Almost cultural

Well, I was almost cultural this weekend. The guy on my corridor had told us all about a free classical music concert being put on at the Maison de Radio France last night so we arranged to meet outside an hour before the start in the hope of getting tickets. 2 of the 6 of us who were going got there a bit earlier and managed to get in just before we joined the queue and, unfortunately they ran out of tickets so we didn't get to go in. So, we did the next best thing and headed for a bar!
This one was at Grandes Boulevards not too far from Galeries Lafayettes (a big department store; on the same scale as Harrods and with similar prices) and it was happy hour when we arrived so we had a couple of drinks before heading for a crepe.
One of the girls that the guy on my corridor goes to uni with joined us while we were at the bar and invited us to come and meet her Dad. He was staying at the Hôtel de Crillon so we didn't pass up the chance to say Hi. The Hôtel de Crillon is one of the most luxurious hotels there is and is just off the Place de la Concorde at the end of the Champs Elysee.
So, that's about it for now. Time to iron my shirts and head to bed ready for the week ahead. Yay, work. Fun :-/
