Arbizu in the World

Saturday 23rd Sept.

Yesterday all the Erasmus Exchange Students, had a scheduled visit to The "Assamblee Nationale" at the end only around 8 of us appeared, but it was a really Nice Visit. To understand it is exactly the same as the "Congreso de los Diputados" in Spain, or the "Congress" in the States, we sat at the top in the guest stand, and they where debating amongst the Privatization or De-Nationalization (as the Communist representative called it) of the Public Gas and Electricity Company in France. The topic was very interesting, as the same debate is happening in Spain nowadays with the Takeover Bid of one of our Electric companies by a German one. At the end, the right party had majority therefore the Law permitting the privatization was passed.
On the evening, we went to a Firework with music show... it was AMAZING!!! all the fires where synchronized with the music and there where a lot of people as the football-pitch where it took place was completely packed, afterwards we went and had a pair of beers and back home.
All Ive done today is laundry, vacuum cleaning and made spanish omelet for lunch (it tasted better than Id expected!) tonight there's a dinner at the house of a girl from Barcelona, so Ive already bought French Wine and spanish Jamon at the supermarket.
Hope to be able to post pictures asap as just typing/reading is booooring!
