cat discovers bubbles, is mesmerized and overwhelmed with emotions and wonder
Just your regular monday night at our home
Cat reacts to seeing bubbles for the first time. It started with slight fear and caution but the cat very soon turns curious and finds them mesmerizing. Cat is really in the moment, vibing to the music and to the mysterious balls appearing out of thin air, slowly descending, and quickly disappearing before she could make sense of it.

"Honestly I'm so sick of school but I was also sick of living in the US so I decided do grad school in France as a way to move and settle here" - explains exactly how I feel lol! Applying and researching now, thanks for sharing this video ((:
Thank you so much, dear. I noticed that things are written in french on the site, so how does one who doesn't speak french yet cope with that??
Hi dear. Your videos are lovely. You definitely have a new subscriber!! How did you cope with the language barrier when you first arrived. Since you didn't speak any french.
How you find your apartment?
How did you cope when you first moved?? Especially with the language barrier. Or did you already know how to speak french??
Hi, I am an engineet going to start my work in Toulose. I am from India
Omg you’re from Va? I’m currently living in va and my husband and I have been talking about moving to Toulouse when he gets out of the navy… hence why I’m watching this
Great video thanks, as an american studying in Lyon for the same reason, bon courage :)
How was it moving to Toulouse? How does it compare to Paris?
I lived in Toulouse before moving to Paris, so coming back actually felt like back to safety/comfort and a breath of fresh air haha Although there's much much less to explore than in Paris so it can be boring sometimes.. but I can just travel to other nearby cities/countries for that!
Nice sharing 👍
Thanks I love sharing my cat with you all
I miss Toulouse so much such a lovely city
Can you do videos about aesthetic places to visit in Toulouse 👽 because I'm living near Toulouse it's called Villemursur-tarn and I really want to explore
Hey! Thank you for the super informative and helpful video!! Did your bachelor's have any relation to what you studied for your masters? I studied English in college but am wanting to pivot to IT/computer science for masters in France. We'll see how that goes haha. Best.
Hello dear, I want to apply for internship visa and the consulate asked me for the campusfrance, how can i get it? Thankssss
The music and the visuals are more entertaining. I had to play 1:14 5 times to pay attention to the story you’re telling and a few more to understand it. Idk what or how you can tweak things. 😅
welcome to "The parade of twits"
You said, You put so much effort on learning French. You went to American expensive university and did 1 year French course. You live in France and your boyfriend is French. Everyday you're dealing with French. I believe that You could be a best French teacher for us. I mean You can teach us French through your CZcams channel. As your English is super good i believe it will help so many international students as well as french learners. Your efforts on learning French will be worth it. Because oneday You will be in the list of R.I.P. But your helpful french learning videos will keep you alive forever. I know, You're busy as you're an app developer and you have also your personal life but A warm request to you "Kindly teach us french as much as you know".

I know you posted this 2 years ago, but you're literally a life savior to me now in 2023! I've been searching for the "apply here" button for a month now and couldn't find it. They currently changed the website slightly, but still, if it wasn't for this video I'd be still searching. You made it look so easy 😅 Thanks! a new subscriber to your channel from Lebanon ❤
I'm glad it was at least a little helpful for you!!! :) It's a shame the process is not very well explained or documented

Hi, I'm an american expat living and working remotely in France as well, found your channel searching expat vlogs because I've been thinking about getting into that myself.
