I think what
me most about France when I first
was actually how
it is to the
in many ways. It’s very diverse, there are people from everywhere. ..You know people are people everywhere in the world … even if they speak a
language… I was struck by the
of the cities; I think it’s very
in the US and I think it’s beautiful and different and everywhere I go, I just have to look at all the buildings because they are so
constructed and… I think that another thing that struck me, and this is
for me is that stores in France
in the middle of the day and this is not true in the US; stores are open from eight in the morning
time at night, often eight or nine; there are stores that are open until midnight, groceries stores are open
and I,
, that’s something that's been difficult for me but I think that, for the most part, yeah, I’ve been struck by… how similar, everywhere in the world , is and how easy it is to, how easy but
how important it is to
with other people and to be able to do that in English or, you know, now in French, I think it's really neat, I think that I’m learning a lot from the people
and from living here and you know, if I go back to the US, I don’t think I will ever
what I learned living in France, so I think that’s cool.
