The Quest for Internet

First I want to say sorry for not posting as often as I should! I do not have internet in my room yet, so it is quite the adventure searching for places with WiFi. I can access it at the University (but that is at the other end of the city), at the downtown McDonalds, and at the Irish Pub just down the road. So...those are my options! I will be getting internet in about a week, so expect some more posts and emails coming.

So back to Rugby...France was kicked out by England and then France lost the 3rd place title to Argentina. Last night England played South Africa for the World Cup Championship and...South Africa won. We watched the game in the Irish Pub again (I think we've become regulars becuase the bartender knows our names...good or bad I'm not sure!).

The weather has changed. It is now winter. Biking to school is now becoming not so fun when the winter wind is blowing in your face. I've bought a nice scarf to keep me warm but the next on the list is a nice warm toque (not a beanie as the Americans and Australians say!). I cannot wait until it snows here! As some of you know, winter is my favorite season and Strasbourg will be beautiful covered in snow! At the end of November there is an amazing Christmas market and I'm looking forward to browsing through it (although I hear it's filled packed with tourists...and no I do not consider myself a tourist anymore thank you very much! I figure if you live in a place for more than a month then you are considered a local!)
