Jour 44 - "Wine Tasting" in Bordeaux

October 3rd, Monday

It took a whole day to get back to Lille (since we wanted to use the regional trains). Here's Kwi with her cream cheese (queso blanco). I think she had a heart attack when she saw this in Lidl. She bought it right away and in two days she was able to finish one whole pack! Hahaha that's my roommate!

We had a 5 hour stop in Bordeaux so we thought of exploring the pink area of the city.

We saw people walking on water!!! At first, we really thought it was true. Haha then I started to walk on water.


Then it started to fog!

And then we saw this! Haha. The ladies were squirting pink liquid!!! This is to give recognition to the breast cancer month :))



This was just too cute! Bordeaux is the city of wine and they had this in one of the restaurants I saw.

Oh I miss Japanese food :(

Another scary kwento: a group of French policemen went up to us and asked us for our passports. We were so scared because we didn't know what was happening. One police called someone and was dictating our names and the serial numbers of our French visas. They left after that. Weird and scary!

In case you're wondering if tasted wine during our 5-hour stay, that's a negative. We actually went to the pink area to shop and look around. And ugh, Pull and Bear is an evil store! Everything they sell there is so pretty!!!!! It's making me mad!!!! :| 

The way back to Lille was a pretty smooth train. But after a couple of hours, the ticket man saw that we weren't supposed to be in the first class seats (this time around someone paid attention to our second class pass). He asked us to move us to the back of the coach and voila! It was a little area for second class pass holders :) Great weekend indeed! I think this is the trip that so much s**t has happened to us! Lol.
