So, most recently, we were invited to celebrate the Chinese New Year with some of the Chinese students at GTL. The year of the Ox! It was a great time. This is a video of one of the Chinese guys singing a song after we ate. The night before, he had performed at an 'official' Chinese New Year celebration they had at the University of Metz in collaboration with the Chinese consulate here in France.
I also tried to make the video a button that links to my picasa website, where you can see more pictures. If it didn't work there is a button you can click on over there. (--> under "Links") There are also lots of other new pictures you should check out. The captions should be enough to tell you all about them!
So, roughly, since my last entry, we had a great anniversary (went to some thermal baths...it was great!), had a great Christmas, had dinner with a french couple from our scuba diving club, after Christmas, have started "theory" courses for certification in level 2 in the French scuba diving system, and plan to go snow shoeing in February.
David is taking a class this semester (only 2 more after this one!) and has made a good amount of progress organizing his thoughts and plans so that he can make significant progress towards proposing, thesising, and graduating.
Duncan and I are getting mentally prepared for the weather to warm up! I have found a picnic blanket and set that I plan to buy so that we can spend lots of time outside once it's warm enough.
I also found a scrapbook so that I can start scrap booking about our time here in France. I got a photo printer for Christmas, (thanks David's family!) so this was my main motivation to get started before we've been here so long that I have too much to try to recapture. Well, I'm back to blogging, so stay tuned!
