6. Galeries Lafayette 

The Galeries Lafayette consist out of three big buildings spread over 70.000 m² over three floors. It's the largest international women's fashion department with  circa 350 brands coming from all over the world. This is what makes the department store so famous. The Galeries offers the latest fashion creations for everybody. Their terrace is a great place for picknicking and enjoying the great view. 

Location: 40 Boulevard Haussmann, 75009 Paris, France 

Opening hours: 9.30 AM - 8.00 PM (Thursdays till 9.00PM)

What we loved about it: Their terrace - free views of the Eiffeltower and Paris

On top of that it's worth a stroll through it, starring at all those sparkling shops.

1. We are speaking up to 3 different languages per day (and with each other)

        

Even if we are both German, we speak up to 3 languages per day. Christian grew up bilingual, that means he speaks Dutch and German fluently. His parents just spoke German to him but since he went to a Dutch preschool/elementary school & high school he knows both. Most of his friends are Dutch (but also speak a bit German). When we're there, we are both speaking Dutch. Since I work as a Babysitter in American Families, I speak English with them. At home we both speak German. In school it's a mix between German & Dutch. 

2. My boyfriend is younger than me.

Yap, that's true! In the beginning I thought its awful to have a relationship with somebody who is younger than I am but I really got learned, that it is not bad at all. In fact, he is 1 year, 4 month, 1 week and one day younger than me. But seriously, you just have to feel comfortable with yourself and don't let others talk bad about man who are younger than yourself. In a good relationship age doesn't count at all! ヅ
