the rapid one liner and a quick kick to the gentils (penis pain is universal) if needed works the best. <BR/><BR/>Okay I have to go, my play goes on in a week and we still don't ahve a set!!! Ahhh!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>I love you so much and are thinking of you constantly. <BR/><BR/>Be brave, be strong and be beautiful. But then you already are. <BR/><BR/>ClaireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12891279.post-1126656082433988342005-09-14T10:01:00.000+10:002005-09-14T10:01:00.000+10:00Hi Cara!Wow dal(mon chere is it?) you've been thro...Hi Cara!<BR/><BR/>Wow dal(mon chere is it?) you've been through a lot in a short time - i was getting worried that we hadn't heard from you in awhile but I'm glad you alright even if the odds were stacked up against you...you've dealt with the whole situation incredibly and should be very proud of yourself!!!<BR/><BR/>C'est la France eh? Well despite everything it sounds like an fascinating place to be - with good food (i've read French Women dont get fat...is it really true?)and wine...with chocolate and bread, all my favourite food groups in one country. <BR/><BR/>But it sounds like the boys need to be taught a lesson - i myself prefer the death look (honed to perfection by yours truely) to the finger but hey in an emergency just use both...<BR/><BR/>It sounds like you should stick to the safer areas especially since your travelling all alone - i hate to say trust no one but remember even the nicest people can turn on you! <BR/><BR/>Be safe and have lots of fun ok!!<BR/>Big hugs from EM XXOOXXOO<BR/><BR/>PS - Love to come to your party - i'm just finding an express postage box that i can fit into...how big are those wine boxes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12891279.post-1126522694987407732005-09-12T20:58:00.000+10:002005-09-12T20:58:00.000+10:00Thank you everyone for posting comments! They made...Thank you everyone for posting comments! They made me smile SO MUCH and I feel like I have done well and not just been overly dramatic with my trials and tribulations! I even thought I should have posted earlier so I could feel happy, good, supported and loved! *warm fuzzy feeling*. French men are just different. Not too bad. To be fair Aussie and French men could learn from each other. Aussie men could sometimes be a bit more up upfront and honest while the French guys could learn the meaning of the words 'subtle' and 'reserved'! Address coming ASAP. I had a wonderful time Gigi and was sorry to leave (really sorry when I got here and everything was horrid! lol). Lol...interesting suggestion for a new look Lisa! lol, you make me laugh!

I now you need to expect some problems when you go overseas, but you had more than your fair share!!!<BR/>I am so glad you are finally settleing down, hopefully now that you finally have an apartment, some wacky friends to replace your ones here, are actually inrolled in uni and are starting to find your feet, you'll start to enjoy yourself. travelling is supposed to be a big adventure, not a disaster.<BR/><BR/>I have heard French men are very sleezy, my mum said that about them when she was in France over 30 years ago, obviously some things dont change. Just teach them that they dont mess with Aussie chicks, we dont take it<BR/><BR/>Im sure your adventures will have made you stronger, im sure you'll now be able to deal with anything thats thrown at you.<BR/><BR/>I hope your next posting has a more positive feel as things have improved for you, you deserve a good time.<BR/><BR/>Luv RhiannonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12891279.post-1126496059290781952005-09-12T13:34:00.000+10:002005-09-12T13:34:00.000+10:00Wow...I have an urge to travel over there just so ...Wow...I have an urge to travel over there just so I can act as your bodyguard. I know martial arts! Uh...kinda. <BR/><BR/>Proud of you for coping and making the best of everything. I know my sister went through the same culture shock when she went on exchange to Indonesia but it passes and now she won't stay away from the place! <BR/><BR/>I heard somewhere that although the French drink lots of wine and eat rich foods they are really healthy and rarely overweight, so maybe you don't need to worry about the food?? <BR/><BR/>Have fun with your housewarming...I'll be there in spirit but I expect you to be at my 21st in spirit in exchange!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12891279.post-1126494765224482902005-09-12T13:12:00.000+10:002005-09-12T13:12:00.000+10:00Hey Cara,It sounds like life has been a little cra...Hey Cara,<BR/>It sounds like life has been a little crazy for you lately, but I am glad things are slowly falling into place for you.

Good on you for sticking it to those stinky french men. I say give them the finger, its a universal way of saying get f*#ked. Your apartment sounds wonderful. Just think that things can only get better. If you want to avoid large amounts of attention you'll have to shave your head and gain 30kgs (not recommended). Your just too beautiful my dear.<BR/>Had a immuno mid sem this morning, it was so much easier than last semesters. Stick with immuno, it's fun now.<BR/>Gotta go do my report (eek...its due friday!!)<BR/>Love you,<BR/>Lisa<BR/>P.S: Completely admiring your strength and determination to get all that stuff sorted. I think i would have collapsed in a teary heap and jumped on the next plane home. you are one of a kind and i miss you dearly.

I'...Whew... you've already had quite the adventure! I'm so happy to see you're posting again, as I've been wondering since you left us... (though your mom did let me know you were okay - thanks, Jan!) It seems like so long ago. We were so glad you could stop by while in our neighborhood (NJ- USA)! What fun.<BR/><BR/>Well.. as I imagined, you've found some crazy, unexpected situations to deal with.. but as I also expected, you're dealing with them, making the best of them, and managing to smile and laugh along the way. Good for you. Like your dad, I'll worry too.. but, overall, I think you'll land on your feet regardless of our concerns! Keep in touch. We loved having you and hope you'll visit again on another of your world tours!Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338909902644347132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12891279.post-1126481061908024292005-09-12T09:24:00.000+10:002005-09-12T09:24:00.000+10:00ohh uncle clay...your to funny...but he is right a...ohh uncle clay...your to funny...but he is right about those french men...they seem like the type of men i like so there for stay far far away....you know my taste in men...<BR/>...we'll ne hoo i miss you...sorry you had such a horrid first couple of day...but it sounds like your doing just fine now...i want to come visit you...i just need to see how much it will take...<BR/>...and even though it doesn't seem like i listen to you advice...i do hear you...<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Kathleen<BR/><BR/>P.S. keep me posted...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12891279.post-1126470943947329912005-09-12T06:35:00.000+10:002005-09-12T06:35:00.000+10:00My God!!!!
