After a day of (a bit of) revision LA and I decided to explore a new out of town club, La Villa Rouge. MISTAKE. When we arrived at about half past 12 there was a fairly large queue outside which we thought looked promising. However, after entering we soon realised that almost everyone there was either a) gay b) lesbian c) cross dresser or d) midget and the DJ was playing some truly awful electro to make matters worse. We did a couple of tours of the place before deciding to stand by the dancefloor and watch the weird and wonderful people. However, eventually a 5ft tall 40 year old Chinese man we had been surreptitiously watching came over to try to chat LA up, and put in a good word for his friend to me. We decided it was time to move on and went downstairs to the 'Cat's Club', although personally I think 'Bar-Dancing-Weed Club' would have been a more appropriate name. During our time in there we saw the biggest joint i've ever seen; a man who almost set his shirt on fire when he threw it into a patio heater and LA was singled out by a gay 'policeman' who was dancing provocatively on the bar with his truncheon. No that is not a euphemism thank god. We decided to leave early and caught the 2h30 bus back to town.
The next day we decided to watch the Montpellier rugby league team as we had received a message from the Erasmus group saying students could get in free. We met AL and two other girls at the tram stop and headed over to the stadium. It was quite a shock when we arrived and saw the stadium; for a team playing in the top league in France I was expecting something a bit bigger than Wisbech Town FC's stadium. But we found some seats in the sun (supposedly 14C but I had my shirt sleeves rolled up) and tried to figure out which team was Montpellier. Sadly we lost 50-0, which was slightly disappointing and was compounded by the fact that I almost got hit by a ball until AL leapt up and attempted to punch it to safety. LA however, was having a great time, heckling and gesturing at certain players and flirting with a member of the opposition. In order to get over this shocking defeat we went and had churros and vin chaud at the market afterwards.

Tingols Bar Dancing Weed Club? Potentially the worse name I've ever heard...
