Martinique. That is the country I chose for the year abroad: all people who do language courses at university know the pain that I am talking about. Some people are damn excited about their year abroad yet others stomachs churn with fear;I am definitely part of the latter. What is it going to be like? Will it live up to the picture postcard that it appears to be or am I just too cynical ? Will I catch jokes? All these questions are unanswerable at the moment seeing that I am still in the West Country but hopefully this blog will get those questions answered as life at the University of Antilles-Guyane unravels in September.

Lol, I bet no one is going to read this but for all my foreigners living abroad and students trying earnestly to speak foreign languages - Bonne Chance!
