Haha this entry is going to be really short...here's why...

I didnt realize making my way from Bruges to Reims was so long and complicated! Usually i would look up the route before going...but i think by this point i didnt really care so i just went to the train station and bought my tickets. first of all, i had no idea they were so expensive (i think it was over 100 euros!) AND so complicated (I had to train it back to Brussels, to Paris Nord station, walk to Paris Est station then train it to Reims...i'm just tired just saying/typing that). So by the time i got to my hostel in Reims...i was REALLY tired! i thought i would close my eyes for like 20 mins before i head out...i ended up sleeping for 12 hours straight haha. i think my roommate thought i was weird or i was sick cuz i slept for a really long time!

The next day i finally met my roommate - she's really cool! She's italian but living in Paris because she teaches Italian in public school. she was telling me how our other roommate was acting weird - that she drank a whole bottle of red wine by herself in the middle of the night in the bathroom!! haha i saw her...she looks weird...haha! Anyway, i spent the day roaming around Reims...saw the cathedral, saw the outside of many places but didnt bother going in haha i have no idea why. My initial plan was to visit Epernay and see the Champagne boulevard or whatever it is called...all the champagne companies are there...its THE champagne town!! but i didnt do anything champagne-y...i was too tired, too hung over...and just wanted to chilll. That night i hung out with my roommate and we chatted the whole nite...she's a cool chick!

The following day i slowly made my way to Paris...yeh Paris! but oh no its Paris...my last stop before going home. In someways i was dreading to see Paris cuz i knew it was almost time for home. But i was also very excited to see the city again (i went maybe 6 years ago and did all the touristy things already but this time i wanted to see a different side of the city). Reims was definitely nice...the city is a bit small though...i should've gone to Lille....haha
