Hey everyone!
I have been really busy lately trying to plan stuff and dealing with social security things and general Max absurdity. But I'm almost at the 3 month mark so I felt the need to do a quick update. I don't have time to write a bunch of adventures that have happened and do them all justice. So instead, here is a list of English words and phrases that I need the French to learn or have an equivalent of:
1) Sketchy
2) Jankity
3) Blasted
4) Ay gurrr
5) Aight
6) Ballin
7) You suck
8) Scrilla
9) Trippin
10) Geronimo
There you go. Those are preventing me from fully expressing myself. Now, I need to get back to planning 2 weeks in Italy.
Salut, Max. Ça va?
ReplyDeleteI've never commented, but I'm having fun reading about the adventures and living vicariously. Hope you're having a good time and taking plenty of baths.
What's the weirdest thing about living over there, or how have you had the most trouble adapting?
Keep on postin' and keeping us updated.
Hey Holcombe! Ca va.
ReplyDeleteNo worries about baths. I have all that stuff down pat at this point.
The hardest thing to adapt to here are the little differences. Things that you would never expect to worry about and alone are nothing. But they all kinda add up and remind you how different a place can be yet so like home. For example, I had the hardest time understanding stores because I'm so used to Wal-Mart and Fred's. Here you have to go 4 different stores if you want a loaf of bread, shampoo, contact cleaner, and chicken.
But the things you expect to be the hardest, like the whole socialism thing, are actually much easier. I pay 12 euro a month for student healthcare and then I pay no taxes anywhere.
Anyways, I'll be sure to post more adventures on here soon. I'm working at going to Italy for 2 weeks on Saturday.
