      La France! Des Jeunes!

      C'est pourquoi je voudrais et je vais et je décide d'aller en France pour mes études quand je suis jeune.

      J'ai choisi un avenir sans déboucher

      take you to exchange in spain

      (insert music radiohead- no surprise)

      In French class, I learned about roommates and put a clip from a movie, and I was instantly attracted by every character with distinct personality. When I got home in the evening, I came to read it in one breath, as if I followed the hero to study abroad again. The high-value protagonists, as well as the heroine of "Amelie", are completely different temperaments.

      If you've ever lived alone in a foreign land, this film will surely stir your...

      Double standards or self-denial?

      Europe is a melting pot. It seems that Barcelona does not speak Spanish, and people from different countries do not understand the language, but people in Europe always have a way to integrate and communicate. Because the trinity, the quartet, or even the many persons, the film also proposes at the end that this is actually the story of one person.
             Among them, the views on boyfriends and girlfriends are eye-catching. For boyfriends and girlfriends, it is formal and inviolable. The...

      tout a commencé là

      All the hardships of studying abroad from here
      have always been like an endless river, and you will meet all kinds of people and all kinds of things. It seems that I have been in France for more than a year, and it seems that compared with Xavier, there are really too few difficulties, but I think if I stay for a year and leave, I must not be as reluctant as he does, because I have not encountered those "Friends" with different pupil colors.
      Since it's a movie, not life, all I see and...

      Qingdao Hotel looked at the Spanish hotel. There is no complete story, but it is very interesting. Compared with the director's other work "Chinese Puzzle Game", I have seen the growth of too many people. In fact, the movie itself is talking about growth, but there are too many complex lives and emotions that we fill in. By the way, learn cold knowledge # Erasmus World Project...

    Movie quotes

    • Xavier: As a kid I was blond, and wanted to write. I changed. We can change, can't we?

    • Xavier: I'd just like to know what forms I need - for the file... So, it's complete.

      University Secretary: Well, a post-graduate Eramus file isn't complicated. It's all listed on the small form. You need the agreement of your advisor here, the agreement of your advisor there, agreements from your university there and here, your student I.D. That's imperative! You're under SMEREP or MNEF?

      Xavier: MNEF.

      University Secretary: Then, go to the MNEF office, building D, ground floor, and ask for form E111. And don't go "pfft". Without it, you can't be reimbursed for any medical expenses, okay? So, fill out all the forms. This needs a resume, a letter of intent, the title of your thesis, and all these things here! That's all!

    • Xavier: I don't know why the world became such a mess... Complicated, made like shit, out of whack. Before there were fields, cows, chickens. It was much simpler. They had a direct relationship with things.
