Joyeux 21 Anniversaire à moi!!!

Spent my birthday in a foreign country.. check! And it certainly didn't disappoint.

Definitely thinking my 21st was my best birthday yet.
Pre birthday consisted of meeting Gareth (http://pleasedopardonmyfrench.blogspot.co.uk/) for coffee at 2pm and not getting in til 3am the next day. The following 12 hours consisted of alot of beer, meeting some cool americans, acquiring myself a gay boyfriend to escape yet another french creep and my personal highlight being serenaded happy birthday by a frenchie on the saxophone.3 hours in and the day wasnt disappointing!.



Aix/Marseille and Provence in general is the European Culture Capital for 2013 and what a lucky coincidence for the opening ceremony to fall on my birthday! The mentioned saxophonist was part of the band that accompanied an amazing trapeze artist, before they released hundreds of red balloons into the crowd. 



Spent the rest of the day doing some more cultural shizz and drinking before heading out for a birthday/leaving tapas meal. Aussies, Geordies and Rosanna all leaving for home or Spain. Gonna miss them loads but its an ace excuse to go to Espange for a bit :D My cake this year came in the shape of an epic footlong chocolate eclair! YUMMY! 



After the most amazing tapas meal we headed to a class house party for a pre-skiing celebration and mass birthday celebrations. Lets just say i wish i lived in such a cool apartement. Lots of champagne we headed into town and me and Lauren ended the night by finally getting in the Rotonde... thinking i should of kept this til the Summer.

Sounds a cliche to say but i really couldn't have had a better 21st :D
