First, un Grand Merci June 25, 2009

[Un Grand Merci] First I need to thank my darling cosmopolitan French friend Claire-Aline for the packet I just got in the mail. ♥♥♥ Donc, je veux te remercier pour le paquet et aussi toutes nos correspondances. Ne quitte jamais d’être si merveilleux ! C’est grâce à toi, que je continue d’étudier pour améliorer mon niveau de la langue. Quand on nous parle je suis toujours mis envie de penser en français (malgré le fait que j’imagine que c’est tous de traviole) She’s been spending time in Finland/ Sweden / Russia this year and sent me some more local candies from the area. And is that Salmiaki I spy? Why yes I think it is! I can only imagine teeny tiny little Hanatamagos, Swedens and Finlands running around when I look at the stuff. I didn’t think I’d ever have the opportunity to try the stuff, it being so foreign (to my landlocked little Canadian town). That being said I tried one of the little orange candies (mini salted licorices) and they taste… exactly like you would imagine salted licorice to taste. The flavor wasn’t bad… it’ll just take a little getting used too. She did warn me the candies might be a little strange and now I’m terrified of opening the Salmiaki box (though I really really want to). We’ve been corresponding for a few years now and we always exchange the cutest stuff. I sent her some assorted thing and some Canadian candies. If you don’t know the nestle brand (Candies I’m talking about not their coffee), then you don’t know what you’re missing out on. I was however a poor example of a Canadian, as I didn’t send her anything maple. I gotta remember for next time hahaha.
