A Big Day to Remember
"Ming tian shi shenme ri zi?" (What day is it tomorrow?) ---- My French student Damien asked me in class suddenly, "Er..." I couldn't think of a proper answer. "It's French National Day!" He seemed a bit surprised that I actually had no idea about this big date!!
Cheers to you all, my dearest French students, and of course, to all French people in the world!! May you all have a wonderful National Day!!
Damien told me that there will be a big party tomorrow night (organised by the French consulate), all French people here (last year it was about a thousand people turn up to this party!!) who registered with them could get free admission, food and drinks are free too!! Wow, I can image how hot the party could be!!
Hm, what a great chance to meet new friends and students if I be there... Damien read my mind and said "you can go there after 9:30pm, with charges of course." Well, I am not seriously thinking of going there, but it should be worth going just to think of what one could gain after the party!!

Hi! It's national day, yes, with lots of firelights and all: looks like 4th July in the US in fact. It celebrates the end of Royalty in France. (beheaded people and all...) and the French hymn dates back to the French revolution: around 14th July 1789.
I think it would have been a good point for you to go to that party, for commercial purpose at least... (wink!)
Enjoy your week end!
