The French languageis accompanied by little mannerisms that differ from what I am used to in America. For example, it is common to use your lips to make a "pft" sound, or say things like "bon," "bah oui," or "ouais" to fill the gap when speaking.
In France, coins are used very often for purchasing items. The French love exact change. If something is 4.20 euros and you pay with five euro, then they might ask if you have 20 centimes so they can make easier change.
The euro remains low at 1.07 exchange rate to the American dollar. So the water bottle is still at a relatively low cost of .89 cents.
Even though the food in Paris is amazing, sometimes I also miss comfort food that reminds me of America. This week my friend Audrey and I were both craving Mexican food, and conveniently a Chipotle opened up near school! It was being built all throughout the first semester and it opened on my birthday! There is another small restaurant very close to my residence called Mr. Tacos. The tacos there are delicious! However, the tacos there are interesting because they aren't tacos like they are in America; they are actually burritos. But they are still yummy all the same!
