my first night here was a typical french dinner . TYPICAL in that we began eating at 9 PM and ended at 12:30 OR 0:30 as they use military time here.
i smoked at the table after dinner and even though i was encouraged by ,y french parents (nicole et francois) i had to keep reminding myself that i’m an adult and it is fine.
some things i noticed:
It is the culture to joke about each others flaws or quarks.
they spoke about politicians in human terms. APPARENTLY THE presidents wife has made a cuckold of him.
they did not know that in america we understand that a man wearing a speedo is either gay or european. This got big laughs and earnest gasps.
SPORTS IS SERIOUS. they told me soccer is a game of gentlemen played by theives and rugby is a game of thieves played by gentlemen.

i’m still adjusting to my room and being so solitary. I’m excited to speak the language and i can pick up some words already.
CELLPHONE companies do not charge you for a call received. only for a call made.
LOOKING french means having a nice pair of designer jeans. I’m on it. they are more daring with their fashion. i’m excited.
