The story so far...

Seeing as I was dragged into this blogging crap after I arrived in France, thought I'd be a good egg and fill you in on what's happened so far...cue the enthusiastic black narrator.

I am an English Language Assistant in the Reims education authority. 

Here's a rough map for the Geographically challenged.

It's in the Champagne-Ardenne region apparently.

Champagne is that sparkling white wine stuff that women like because it makes them feel sexy and rich.

I like Reims though,

It's got a bang tidy Cathedral:

They have light shows on the weekend which is pretty sicko. The only downside are the Romanian gypsies hanging around the entrance asking you for your hardearned eurocents.

And the football team Stade de Reims isn't half bad either:

...only problem with the fans is that they're mostly shirters. The atmosphere is comparable to the old Arsenal ground aka "Highbury the Library". I'm gunna have to go on record and say the BCE would have a field day here!

I also somehow managed to meet similar folk to me out here, there's like 70 assistants in the region, all managed by two women dubbed Big Chris and the Caramel. Here's a cheeky snap of the gang that I roll with...I've even got a gang name, they call me Badger. Personally I wanted to be called Gator.

These guys are a fun bunch, from a mix of uni's across the UK and sometimes we'll hang out with the yanks aswell. The yanks are alright, I like them cus they sounds funny, and they like me cus I know everything about American Football n shit.
