weeeeee started the morning with some crappy lecture - a really nice passionate old man was talking about litterature -- wasn't very interesting ... so i spent my morning instead writing creative descriptions on my laptop ...
here are some offff my notes i took trying to write descriptive comparison between australia and france (AND DONT LAUGH hahaha ...i wrote some stuff as well but im not showing u that becauseeeee becuasee..)
"Being yet a nascent culture, bare of the centuries of royal history which characterizes so many European countries, nor the culture or the people were imbued with innate attitudes of propriety. Instead, its attractiveness lay in its casualness and the genuine and unadorned interactions between its inhabitants. There is no obsession with formality, or grandiose diplomacy that underlines their interactions as is the case in grand cities such as Paris.
o sense of grandiose and form
o formality that charactises all their actions
o diplomacy – tactfulness
o for example, bourgeois couldn’t go out into the street without a hat otherwise not a bourgeois"
