In France, on 1st May, people sell "Muguet" (in French) flowers everywhere. These are little white flowers which have an extraordinary fragrance. People say that these flowers would bring us good luck. Knowing that my Concours is approaching and that I will need a lot of luck, Odile bought some beautiful "muguets" to me. Now they're in the kitchen and everytime when I look at them or smell them, I think of my host family........ I really hope that they would bring me good luck for my Concours too!
We are now in May. But this month of May is a special one. This year, we have 5 Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays! It seems that this special phenomenon only happens once in more than 600 years! Apart from that, this month of May is special for me too. It's because on 1st May, so last Friday, my beloved host family was back in Paris. They just left for London this morning and we spent several days together in Paris. In France, on 1st May, people sell "Muguet" (in French) flowers everywhere.

Yesterday night I went to see the opening night of Paquita by the Paris Opera Ballet. When I was little, Paquita was one of my favorite ballets. I like its stylish choreography and Minkus' music is always perfect for ballet. I used to have different videos from Paquita in my MP4 or iPod and I used to watch them over and over again until I could remember all the steps! What an enjoyable moment I've spent watching this wonderful ballet again. The performance was successful, full of energy and the sets and costumes were always as elegant!
