5 facts about Europe (a bonus update from Raff)

I thought you might like to hear some things I thought you might like to know about Europe

1. You have to pay to go to a public toilet

2. There are self-cleaning toilet - when you press the flush button it flushes then the whole toilet seat spins around and gets cleaned

3. German breakfasts are different to ours - they have meat, cheese and hard boiled eggs for breakfast, but I still had yoghurt 

4. When you have kinderpunsch at the market you can keep the cups that they come in - some are like boots. Each stalls kinderpunsch tastes different, some are sour, some are sweet. 



5. Europe money is different - it is called the Euro 

6. Lots of people smoke in Europe

7. There are lots of bridges in Europe, one we walked in even had statues of saints 

8. You tell the difference between good and bad croissants by whether they have lots of air holes (good) or not (bad). We the a croissant from the second best croissant maker in Europe. It had lots of air holes. 

Hope this helps you.

What Raff did on Thursday

OOn Thursday we went to the Paris army war and history museum called Invalides.

When we got there we were given Napoleon hats that we wore at the museum.



First we walked up to the army stuff first. We learnt that guns were really hard to load in those days and you had to clean them.

Also we saw a video thing that was about a war between Napoleon and someone else. Napoleon won, we liked that. Remus and I were happy because we were learning things.  

You got to chose whether you listened in English or French, we chose English.

We also saw Napoleon's tomb. A tomb is someone's grave.

The place we went for dinner was a very good place to go. It was a crepe place. Crepes are like pancakes but thinner and folded up. I had a chicken crepe that tasted a bit like our Nannie's chicken soup with marinated chicken and tomato

 

We also has a crepe with Nutella. We also had a salted caramel and ice cream one but I didn't have much of that.
