Random things I've noticed about France and wanted to tell you but never found the right moment to mention it

Random France facts:

1) the sausage here is covered in this white powdery tough texture thing
2) people smoke cigarettes in waves of 2 (sometimes 3) but never just one
3) popcorn is really hard to find.. THEY DON'T EVEN SELL IT AT THE MOVIE THEATRES!! ok well some do, but the one i went to did NOT!
4) Apparently Marseille is well known for making soap
5) Buses have two doors here. One in the front and one in the middle. Odd.
6) OH! they dont use normal paper here... like the normal college-ruled paper with three holes? nope, doesnt exist here. All their paper looks like gridpaper you would use in geometry class and has FOUR holes
7) Boobs are everywhere. Especially on postcards
8) Public toilets cost 30 centimes and are probably the worst experience you will ever have you life... but it is definately something you just HAVE to do.
9) Especially around here, REAL ESTATE offices ( called Immobiliers) are a dime a dozen. Just on my walk from my house to the beach, I pass 9.
10) Same goes for Pharmacies. Although they are not called Walgreens, there is SERIOUSLY one of every corner.

to be continued.....

  2. Don't understand the "boob" comment. But you have definitely got my attention. What kind of sausage do they have? pork, beef Is it tasty? sweet? You know I love the stuff. Ireland is definitely noted for sausages. They love the stuff. They've got sausage links and sausage patties and black and white blood pudding, which I really liked. I'm hungry. Talk later. Kitchen is calling. Love Daddy

  3. Maybe I need to send you some more popcorn! As for the sausage, it sounds like they are trying to steer you away from meat, probably to "yogurt". :)
