Well the greves have really hit talence and pessac really hard. I started lectures at 8 (well I arrived at 8:15) yesterday. At 10:15 I took the tram into town after 4 hours or so I read on the tram announcements that the line B (my line) was CANCELLED and so I wouldn't be able to get home. By even all lines were off and certainly no buses were running either. We ended up walking home which only took an hour and a half at a brisk pace. Certainly not a typical friday night out!!!!!
Today I did the same only walked both directions (estimated 12mile round trip). At least we know it's possible!
Earlier this month we had a "christmas day" at the flat, I cooked us a roast, Jo made some crackers, Nico baked a yule log, friends came and we did the feast as the french say.
The build up to christmas here is a little.... modest so it doesn't really feel like yuletide. My christmas shopping is reminding that time of year is approaching and the lights in town are a good reminder too!
Missing home only in terms of knowing I am returning soon. Still very happy to be here.
