My husband and I met in Nantes when I was on my year abroad. Now we live in Lille though, it's very different. Sorry to hear about your airport nightmare, I hope your trip back to Canada is easier, and I hope you enjoy your time with your family loads! A bientôt ;) <em>Lis of the North's last blog post..<a href='http://attentionallshipping.blogspot.com/2008/03/post-op-report.html' rel="nofollow">Post-op report</a></em> Wow Zhu you grew up in Nantes!

After looking at these photographs, I am definitely going to have to take a proper trip there to have a good explore. Your tale of your bank card and your laptop sound sooo distressing. I am glad things sorted themselves out. I hope you are having a wondeful time.

Just kidding ;-) Nope, born and raised in Nantes, nothing to be proud of though but it's a nice place to see as a tourist. @RennyBA - I'd love to go to Norway! Probably not this time though, but in the summer I'd definitely consider it. More time and I still have to catch up with family so... ;-) @durano lawayan - The obly thing I wanted after the crazy trip was a shower. Or two. I felt so sweaty and confused in Paris, it was weird to speak French again! I mean, I do speak French to my students but it's not the same. The courthouse is very weird... Really dark and doors are hidden in the wall. I was curious to visit after I heard about it so much! @Shantanu - More to come soon! And some about food, I promise! @Rudy - Even I don't know Paris that well. But I'll visit next week "as a tourist", so expect pictures! ;-) @Angele - Oh, the Berlingots... a local specialty! I'll bring some back, thanks for reminding me! I'll pick up your RSS feed as soon as I can. @princesse ecossaise — Non, non, pas Paris!

I bet it still feels good to be back home, right? My friend visited Nantes some years ago and she brought back a whole jar of "berlingots de Nantes". First time ever I tasted those :P yoohooo :) I’m back to blogging and managed to fix the feed problem on my blog.

Like Disneyworld, the last time I was in Paris was over 25 years ago. The only memory I got from that city was a fancy Chinese restaurant that we went. We didn't visit the suburbs. One day! <em>Rudy's last blog post..<a href='http://www.amid.com/werd/space/' rel="nofollow">Space…</a></em> Oooh, those are nice photos!

You're back in your hometown. Wow, I could feel my lower back begging for a massage reading the 14 hour forced stay at the airport. At least it's more comfortable than being stranded for 21 hours in a village in Nigeria where the rest rooms are so uninviting, to say the least.:-) Nantes is a nice place, and it looks refreshingly clean. The court is so grim in black, and it feels like one would definitely suffer a conviction and be led straight to the dungeon. :-)Much like the descriptions in Les Miserables. No wonder Jules Verne created his submarine to go into another world. :-) --Durano, done! Hi Zhu,
