In episode 193, Dani tells us about what brings her to France, how to get in to the Bibliothèque National de France (French National Library) and whether her French has improved since
arriving, then recounts some tales of her trips around Europe, including Belgium (we love our Belgian listeners, but apparently Dani went to Brussels on a day when everyone got out of the wrong side
of the bed, or maybe it's just the men that are a bit sleazier than we're used to?), Venice and Poland (Krakow, Auschwitz & Birkenau). We chat a bit about how it feels to see the physical
consequences of the various wars in Europe, then Dani tells us how she's been taking advantage of living in Paris, including doing chocolate tours! So, of course, we have to do a chocolate tasting,
and discuss lots of chocolate-related things! This episode was brought to you by the word "un choux de Bruxelles" (a Brussels sprout).
