Last Friday we went again (second time) to Book In Bar and we chat English-French with some people that we have already met and also some new people. At the end of the evening we got invited to a pot luck dinner at Alain (he is French from Montpellier) by Alain and Cressida from Australia living now in Montpellier; actually the pot luck was Cressida’s idea and Alain was happy to host.
Alain’s place is a one bedroom apartment with the nice view in a residential part of Montpellier. His place was 20 minutes pleasant walk from our place.
There were 10 quests, 6 from Montpellier, one British, Australian and us.
We all brought one dish, the dish was supposed to be from our country, but Mark and I agree on a American – Canadian version of a Indian - Moroccan dish: eggplant curry with couscous. All dishes were very good; I liked all of them, the aubergines caviar, meat balls with tomato sauce, curry chicken, dark bread with nuts; as dessert we had crème Brule and “oreillettes” French pastries, something like a dry doughnut.
We drank red wine and for dessert we had apple cider---everything was yummy! nous avons trop manger :)
Four of us walked home together at midnight, the night is warm and beautiful; hmmm…. I start to like Montpellier and my new friends, if I could get a job and make some Euros life would be really good here.
