As much as I hate to admit it I'm back from the holidays to work for 5 weeks before the next set of holidays start again. I met Anbu and Ranjana (two other assistants) in Anbu's city (Dunkirk). I left with Jeff on the last day of school and came back on the 3rd of January.
Dunkirk's a nice city where the people are more fun than the city is. We went to Lille many times and even to Belgium and the Netherlands. For and Indian it's tough to imagine that one can visit 3 countries in just one day. The vacation seemed to pass off really well with shopping, sight seeing, ice skating, ridiculous-dip-in-the-sea on New Year's day (if I'd died of pneumonia, all I can say is that it would have been totally worth it), meeting new people, but, most importantly, speaking in uninterrupted english for 2 weeks. So much so that I'm still having problems settling back to French even now. Sigh.
Thanks to Anbu I managed to have Indian food for the 2 weeks, but I still would recommend Fish and Chips and Belgian Waffles over Chicken Biryani anyday.
I'll be updating the photos and videos soon. Look out for them on my orkut account.

Holidays end and after 5 weeks another holiday starts!!! Holy crap, which part of the world is this. I wanna be there.
Poda, nee vera...a full 5 weeks of work before I can leave for the holidays. Verupu ethathe!
podeenga, i have to kill my already dead grandparents and uncles and aunties to get a day off here, that too a comp off for working on the weekend. !
Bleddy, don't compare working on the computer and working as a teacher to high school students. Intha vela paatha, I prefer even the YFE marches and Nandini's mokkais.
Wow, you're really globe-trotting, eh? 3 countries a day! How's the teaching going?
Teaching's going on fine. I'm planning my next set of holidays already =)
