school trip!

i went to paris, provence, and barcelona for a week and let me say, it was actually mind changing. like.. this was my first time stepping foot into europe but it was amazing, i might glaze a bit. 

FRANCE!!:

it was not as bad as i thought it was, ive heard the stereotypes and the horror stories but honestly, it was so good. the prices were amazing, the stores were good, i came across such sweet people too. i lowkey mocked the french accent but the locals ate it up and treated me like one. i splurged bro.. i mean.. you could get 3 bottles of soju there for 18 bucks while its 35 here. i drank a lot lol (as one does) AND THE CIGARETTES! they were so fucking good and this woman came up to me and my friends asking for a cigarette and when we gave her one, she gave us her whole fucking starbucks drink. it was probably because of the fact we went to the better areas of paris i guess. 

i almost got pickpocketed but this was crazy: lost my wallet right? went all over the area 3 times to see where it was, when it was gone, i cancelled my card and i was praying to st. anthony for some SIGN bro (yes im catholic, yes hes the patron saint of lost things) and when i say that some girl in my grade (who didnt go on the school trip but was with there with her parents) randomly saw me on the street and was like "hey did you lose your wallet?" and i was like "yeah why?" then she goes "someone texted me saying they found it". turns out, this random girl found it in some goony area and used my id to find me on social media and texted me saying she found my wallet. 

her boyfriend found my wallet and they contacted me right after, she sent photos of the insides of it, THE CARD STILL THERE, MY CASH STILL THERE, A CREDIT CARD STILL IN THERE. it was insane. he gave it to me so nonchalantly and walked off. holy fuck. the world is so small and coincidentally, that same boyfriend liked one of my comments on instagram months ago and i recognized the profile. 

i asked my friends if they knew that the girl in our grade was in the area and they said no, it was pure coincidence and i was so lucky. 

provence was beautiful. more cigarettes, more drinks, the usual but its beautiful there. me and my friend got a steak and a beer there for a whooping 40 bucks here where i live... IT WAS 16 OUNCE STEAK. THAT WAS CRAZY. 

we saw the eiffel tower, went to versaille, the usual. shopping, yadayada. (my friend had a guy randomly ask him out, it was cute)

SPAIN!!:

barcelona looked like manila but more... developed? if that made sense, i wonder why... el oh el but anyways. it felt like home there im ngl.. i saw a big time rush poster, theyre performing in a club in barcelona haha. we went to the beach and it was beautiful, we took pictures and it was a ball. 

again, we went shopping and bought gifts for friends and family back home but the packing was a nightmare. 

also again, we went drinking and whatnot but the shops were INCREDIBLE. i got myself a "i love dilfs" shirt there lol. 

the hotels we stayed at were okay but there was always something off. the heaters in our room in paris never worked and there was always a weird stench, our toilet in provence broke the first day we got there, someone kept hotboxxing cigarettes in our vents in barcelona, it was odd and all the walls were paper thin.. i also stained a bunch of sheets, pillows, and towels with hair dye LMFAO. 

honestly this trip just showed how much i should be in europe.. away from the west LMFAO. anyways, it got me closer to a bunch of people at school and id say it was a 9/10 (cuz everyone was crashing out by the end of the trip).
