First day in the Strasbourg EYC

Days are passing one after another. Life passes in such a fast way that we can't stop it, or at least pause it. This is life and we only have to manage and accomodate with it. This is why I am finding myself in the European Youth Center in Strasbourg again, for a Study Session, regarding of course the Human Rights.
The first day went fine. Starting with a great sunny morning and of course the most important thing which is the brekfast, the day went just fine.
In fact, I really miss the doorman here who each morning used to wake us up with his usual : "Good morning, Good morning! It's 8 o'clock and time to get up! The breakfast will be served at half past eight" and also the same song in French. This morning was a very sad one with only "it's 8 o'clock, please get up" or something like.
Today was an introduction day: the timetable, the Concile of Europe, the house, the rules and of course, in the evening, our movements.
I had a journey today to the main building and I must confess I was in doubt about this new face of Strasbourg European Institution Neighbourhood. They are now installing a new tram line near the European Parliament and the Human Rights Palace and that's why the old way to go to the main building is not available for the moment, hopefully it will be something nice when they'll finish. I am certain of that. And of course I must say that I am pleasently surprised to see that they did a great job in just 18 months. A totaly new face of this part of the city.
I am now ending hoping I didn't bore you yet :D and hoping that altough for tommorow the weather forecast is predicting rains, to have at least during lunch break time the possibility to ride the bike, which were not available last year and which we can't use this year due to the weather conditions.
