Oddities

Here's the start of a list that I will be compiling to describe some "cultural differences" between France and the U.S.

1. Instead of pulling open a door to go inside you push instead (poussez in french, prounced poosay haha)
2. At school there are only holes in the ground for toilets, they're very clean and my quads get a good workout each time but my question is...what happens if you have to go number two?
3. The so called world wide web isn't world wide. A lot of the sites I use at home only work in the U.S.
4. When drinking tea, tea bags are put directly into the tea pot with the hot water instead of putting the tea bag in your cup first then pouring the hot water over it
5. It is polite to say Bonjour and Au Revoir to literally every single person you see, yet if a woman with a stroller runs over your toe on the bus, causing massive amounts of bleeding and some choice swear words in both french and english, she will NEVER say excuse me
6. Smiling too much is considered weird. If a girl smiles at a guy in a bar in france that's an open invitation!
