Noe is a 15 year old who is working here in town 3 weeks at a time and studying 1 week back at his own town. He is doing some sort of auto detailing/marketing job. The exact details are yet unknown to me. He is very friendly and really mature for his age. Last night he invited me out to come to his gym which he does Muay Thai in. I gladly joined in and was surprised to find I still haven't forgotten much of what I learned in Thailand. Actually looking at the others who were there it seems like I have pretty good technique. And Noe commented on this as well. Unfortunately I didn't bring my equipment and it's quite expensive to partake in Muay Thai here so I don't think I will be going back anytime soon or getting a membership there.
Emily is another language assistant in town who also lives with me. She is from the states and can speak perfect French. Emily is not really shy but she seems to enjoy doing her own thing more than Noe and I. But she is quite lovely in her own right as a roommate.
We also have another assistant Anna who lives close to us from England. Anna doesn't have internet at the moment in her apartment so she's been hanging out with Emily and I chez moi. She also speaks very good French and is quite lively and talkative.
As for my apartment. It is quite small but more than adequate for my needs. I am renting a newly furnished house with my own room plus shared kitchen and bathroom. The landlord is quite nice and explained why he prefer to rent to non families which is contrary to most landlords. So apparently there was a family that rented out the whole house prior to us moving in. But they never paid their rent and when he evicted them they destroyed everything on the way out. So we are the first people to rent this place after he renovated it.
Peace from Guebwiller.
