i can't believe i forgot to write about this!

the rugby world cup kicked off here last night. we went to a few pubs and everyone was watching the match (which the french lost, 12-17, to argentina). it was so much fun...everyone was cheering, booing, "oh no"ing together. LOUDLY. these frenchmen do love their rugby. er, actually, i just read an article that says they actually didn't cheer so fiercely for their rugby team before this, but now that it's here...damn, are they proud of their team.
