things i've discovered while in france

Bonjour. Bienvenue. Welcome to my 'Welcome to France' blog.
I'm 7 weeks into my French life but starting on time would have been un-caractéristique of me.

Brief recap of my visit thus far/ most frequently practiced activities :

Wandering the streets of Paris
Being objectified by men and women alike as I wander the streets of Paris
(or so my paranoia tells me)
Eating cheese, chocolate and all things fattening
Boire-ing l'apero
Koko-lovin'
Fending off recurrent and/ or stress induced maladies
Wearing dark purple lipstick
Being mistaken for a francaise lest I speak
And most recently--expounding all personal information about my life to confused, French youngins.

The times? It's been good, it's been bad, and when I had a huge cold sore on my face that erupted just before the assistants orientation, it was ugly.

But I prefer to remain positive...and so I start off my first blog entry with select few discoveries of things I think are coo'
