It's a running list of France

Love:

The fruit
The constant rain
The beautiful architecture
The pâtisseries/boulangeries/charcuteries
The split pea soup
Notre Dame
Normandy
David
The history written all over the city
The atmosphere at Montmarte
The weird money
Having a house keeper
Public transportation
NO flies
Fromage blanc
High efficiency toilets EVERYWHERE
Le petit déjeuner at hotels
That Halloween is called Helloween
That water/energy-efficient toilets are EVERYWHERE


Dislike:

How fast people talk
No American TV
How far away church is
The tiny washers/dryers
How early everything closes -- 8pm. Ridiculous. Stores don't even close that early in Provo
The lack of good cereal
The lack of cotton balls
The weird money
The separation of the WC and la douche--having to walk down the hall to pee in the morning
Putting my hands on/above the table when I eat
Grapes with seeds
My art history teacher
The rude man at Chartres
Crazy french drivers
That water/energy-efficient toilets aren't always energy/water efficient.
