Bonjour!

Guess it's time for my daily posting. I have a reputation to keep up here.

So what is new?

Well... I would like to take the time to talk about the French male's obsession with the word romantic. I have heard this word at least 11 times from French men randomly talking to me. It's quite interesting how it works. I will just be walking down the street and suddenly there is some French guy walking right next to me, talking to me about whatever. Inevitably the word romantic gets thrown into the conversation at least twice. So I have to ask, what is it with this word? Could the French people really be so preoccupied with love? Am I just really jaded here?

Nah... In my theory the French guys have figured out that if they start talking about romance, the American women can't help but sleep with them. They simply can't do anything about it.

Except of course for me, who inevitably starts to laugh and walks away. These French people are hopeless.

On another note, yesterday evening turned out to be pretty amusing. I went with three other girls to go pick up one of their friends at the train station. Go figure as we were switching from the metro to the RER on the way back, somebody left one of their bags in the station. The people running it ended up freaking out about it and they evacuated the whole station leaving us slightly stranded. So naturally the only thing we could do was head to a pub next door. While we were sitting there we heard this big bang from inside the building. It was probably them just blowing up the bag, but that won't be how I tell it to my children.

And now an ode to cheese:

Or not...

yet at least :)
