Oh La La etc

Have seized the day and will begin to execute on one of New Years resolutions next week - Travel to Europe.
I've enrolled at the Alliance Francaise school so as to talk all Frenchy and stuff while I'm taking a cycling tour along the Loire river.

Have shit house French speaking skills, so the chance to improve quickly is one I'm looking forward to.
Alliance Francaise is a great organisation which promotes the language and culture of France. I'm really looking forward to being part of the experience. Here in Australia (pronounced Straya) we have a TV channel called SBS - the multi-cultural channel (as it is known). Blah blah exposition re SBS. At 6pm they have this top show called Global Village, its a series of imported documentaries about people from all over the world. One of their more popular series covers the rivers in France, taking a tour by barge, cycling about in the day. Eating great food and generally having an awesome time.
Its that show thats made me want to talk Frenchy, ride my bike, hang out on a barge and travel along the Loire.

And it all kicks off next week.
