Well, I'm finally getting settled into Parisian life. I'm almost at the end of my preliminary course. Although I'm still relatively far from being "Parisian," I'm beginning to feel like I'm actually living here. So here are some more pictures of my life in Paris. This is my monthly metro pass (Carte Orange), which is just about the most useful thing I have gotten so far in Paris:
This is my lovely street:
It's pretty residential, if you couldn't tell by the rows of apartment buildings. However, if you want to send me mail (letters, postcards, packages...), send them to 56 rue de Passy, Paris 75016, which is the NYU center. I'd say to send it to my address, but the mail never seems to come there and I'd check my NYU mailbox pretty much every day. This is what my apartment building looks like, though:
Then there is an obligatory picture of me in front of Notre Dame. It's at night, so the color's a little off, but it works...
Next is a picture of Julie, Molli, and Supraja at the opera. We went to see "Les comptes d'Hoffman" by Offenbach:
It was at the Opera Bastille, which was built sometime recently, so it's really modern-looking.
Well, hopefully I can post again soon. A bientot!
Then us in Montmartre looking at the city:
Next is me by the Seine:
Followed by me in front of the inverted pyramid made famous by The DaVinci Code:
Then Tom on top of the Arc de Triomph with the Champs Elysees below:
It was a fun but short visit. I got one last chance to really be a tourist in Paris, which was quite nice, and see Tom before he heads off to Sydney.

19Then, the piece de resistance, the view out my window. And the building across the street thatyou see was designed by Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann, the Parisian civic planner from theth century.
Now some pictures around Paris. Of course there is the obligatory shot of the Eiffel Tower:
I'm not sure what the green light is in the middle. The best guess I've heard is an upside down Christmas tree. Next is a picture of my new friends Molli, Emily, and Julie in the garden of the NYU centerwhere I'll take most of my classes and call from every so often cause they have wifi):
Next is Molli, me, and Emily in front of the Arc de Triomphe (another classic Paris shot):
That is it for now. I am having a fabulous time in Paris and I'll be writing again soon. For now, a bientot!
