World Cup ended last weekend with South Africa taking 1st place! They won 14-6 against England, not one goal was made (except the really close one by England)... points were all from kicks.
And sadly, Argentina beat France 34-10 (i think) for third place. It was very sad for France. My host mom said, "ils sont nulle" which i think means, they suck. heh.
And that's a picture of a sparkling Tour Eiffel from the window of a friend's studio. It sparkles at the top of every hour at night. You can see the rugby ball at the bottom of it with green lights shining on it. I think the rugby ball will be coming down soon.
2. Tennis - BNP Paribas Masters 2007 (aka Paris Open)
I found out that the Paris Open (Men's Tennis) will be going on next week, in Paris, at a stadium that's 40 minutes away from my homestay!! The qualifiers are this Saturday and I'm going to try to go and then I'm going to get tickets to the Semi-final matches (next Sat, Nov 3)!! I am super excited. =) My first tennis match live! and so far, I think Federer, Ferrer, and maybe Roddick will be there.
3. Quidditch à Poudlard - Quidditch at Hogwarts
kidding. It's not really here in Paris... BUT I'm reading Harry Potter et la chambre des secrets in French. =D It's super exciting to see how the translations are made. My favorite so far:
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named = Celui-Dont-Le-Nom-Ne-Doit-Pas-Être-Prononcé
