The Club: Where the Caitlin is at

!!!!!!! Check me out, exclamation marks !!!!!!!

So, I bet you're all really excited to hear what I've been doing, right? Well, guess what; you're going to hear it anyway. No-one's forcing you to read this. And I've got a lot to say.

Right, well if you're still here, you're obviously very bored, so you can just deal. As Emma said, sitting down for 16 hours really hurts. Singapore airport was hilarious, with it's vodka masquerade parties, giant Disney statues, flora and koi pond. I was muchly dissapointed by the lack of wasian Jessica Alba in that Forbidden Kingdom movie, I swear she was in it. Not to mention that boring lady replacing other one in the chinese Mummy. She was so boring and english that I went to sleep. Yetis aren't fun unless they're snowboarding.

Seeing as we arrived in France at about 7:00 am and it looked like the middle of the night, I felt it only fair that I slept for most of the day. Which I did. Marine's house is awesome, though. All the houses in Versailles are at least three storeys tall. There's all these stairs, it's like being in a super bunk bed. It's really quiet, too. Possibly because it's not wedged between a train line and a main road. Marine also has three sisters and one brother, which is just freaking me out. But the boy is honestly the french Liam. It's scary. Except instead of Star Wars, it's Pokémon. (There's an é right here on the keyboard!)

Yesterday, after my day long nap, we went to the circus. Thankfully I had a shower first, I smelt so bad there was no polite way to tell me how bad I smelt. The circus wasn't as tripped out as Cirque du Soleil, but iyt was pretty weird. The ringmaster was a rabbit, and they had this dude who looked like he'd stepped straight out of Guitar Hero. Kiss-esque make up, black leather, and then he actuallt started playing the guitar, too, it looked just like on of the Wii Guitar Hero 3 ones. And then there were these singer ladies who looked like, for those who know, a cross between Dee Vasquez and Lamiroir. We didn't get home until midnight, what a way to get into a different time zone.

Today, we went to the grandparent's place to celebrate the dad's birthday and the little boy's birthday, though I don't know when either of them actually are. All the suburbs out here look like something out of a movie, it's so picturesque. And when you're driving through a park/ forest and it's all foggy, it looks like the start of a horror movie. It was my first massive french lunch, which was a bit intimidating, seeing as it was with all the grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and godparents too. First there was this weird dessert-y type thing, which was apparently tomato juice and guacmole (no clue as to spelling). Then there was the foie gras, which I undertook to at least try. Then the meat course, then the cheese course (as the mum told me, a meal without meat is not a meal), then some cake, and then come chocolate. They were all like "would you like some wine?", "would you like some champagne?". I'm just trying my best not to offend anyone.

So now, here I am, I'm sorry that I rambled on for so long, it's just been a long two days. For those of you who have stuck with this post the whole way through, let me express my gratitude in photo form.
