AFS France: Carmen Khoo

During the months of December 2009-January 2010, I was in France for a student exchange programme which I enjoyed immensely.

I would like to share some pictures on this blog, mainly those I've taken of the picturesque places I've been to, and the beautiful effect the snow has on everything it falls on.

(On the side note, it's freeeeezing!)

Greetings from China France (Niort)
The pictures below were taken during my skiing trip :

Second day of arrival Eiffel Tower 
The trip has been nothing but wonderful. The experiences I've had, the people I've met, the places I've been to and the amazing little things make this trip truly worthwhile.

There are definitely more things in life that you can learn outside the classroom. The boundaries are endless and it's up to you to seek them out. (And no, I'm not encouraging you to skip classes.)

Stay tuned for Chandini's trip to Italy and Mae Yune's trip to France! :)
