Can I just say that the Bal de Pompiers was a million times better than I expected? The only thing was that I wished I would've been there with some girlfriends instead of my date - there were majorly hot firemen everywhere and I felt like DANCING. We went to the Ball at the Porte de Champerret Fire Station. The place was absolutely huge, with two different stage areas and a champagne room. Another guy there was telling me that they were the biggest brigade in Paris and judging by the number of firemen there, I can definitely believe it. Out of respect for my date, I didn't really take any pictures of the firemen, but to give you an idea of what it's like at the end of the night, here are few from the Internets:As for the date itself - it was actually alright. He was a nice guy, we have a lot in common (he travels for work, has studied in Finland, etc) and I think he may be one of the first guys to get a second date. So for now, I am over-looking the fact that he is from Bretagne... ;)
