10 cup o' culture ii.

more culture-y things i have learned in the city of paris.

1. there are seeds in all grapes. eat the seeds.
2. kid/razor scooters. they are everywhere and everyone uses them, kids and adults alike.
3. smoke in front of your kids. it has to be good for them.
4. when choosing a lane to drive in, drive in the middle. then after getting frustrated with the slow car in the slow lane, you change lanes effortlessly because you already called dibs in the fast lane too. everyone thinks theyre a good driver.
5. latest fashion: tights. tights with boots, tights with shorts!, tights with flats, tights with skirts. wear tights.
6. everyone dresses pretty nice here. no sweatshirts, loose jeans, or sandals. i really do not understand how they are comfortable, but they look pretty darn cute. my wardrobe is not up to paris standards.
7. its nice, they have hotdogs here. very american. but, the hotdogs come in baguettes. very french. (they de-hole the baguette and shove the hotdog inside. none of this open face stuff)
8. the young french people looooove “how i met your mother”!
9. on a sunny day, all of paris is outside. or at least it feels like that many people are outside. but actually, i have heard many parisians say to me that it is best to be outside to take advantage of the nice sunny days before the clouds cover us in. good obvious advice.
10. at the cinéma, they have this unlimited program. pay about twenty euros a month to watch as many movies as you can in month. i love it. an enhanced and legal concept of movie hopping.
