Des Leçons

I am learning some very important things here in France.

1. Wifi service is intended for the public areas, not bedrooms, so when I am downstairs it is actually really fast.

2. French people are much less anxious and busy than Americans, but they are also much less friendly. They're very patient with my limited French, but they don't reach out and try to help if I don't ask questions. So, it's better to flounder like an idiot than sit quietly and plead for assistance with my eyes.

3. To look French, all one has to do is squint his/her eyes and scowl faintly.

I can't wait to see your "French look" when you get home.
