We've had to learn to do some new things here. Sometimes with instructions in French, sometimes with no instructions.
It's been fun.
1. How to rent a velib' (bicycles stationed all over; pick one up and drop it off at a new place).
Challenge: am I doing it wrong or is it broken? Turns out the lock was broken.
2. Miranda's challenge: ride the bike. Well done!
3. Induction cook stove. Heats the pan with magnets. Not bad once we: 1. got it on the first time 2. found out it will shut off if the pan is removed for more than a few seconds. That one took several internet searches, because it would be going fine, and then just stop.
4. Convection stove/grill/microwave. Getting better all the time, but lots to learn.
5. Navigating the Asterix & Obelix theme park website, way too messed up!
6. Using french keyboards in the internet cafe: certain keys are in different places so if you touch type it comes out as something like this: foajeing
7. switching metro lines and since there are different types of trains and there are signs but they aren't all that clear so you can get lost way to easily!
Will post more soon!
