Like a few of my friends have warned me, the biggest change moving to France is the language—seeing signs and hearing chatter in a language I can’t understand is kind of alienating, but also kind of hilarious (rapid French really does sound like gibberish). Here are some other unusual things I’ve noticed in Paris that are going to take some getting used to:
1.. People use actual scooters, like Razors, functionally. Like to get to work, or to get home after a drink. Seriously.
2. Mimes are real, and they sometimes wear blue lipstick.
3. Policemen by the Louvre wear roller blades…to catch the art bandits faster?
4. Seeing the Eiffel Tower on my walk to school, although I don’t think I’ll ever get over that.
5.This whole European handheld shower thing. That's going to take some time.
