About Suzy_Belle:
I never left California, outside of the occasional visits to Mexico to see family, and now I'm living and studying in France. I hope to travel throughout Europe, gain some perspective (maybe some friends too), and come back a fluent French speaker. I am a 3rd year French major, originally from UCSB and currently attending L'université de Bordeaux III- Michèl de Montaigne.
Hobbies:I love to cook. Since arriving in France I've become ridiculously experimental and I stand by my motto: "I'll try anything once... twice if I haven't made up my mind about it yet."
Favourite places:Lisboa, Portugal and Strasbourg, France

Straight Boys Dance Too
Posted by Suzy_Belle | 14th September 2008
Last night I went to a couple of clubs with some of the friends that we've made along the way and the one thing that continues to shock me for some reason is the fact that all the boys dance. They not only dance, but they dance with each other.
