007 ~ One hospital is like another [Action/Dictated]
[So, it's time for work!
And, after a long and complicated Métro ride into the centre of Paris, and a bus to the banks of the Seine, Dr. Carson Beckett finally finds Saint-Pierre Infirmerie, where he was supposed to be working as a locum A&E doctor. He flops in behind his desk, making sure his pager is easily viewable, should he be called to an emergency, and takes out his journal.]
So, who else is starting their first day in Paris without being able to read or speak a bloody word of French?
Aye, everyone here speaks English, but I swear they're bloody talking about me behind my back... And all the labels are in French, too.
((OOC: Feel free to come into A&E with some odd injuries, or to just bug him. Open for voice over journal, or action at the hospital. Also, happy to forward-date, if wanted. Carson is also on-call, so happy to accept random calls in the middle of the night, either by journal or phone!))

Dictated
If it's any consolation, Dr.Beckett...I don't understand or speak french either. So I know how you feel. Heh.
Dictated
It's just so bloody complicated.
[He had a nose about the store cupboards and the Pharmacy to get a decent bearing]

Maybe...they could help you.

no subject
So it's just a matter of waiting until some others show up.
no subject
So, what did you get assigned? [Topic change!]
no subject
[Slight chuckle.]
For a bakery. It...isn't really much different from what I was doing at home for the most part.
Only I don't really understand...any of the addresses. Or orders. Or what most of the food is called either.
no subject
[He pauses] A tourist map might help with the addresses.
no subject
How much do those usually cost? Cause...um.
[He's kind've a moneyless hobo.]
no subject
Sometimes the Tourist Information point has free ones.
no subject
Failing that the tourist information point seems like the best option...I'm really not used to being in a foreign country, eheh.
no subject
[If you ask him what the Stargate address to M2X-232 is, he'd likely be able to tell you, but he'll be damned if he knows where a place is in Paris.]

no subject
Uh, from my perspective, I mean. I'm...from the year 2007, so...back home, that is.
no subject
We're not that technologically advanced. We were just lucky in finding the Stargate.
no subject
If you don't mind me asking though, what is a stargate?
no subject
no subject
Publicly, anyway...
