Trip to Dijon, Strasbourg, Paris for interviews

Hi everyone,

As you must know I had 5 labs to meet in order to establish a co-direction in France for my PhD.
I landed in France on Tuesday the 12th. The following Saturday, my parents and I drove 850km to go to Dijon and see my family there. I had a lot of fun. It was good to see my family. On Monday I was supposed to go to Strasbourg by train, and my childhood best friend decided to come with me, so that we can spend an entire day together and catch up. That was very nice, but of course we had a problem. Yes, otherwise it wouldn't be my life!!! The train we were supposed to catch and which was taking us to the next train station where we were supposed to take the train for Strasbourg was late. Then we would arrive too late to catch the train for Strasbourg, I asked when was the following one and it was 3h later, so would have been late for my appointment in strasbourg. So finally, we decided to go back to my family's place, and we took my grand mother's car and drove to Strasbourg. 3h to go, 3h to come back, yeah!!!
Anyway the meeting went well and now it seems that it's gonna work, but let's see.

Tuesday we left for Paris, and there I had 4 meetings. All of them went very well, I met some really interesting guy (the director of one of the most famous cancer research institute in France). There I was staying with my brother and one night I stayed at a friend's place. It was also nice to catch up with her!

Well now I am back to the south, we came back on Sunday. Here it is boring, it's "nice" to be with my parents, but there is nothing to do or nobody I know, so hopefully I'll get out of here soon!!!

Here are some pictures of Paris:
