I do tend to write when I am angry.<br /><br />Expet-Ah, French public offices are hell, hell, and more hell for everyone.<br /><br />Rebecca-Are you as busy as I am?!<br /><br />Jules-Stick with your first impression.

How could you live in Paris and bitch about it? I also thought if you were so miserable, why not just go home? However, I kept reading and as I got to see your life more clearly I can understand why you stay and what you get out of it. And you are absolutely correct, it is your space and you should continue to say whatever you feel. I find it refreshing and honest.Boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377737590795007067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12043376.post-92011468983711311272006-10-17T17:40:00.000+02:002006-10-17T17:40:00.000+02:00I loved that post.

These same people could be told to not read your blog if they don't like it.<br /><br />I enjoy your diary- I particularly like the truth in it. We all have romantic ideas of Paris but the reality can't be as ideal as our imaginations want it to be. It's good to see the warts with the beauty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12043376.post-73853871188066075532006-10-16T12:12:00.000+02:002006-10-16T12:12:00.000+02:00I think the "Why did you move there if you don't s...I think the "Why did you move there if you don't speak the language" question is particularly bizarre, since that's exactly what you need to do to really be able to learn and speak a language well. Pimsleur tapes are nice, but they don't quite cut it. <br /><br />I laughed out loud at your "France, what a horrible country, I think I will move there" comment. A couple of my friends and I have been talking about the whole lack of a welcome wagon thing that happens here when people first arrive. It's really a 'figure it out yourself' kind of an experience, especially if you're on your own.Pardon My Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11097929973860968006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12043376.post-88264817162930274562006-10-15T19:26:00.000+02:002006-10-15T19:26:00.000+02:00Write about whatever you like, girl.

This is a well-thought out and articulate post and although France hasn't been a bed of roses, by not running away I think you've shown everyone you've got both guts and determination. And about being "touched" by a bit of the bizarre, it sure makes life interesting, doesn't it? ;)Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12043376.post-21178245344776953582006-10-14T17:46:00.000+02:002006-10-14T17:46:00.000+02:00Hey cara, have you popped yet?
