The Strasbourg Bucket List
As this week comes to a close, it means that there are only about five weeks left in the Bourg. No, I’m not panicking (just yet), instead I’ve decided to take action! Inspired by my good friend, Jackie (www.londonswag.tumblr.com), I created my very own bucket list of things to do before going back to the States! I’m going to try my best to cross everything off on this list (although more things might be added, in case I miss them) and of course, I’ll be updating about them every step of the way! Also, Strasbourg has began its Christmas preparations, which has bestowed deeper motivation for me to get out and experience all that Alsace has to offer, with the most important event being the world-famous Christkindelsmärik (German) Marché de Noël (French) or in plain english, Christmas Market which starts on the 26th of November.
- Go to Christkindelsmärik!
- Go to the ballet
- Climb the stairs to the top of the Cathédrale
- Attend mass at the Cathédrale
- Dinner on one of the boats by the Gallia tram stop
- Go to the Musée d’Art Moderne
- Find anything that says “Strasbourg aime ses étudiantes”
- Go to an Erasmus party
- Send a postcard to the States
- Eat pain d’epices (gingerbread)
- Eat a tarte flambée
- Go to Chinenye’s house in Schiltigheim
- Rent a bike for a day
- Go to Kehl, Germany
- Buy some vintage good at Le léopard
- Eat a cheap lunch at the University cafeteria
- Buy something Alsatian
- Go to Parc d’Orangerie
- Go to the Science Museum
- See a movie at CinéCité
- Attend a concert at L’artichaut
- Have a picnic along the River Ill
- Go to the Botanical garden
So the list is a little daunting since there’s only about five or so weeks left…. But I’m determined as ever to get these tasks done. Let’s see how this goes! Bonne chance!
