The French...

1. Speak French. weird.
2. Ride RAZOR scooters everywhere -- I mean, Americans DID do that, but it's really big in Paris right now apparently. I have seen whole families scooter-ing down streets.
3. Have free bikes on various street (well, they're like 1euro, so they're basically free) for you to take out for a day or an hour or whatever. So environmentally-conscious.
4. Make out in public shamelessly.
5. Steal my money. No, not pick-pocketers -- restaurant owners, etc.
6. Listen to American music, only. I have probably only heard like 3 french songs since I've been here.
7. Don't tip at bars or restaurants, but that's because they also don't pay their waiters/waitresses/bartenders a fifth of the minimum wage.
8. Appreciate Americans a lot more than I expected.
9. Have cute children.
10. Do not smell bad as far as I can tell.
11. Really like Orangina, and so do I.

more to come.
