About a year and a half ago when I was living in Montreal, I met a lovely girl from France named Cora. We had mutual friends so we hung out a little bit. At the time, she was devastated because she had handed in her final essay for university, which for some strange reason had to be written in English. Cora had never studied written English at an advanced level and sadly, her professor told her she would have to do it again because he didn't understand it at all. Cora asked for my help, so I spent quite a bit of time going through her essay and helped her to rewrite it. In the end her professor was very impressed with her work and I think it opened some doors for her with her career...
So, to get the the point, to say thankyou, Cora said to me if I am ever in France I would be welcome to stay with her family in Nice. When all of my accommodation plans fell through in Paris I remembered this offer and got in touch with Cora and Voila! Here I am, in Nice, I arrived last night...
I feel so lucky, her parents are very kind and generous, I basically have the basement level all to myself and its like a luxury apartment, my own bedroom and bathroom, there's even a mini gym, and a sauna :) They've given me a computer to use and there are 2 guitars to choose from, I'm in heaven! And when I woke up this morning breakfast was layed out on the table, coffee, a baguette, cheese and butter, and an assortment of jams and some chocolate!.....Karma is real!
They've told me I can stay as long as I want - I wonder if forever is too much to ask?...
