Half Way There :)

I've been in Europe for seven and a half weeks now, and although the first few weeks went by quite slowly (partly due to the fact that I stayed put in Paris and partly due to being homesick) I have no doubt that the next half will fly by.

This morning we made our way to Mark's apartment only to find him lying in bed sleeping - poor lad must be exhausted! The weather quickly turned for the worst so we decided to stay in to get a few things done. We first sorted out our accommodation in Berlin for next week and did some laundry. I went to the grocery store to get some stuff to make us breakfast and then I took a couple of hours to update the blog and reply to a bunch of emails I got during the week. 

We went for dinner at one of Mark's favorite Chinese restaurants, Deux Fois Plus de Piment, for some really spicy fish soup. Mark likes going there because it's always filled with asian students from around the area and it eases his homesickness a bit everytime he goes. FUN FACT: As we walked towards the restaurant we passed by the Paris Circus and the Circus Cafe, and Mark informed me of this interesting fact: when clowns are traveling, they get their clown mail in each city by going into the Circus Cafe that is usually located next to the circus. Hmmm...I don't know how credible his source is. Anyway, we finished our meal off with ice cream at Amorino's and will be heading back to the hotel soon to get a drink at the jazz bar and listen to some good music before bed.
