Ok it's done, I am in the ferry in Dover and we arrive to the terminal of Calais.  We have taken not the ship but an hovercraft.  It was fun gliding on the sea.  There were a Boeing reactor who was making many noise.  but it was fast.  80 minute to travel the Channel.

Now all is different, first the car are driving right and I'm used to left.

Mum, this is dangerous.  how do I cross the street now?

"Dear, you must always look left first and you must walk the left side.  So you face always the cars."

Ok, mum, I'll be careful.

We drive to the highway and we are going to Lyon in the south of France.

Mum why Lyon, and not Paris?  I want to visit the Eiffel tower. 

"Dear, there is the TGV, a Bullet train between us and Paris.  We can reach Paris in 1 hour with the latest train, and there is  videos and a restaurant. 

Is it like a plane?  No, better, and you stay on ground.

Oh ok.

Ah look the highways are very clean and they are parking and service stations. Toilets are clean and free.  Oh there are toys and sweets.

Mum, mum can I play on the parking ?  There are children houses and play garden.

Ok.  There are other children :

HI, My name is Savannah.  Other children don't understand and they speak between them only.

Casses-toi, tu nous fais peur avec tes yeux de serpent! Dégage! Retournes au LochNess !

Me: "J'ai pas peur de vous, moustiques! je suis la plus forte et mes yeux sont mille fois meilleurs que les vôtres! Au moins moi, je vois dans le noir et je pisse pas dans ma culotte quand la lumière s'éteint.  En plus vous parlez comme des nains et vous êtes même pas foutus de comprendre un seul mot d'anglais ou d'autre langues. Ah c'est ton chien là?

Attends, il va me dire ton nom.  Ah Christophe? Oui et il dit que tu as encore fait pipi au lit ce matin! et que tu n'est pas propre. Ah ta maman s'appele Françoise. Et ta soeur qui me regardes a encore des langes HAHAHAHA!"

Children: "Sorcière,  tu es une sorcière! je vais le dire a maman"

Me: "pisseur !"

And the children go crying to  their mum. She looks at me and ask what I have said. I look down so she can't see my eyes.

Me: "I am sorry Ms, I speak English an I was asking if I could play with them."

Francoise :"Huh, Sorry I don't speak English!"

Francoise shouting: "Stupid boy, its a bad joke to do to your mum. Witches doesn't exist ! No Ice cream. hop in the car. NOW!"

HAHAHA

wave my hand at them, licking and showing my Ice cream !

Now reloaded , we rush to our destination.

As usual in big cities, there are traffic jam! Especially at the peripheral road.

Go to the city and near the historical center St Jean.  It is fun. the streets are small and there are plenty of good smell of food.

Mmm, French food is the best, and Lyon is the gastronomy center of France.

We arrive at a nice old apartment in a old house .  To enter, we have to cross traboules. A traboules is a passageway under the other houses to reach the entrance.  It's like a maze.  Super FUN.

All restaurants are selling delicious food with crazy names. 

One of the craziest is "Cervelle de Canut", Canut  is a local hero and is represented by moving puppet  in a puppet theater. Cervelle means Brain.

So They are selling the brain of canut.  But it's a joke against Canut because the cervelle is cheese. So it means Canut has cheese for brain.  Fun

Lot of food have fun names and stories.  I'll enjoy living here.  And the sweets, they have a local manufacture there and.

My room is nice and well decorated.

The school is not far.  I am super happy to start a new life here. but I miss Zoe and Arthur .

Mum : "Tomorrow, we go purchase the special contact lens before going to school."

The next morning we go to a medical center and I meet a new doctor.:

"Savannah, you are a strong little girl.  This was terrible, the accident!." I need a little of your blood to make sure you stay a nice girl like you are."

Me, not stupid, :"Without treatment, am I going to transform in a monster?"

The doctor looks at my mum :

"Of course not but your size will grows too much and you'll have sharp teeth"

me: "like a Wyrm? "

Doctor,cold sweating, "What nonsense are you speaking?"

Mum relax and the tension drops.

me: "ok, here is my arm"

Doctor, I 'll count to three and it'll sting the needle.  It is fast:

One

T- Sting !

me: "Doctor is a cheater!"

doctor, "HAHAHA yes I always lie to small girls"

Doctor to Marie: "You have a nice daughter and her eyes are beautiful and mysterious!"



Here are the lens.  Put always some drops to prevent irritation and remove them at home.  I don't want such nice eyes to be damaged.

Look in the mirror, Savannah!

Oh, I got my eyes like before.  Thank you doctor, thank you mum.

Doctor: I've done nothing, it's your doctor in UK who has ordered the lens to be shipped here.

and you have a thick strong skin. I had to use a very strong needle. even the tip is chipped. 

Are you bulletproof?

HAHAHAHA


So I am ready for school tomorrow !
