...Is the best country in the world. Come and live here.
But seriously, Hi! I'm home!! As you may have guessed.
I'd say the whole "OMG guys I'm SO sorry I didn't write blog posts while I was there but giant french monkeys tied my hands together so I couldn't type..." but really I'm moving on to what this blog should be about, not what could have been.
France was basically the most terrifying and enriching experience I've ever had, and most likely ever will have because doubtfully I will end up staying in a French family's house for six weeks and attend French school etc etc. The things I have learnt... just too many to describe with words or images.
Something that I discussed with the other girls who went on exchange as well on the plane home (which incidentally was one of my favourite parts) was how hard it is to actually describe the differences of France and Australia. We all knew what we meant, we'd all gone through the same thing, but none of us could find words to actually specify our experience as a whole.
Of course, I have about a million stories, so when I tell people about my exchange I'm not left telling the same story over and over and over. But I feel like it would be difficult to actually choose one to write here, I mean, for one thing, I'm quite sure that not all the people who read this blog are from Australia, and therefore wouldn't understand the differences because they would have their own differences, which is of course why we go overseas, if there were no differences then why would we ever travel?
So I'm going to leave it at that - for this post anyway - with France talk. What would be great would be to get some questions from you guys, it's a little easier to answer specific questions than to just write something. So I have about 40 followers and possibly more people actually reading this, it would be lovely to get some questions =) even if it's just asking whether the stereotypes are correct, such as the cheese eating (yes) or arrogance (yes) or 'obsessed with sex' (no. at least not the people i was friends with.)
Allez!
CouCou ^_^
