Right, I’ve got all that I needed to get done. In only 40 minutes too, that’s pretty good. Actually I didn’t have much to do, just get that photo printed (they have kiosks everywhere that do that – it took a while to find though) and I found a photocopier. So 0,40€ later, I have everything done. It was actually 0,50€ because the photo machine didn’t give change. I already had some ID photos so that was lucky. Otherwise the total would have been a whopping 4,50€!

I’m not sure whether I should order breakfast here in the morning. I guess I kind of have to. No other choice. Plus it comes with a paper. I can get it for 6:30 and then head downstairs. How exciting.

Right, now I’m going to try and find me some dinner. I do hope that I’ll be able to see a bit of Marseille tomorrow but I’m not counting on it. I don’t even know what time I’ll be able to get home. We’ll see.

Hello. I have chosen something pretty big to open my blog with. I am sitting in a hotel room in Marseille. At the moment, hundreds of wannabe French popstars are downstairs. It’s 5:22pm by the way. Quite late in the day. Why am I here in Marseille? Because it’s the auditions for Nouvelle Star! And what is Nouvelle Star, I hear many of you ask? It’s French Idol. I wanted to make an impact on French culture, and this is the way I’m going to do it.

Tomorrow morning, at 8:00am, I am supposed to turn up downstairs and sing my heart out. I’m supposed to bring ID and a photocopy and an ID photo and a normal photo. Of course I am stupid and forgot to bring any of those. Well, I do have ID. But no copy. And no photo. So I am going to go out in a few minutes and find a photocopier and a photo printing place. It’s 5:24. I’m not hopeful. Actually the hotel probably has a photocopier come to think of it. And possibly a business centre for printing. Anyway I am off to do that.
