Working On The A

Yay, the A is showing up now!

Chinese Food In Trouville

 It's pretty hard to find non-seafood restaurants in Trouville/Deauville.  We did, however, find Le Phenix, a Chinese restaurant!  Since Chinese is hard to find in Chisinau, we decided to try it.  Chinese food in France is bland!  Andreas had egg rolls and I had egg drop soup as our starters.  The soup was good and the un-spicyness didn't show because egg drop soup isn't normally spicy.

 I also had tea as my drink.  It took a bit to steep, and Andreas took the picture before it was done.  Below is a photo of the entrance.  They do the Chinese dragon motif throughout, and the wait staff, at least, is ethnically Chinese.

 The main course revealed its blandness.  We had a beef in oyster sauce and a chicken with cashew one.  We each at both, and it was just okay.  I think I'll make Chinese at home to get it spicy.  As dessert, Andreas got canned pineapple slices and I got orange confit.  The confit was definitely weird.  Oh, did I mention that it still cost us twenty euros each?

Three Fingers

Yay, the third leaf is coming along and so is the bamboo.  I made some progress on this while in France.  Now that I'm home, I hope to make more.

Passionflowers

 We went to a gaming shop in Rouen, and right where we parked was a beautiful fence twined with passionflowers!  I snapped some pictures with my phone because they're so beautiful and unusual.

Side By Side

The big stitches on the sides are done.  I think it's coming along pretty well!

McDonald's In France....

--looks almost the same as McDonald's everywhere else.  More selection than Moldova, though, and they have the place your own order kiosks, too!

Pretty Pastries

I admit it; I'm a sucker for French bakeries.  I just love the way everything looks, and the tastes are usually amazing.  Here in Moldova, the baked goods tend to look good, but the taste is pretty bland.  I bought these and ate about half of each on different days.  Both tasted as lovely as they look, but I just can't eat that much sweet anymore!
