10 Things

Stealing an idea from Katie (thanks for the inspiration!)

10 Things I Love About France:

1. Baguettes

2. Travelling by train

3. Listening to people speak French

4. The (very brief) moment in a conversation right before the other person realizes that I have an accent

5. Discussions about cultural differences like censorship, political parties, and levels of formality embedded in language

6. How bright vegetables and fruits seem compared to their duller counterparts in the US

7. Access to free or reduced-price things until I'm 26

8. Walking amongst buildings that are older than my country

9. Drinking cider at lunch (sometimes)

10. Finally understanding the difference between rudeness and just French-ness
