You say tomato, we say le tomato

Differences #2

-Some doorknobs are huge here, and in the center of the door, not on the side.

-The public trashcans are just a hoop with a bag and not big, old, ugly cans, like in America (no offense).

-The recycling bins are huge! They look like spaceships, but not in the form of a flying saucer.

A New Columnist!

We are pleased to announce a wonderful new voice to our bloggy little indulgence, the one and only Goldilocks! We've been making here keep a daily journal of her trip (a habit she seems to be enjoying), but she's here today with a soon to be regular column; the differences between Paris and Home. So without further fanfare, here is her inaugural piece:


Differences

#1: There are no fire hydrants whatsoever in Paris from what I’ve seen so far.

#2: Dogs are everywhere here in Paris, and most are small and they’re all so tame that a few (most! - Jack) of the dogs we see here aren’t on leashes and still don’t go up to you, like in the States.

#3: There are two separate bathrooms in the apartment, one called the bathroom, where you take a shower or a bath and wash your hands, and then there’s a toilette where you go to the bathroom, and, of course, it has a sink.

The French are so clever with #3!

do you know how hard it is to get a photo of a
leashless dog, without looking like a weirdo?
