Tourist Brochures...
A week or two ago I ordered some tourist brochures on the region in France that I'll be working in (Northern France). I thought that it would be cool to look through them before I go. A whole package of stuff arrived last Friday, and I've been flipping through it.
I didn't realise that there are about 100,000 students in the greater Lille area (that's just about the population of the town where I live!), and that the city where I'll be working is literally a stone's throw away from Belgium. All I have to do is jump over the river, literally.
