J\u2019habite en France et je suis venue en vacances chez ma s\u0153ur qui habite \u00e0 Chicago. J\u2019ai d\u00e9couvert Gigi\u2019s Playhouse en me promenant dans la rue. J\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s bien accueillis par les membres du centre qui m\u2019ont tr\u00e8s vite int\u00e9gr\u00e9 aux autres internes. Malgr\u00e9 la barri\u00e8re de la langue, nous arrivons \u00e0 nous comprendre et \u00e0 communiquer. J\u2019adore aller chez Gigi\u2019s car cela me permet de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes et de faire pleins d\u2019activit\u00e9s. Ce que je pr\u00e9f\u00e8re, ce sont les ateliers culinaires. J\u2019aime aussi beaucoup le yoga et les activit\u00e9s artistiques comme faire de la peinture. Tout le monde est tr\u00e8s gentil avec moi et je garderai un tr\u00e8s beau souvenir des moments pass\u00e9s chez Gigi\u2019s.

I live in France and I came on vacation to visit my sister who lives in Chicago. I discovered GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse while walking down the street. I was very well received by the members of the center who very quickly integrated me in with the other interns. Despite the language barrier, we manage to understand each other and communicate. I love going to GiGi&#8217;s because it allows me to meet new people and do lots of activities. What I prefer are the culinary workshops. I also really like yoga and artistic activities like painting. Everyone is very nice to me and I will keep very fond memories of the times spent at GiGi&#8217;s. I will miss you and hope to have the opportunity to see you again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Our Playhouse had a special visitor the past two months named Hafsa!
