We landed around 5:45 AM, I got my luggage, exchanged a bit of money, took a bus and then the metro and walked to my cousin's house. I took a shower to wash off two weeks of grime that never seemed to get cleaned off me during my bucket showers in Cameroon. I washed all of my clothes (three shirts, two pairs of pants and a couple of hankerchifs). Anna made fried eggs, with the yolk still soft, tomato, salad, tea and French bread. I was in HEAVEN!
I needed to find an internship PRONTO so I got the addresses of the NGO's, plotted out my plan for the metro and printed out letters of recommendation and my resume. I was off. After walking around Paris for hours I had recieved 3 NO's. To cheer myself up I bought a pain au chocolate. It was damn good. I was pretty heartbroken with the last one, because it was a community garden in Paris and was my best hope and I went home with a broken spirit.
