I got a job in the bakery of my twin town. It was something my school had done before but basically we had to write to the people in french and say who we were, why we wanted work exp. etc. Hadn't been to spain until after a level exams so I haven't done anything over there yet.

haha flunch ROCKED. all that classic french cuisine! i ended up having... poisson panné was it? the fish and chips one. the rest was a bit rank :rolleyes:

our hotel in granada was lush tho, i didnt get how we were travelling further but getting better stuff! was all pretty and shiny and new and posh... the hotel in rouen on the other hand was SICK, me and my friend were in a room that blatantly should've been a single that didnt even have a wardrobe, just like, a bathroom cabinet in the bedroom, and there was a very suspicious bulge coming out of the wall. although would probs have to say rouen was the best experience of all three, probs coz i was used to the setup more and could get into the swing of things right off :smile:

lolol i had the bread roll :p:

it was all very very rank lol but ohh i have fond memories of flunch none the less.... classic lol.
oh wow granada sounds brilliant, definitely an improvement on the questionable luxury of mister bed city... did you have to pay extra for the place in granada? omg rouen sounds WRONG... lol r u sure that was even a hotel? although saying that we didn't even get a radiator in our room in lille lol...
ohh so rouen was the one u went 2 last, after you'd already done the other 2? yeh at least u knew what 2 expect and could just enjoy it right from the very first day... if you haven't done it before you have 2 settle in the first couple of days b4 u really start enjoying it, that's what i found with lille anyway. do u work in a nursery in all three of the places you went 2?
and just out of interest how come u went 3 times? cos we just went once with school and that was it. did you organise it yourself a couple of times?
