Hi, guys! Hope you're all doing fine :)
Okay, so I was looking for a way to stay in touch without spamming your mailboxes, and I thought starting a blog could be a good and fun way of doing it.
I'll post a few pictures, tell you about my experience in Glasgow (and probably what happens next as well ;-)), probably bore you at times when trying to teach you things I personally find soooo exciting :D (but what's good with a blog is that you don't have to read it all :D), provide you with some insight into the Scottish, British, French or some other culture, and maybe try to make you all find some beauty in the fair city of Glasgow (as I haven't met a soul, be it French, British or a bowl, who seemed enthused by this city ;o)).
My task will certainly be complex at times, as I'll be dealing with sensitivities from all over the globe, but please bear with me and pardon any comment you wouldn't like about your culture: they will never be meant to be mean, as I'm sure you'll know if you know me well. And also remember we French people are stupid and just like to criticise ;o). But enough of it for now ;-)
Now, before I finish this note, what's with the French Swan?
- Why 'French', M'am?
- Because I'm French.
- Oh, you are??!! O_o So that's why you speak French so well, then?
- ...
- Miz L, the Democratic Republic of Your New Readers would like to know what made you identify with a swan. Was it an intention on your government's part to show their intention of improving their relationship with the Ancient Kingdom of Fowls and Other Feathered Creatures?
- Er... Well... there are actually two reasons which made me go for a swan, but I'm sorry to tell you neither is political.
First, my English nickname on the web tends to be Swan as it both phonetically resembles my name and means something (and quite some thing!) in English :)
And second, I lived in Slough (between London and Windsor) for the last 2 years, and there were loads of the Queen's animals on the Thames in Windsor, so I thought it would be a perfect tribute to the time I spent there :)
Forgive my craziness ;-),
Love,
XL
PS: If you found this page randomly, feel free to read it as well, as I hope you'll find some interesting things on Glasgow, student life in the UK or many other topics :)
