It’s Day 4 of my year here in France, so here are the things I found surprising/notable upon entering into the country and it’s culture, before I get all used to it and it’s not surprising/notable anymore.
No, you can not see the Eiffel Tower from everywhere in Paris. The radios here play the same hits as they did back home, only sometimes they’ll redo a chorus in French. No-one has heard of peanut butter, but thank goodness there is Nutella. Grass really does appear greener on this side of the globe. And the trees are bigger. MacDonald’s exists. As does Burger King. There are baguettes and cheese at every meal. The cows are white.
And I think I like it here very much.
Allo Sarah! Je suis fière de toi, tu as beaucoup de courage de t'aventurer ainsi; comme tu le sais, plusieurs jeunes de ton âge auraient de la difficulté à s'éloigner de leur famille et amis...je crois que cette expérience sera une des meilleures de ta vie. Tu n'auras aucun regret. Alexandrine aussi aimerait partir pour une aventure de ce genre.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the baguette and cheese, I miss the cheeses the most when I'm not in Quebec...
