Piggy en Europe IV-Fontainebleau, Ile-de-France, France

Fontainebleau, located 45 min by train from center of Paris, is one of my favorite towns, where I went often and spent pretty much time.

The first I went to Fontainebleau was the January of 2004. Because of some bad things happened at that time, I felt not so good, and really wanted to disappear for some time, so I went to Fontainebleau with Charlotte, and since then I fell in love with this cute little town.

We arrived in the Fontainbleau Avon Station, and found the bus to go downtown, however we didn't know where the Chateaux is, so I asked a cute guy sitting behind us on the bus. He was a really nice guy, explained us how to get there, and said that he would tell us where to get off. Got off at the station of the Chateaux, I turned back, and waved my hand to say "Bye" to him while walking, but I didn't see the tree in front of me, and nearly crashed on to the tree:p--Stupid me~hehe...

Maybe because of the cold weather, or it was not holidays, there were not many people there, very quite, and was really a nice place to relax.We nearly forgot the cold outside, and spent long time outside in the garden--Such a romantic place, I really wanted to go with my love, but at last I haven't realized this dream, however, I had some magic RENCONTRE there~:)

That was September of 2004, forget why I went to Paris, but Diane was in Paris at that time, so I stayed 2 days there with her, and we went to Fontainbleau. It looks more vivid in summer, and was another kind of beautiful...

We tried to go to INSEAD, which is at the end of the bus line, and saw another cute boy on the bus~He sit opposite to us, on my right, the first time I saw him, I was shocked--he's not that "handsome", but perfectly my type:), never had such kind of feelings when I first saw someone, and I really could not moved my eyes from, even if I knew that he knew I was starring him, I just couldn't help. He got off in downtown, I really wanted to get off with him, even though I didn't know what I was gonna do if I did so. However, I couldn't leave Diane alone on the bus to follow that guy, she will definitely kill me, hehe, so I stayed on the bus. Surprisingly, he turned back when he passed by our window, I can still remember those eyes when he looked at me--if I was by myself at that time, I know I would surely get off the bus. Kind of magic~I did regretted for a quite long time after that until I saw him again after 1 year and a half...

I went to INSEAD for an interview of the MBA application in March 2006, after questioned by a mean professor, I went to the train station to go to Paris for another interview at ENPC. Magically I saw him again at the station, and even more magically he recognized me and began to talk to me--seems that I did gave him an unforgetable impression starring at him last time:) So naturally, we became friend, we went to Paris, and walked around a little bit...And I really began to believe that there's really miracle in this world...lol

A random oppotunity, I met up with some people in INSEAD, and spent almost 2 months there, which we called "United Nation", since students there are from 77 different countries--a really international community--classes were interesting, and that might be the time I worked most in France, and I got a lot of new friends there~

The experiences in Fontainbleau, and at INSEAD are really awesome. I love there, not only because it's a beautiful town, but also because of all the friends I made, the happy days I spent, and the magic things happened there ...I called it " The Miracle of Fontainbleau"...
