Miam miam?
Suzie got stuck in a bathroom cubicle and we had a hard time figuring out the cleaner’s instructions on which way to turn the handle.
I speak French (slowly and badly) all the time!
The French, to my initial confusion, drive on the wrong side of the road (though I have always thought that ‘keep right’ sounds much more logical than ‘keep left’).
I admit to the fact that having a sense of superiority is probably the best feeling in the world, especially when you’re being talked to like a ‘special’ three year old (though I’d cry if they talked to me in any other way) for most of the day. Basically, English class is legen-wait-for-it-and-I-hope-you’re-not-lactose-intolerant-‘cause-the-next-word-is-DA(I)RY. Also: French kids are amazing at English. They're having a debate about the death penalty in English next lesson. As is the teacher. I thought she was English until told otherwise.
When I told a group of French people (in French!) that I not only had a kangaroo in my backyard but that I ride it and that I brought it to France in my suitcase they believed me. (Though another group of French people who were shamelessly eavesdropping were snickering.)
Apparently the French love to skip work and chill in the city waving flags for no particular reason.
School is hard in France. Seriously. They have four hour tests every week. They don’t talk. At all. Hushed whispers when they’re feeling rebellious. And everyone actually works! And does their homework. EVERYONE. Also they have blackboards! Fully equiped with chalk!
Lyon is stunning. But more (read: pictures) on that later.
