okay so let me just say now that french keyboards are ridiculous, so this entry won't be very long. the keys are out of order and the symbols are completely different. i'm going to separate this entry into categories:
french cars: they are tiny. the biggest one i've seen is one of those small bmw suv's. french drivers are insane... pedestrians DO NOT have the right of way, in any situation. they also use their bumpers to judge parallel parking... they back up until they hit the car behind them, then pull up to hit the one in front of them, then stop. oh and tow trucks are incredible here... they pick up the cars with a giant magnet thingy!
french people: most seem to be very rude, but once you talk to them are usually nicer. no one says excuse me when they bump into you, but that's just the way they roll. i would like to personally squash the rumor that french men are unattractive... of course there are uglies, but there are uglies in america, too. some of the french men here are the most beautiful men i've ever seen. including the one i met last night who's taking me to a party tonight. he BARELY speaks english, but as he told me, he speaks the universal language... hon hon hon (that was a french laugh)... oh yeah and he's beautiful.
okay that's enough for now... more later... it's time for me to drink my 4€ (about $5) bottle of awesome wine and wait for my frenchman!
