France: Some things I noticed

FRANCE | Monday, 30 April 2007 | Views [4924] | Comments [13]

Some interesting things about France

-Their keyboards are really odd. They do not have an underscore anywhere!

- There are public markets all over the place which is the cheapest and best place to buy produce. They move around though, so you have to scout them out.

- Everything is closed Sundays. Like EVERYTHING. They take their ¨Family day¨ very seriously.

- The locals seem quite formal and almost never wear shorts even when it´s hot out. This might be a difference in what counts as hot though.

- The cities look really cool. There is lots of green space and parks all over the place, but they seem very planned and deliberate (the trees are all in a line and are semetrical).

- People let their dogs eliminate on the streets and do not clean it up. It´s weird and a little gross. You get used to it though.


-Everyone speaks French! No, Really!

(ps. If you're using this to write a report, perhaps you should try looking for real sources. This is meant to be a travel blog for family and friends, not as a resource for an essay. Go look in your library, or, if you are in middle school, go to wikipedia.)

Oh... you must have misunderstood its purpose. This is a travel journal for my friends and family so they knew what I was up to. It is not a resource for essays, or supposed to be necessarily very entertaining for anyone except a worried mother. Try the next link on Google.
