The Still (an irish pub in Clermont-Ferrand)

I know two Americans now. Ashley and Jason. Jason is from New Jersey and he is very outgoing. Jason met some Brazilians yesterday and they invited him to dinner that evening. He invited Ashley and I and we decided to go. We all met at the centre commercial (the place with lots of shopping and restaurants; kinda like a mall but outside). The Brazilians only spoke French with us so there was lots of practicing French. We walked to The Still and sat down and got drinks and talked for a long time. We discussed differences in Portuguese and English and French and cultures. I have a funny story to share from this night. When learning another language sometimes you remember things wrong well I remembered the word for sixteen wrong. I thought it was dix-seize when it is really just seize so there was a big confusion about what day our classes started because I was saying dix-seize when it is just seize. You could say I got lost in translation! Later when we were saying goodbye (I was really tired) I forgot the word for slow so I said "Je suis meme un escargot" which translates as I am like a snail. haha that got a laugh. I will try and post pictures of the Brazilians. I have a good feeling that we will be hanging out again. Also as far as contacting me you can always email me :).
Have a good day
