Pork rind of the Web, not to remove but taste with relish…

I am French abroad…

1 comment for the moment

And here, that made one year that I am in Ireland.

Ca makes one year that I battle to include/understand certain Irish.

Ca makes one year that I go to the job with my super bicycle (which starts to rust).

Ca makes one year that I go religieusement each week to the pub.

Ca makes one year that I live in the same house.

Ca makes one year that I undergone the weather Irish (see on the tag weather;)).

Ca makes one year that I am far from my family.

Ca makes one year that I am expatriate!

What to be French abroad? I will not turn around the pot during two hours, approximately, to be French abroad, it is class!

Above all, for a reason X or Y, we have a reputation of seducers (trices), which helps enormously for any human relation…

According to not-French, here is the table which it is made of “modern” French:

• eat well
• cook well
• listen to good music
• taste has to get dressed
• like the literature
• a cheese with the odor recognizes
• adore Edith Piaf and/or Mireille Mathieu
• has a rotted English accent but it is most beautiful of the world
• is tempting (trice)
• is badly shaven if it is a man, super nice if it is a girl
• lives either in Paris or in Provence
• eat frog thighs regularly
• knows there very well out of wines
• ensure the bed
• inevitably went once on the Eiffel lathe
• like cheese
• eat snails regularly
• adore the foot

Thus nevertheless… One could trail oneself with quite worse pans with respect to the foreigners!!!

With all that, one can thus summarize, that to be expatriate, it is class!

And yet, it is not the ridiculous one which misses with our common features:

• we are in the world to only pronounce the English words with our pronunciation. (you known as “Microsoft” or “Maïïcwosoft”???)
• we are null in languages
• the popcorn in microwaves is far from widespread on our premises (an invention extra that!!!)
• we are chauvinistic
• we accomodate the foreigners very badly
• our strikes absolutely ridiculous and are ridiculed abroad, and that is legitimate! (the guide of routard of English Paris mentions each way the RATP with a star: “* in the event of strike prefer a taxi”)
• one lost the world cup vis-a-vis in Italy… (with each Italian whom one crosses in evening, they release us a” Campeon LED mundo!!!! ”)
• our stores have super schedules skimped (with when open Tesco 24/24 and 7j/7 in France???)
• we have an extraordinary number of films of shit, and people will see them…
• we administratively speaking are very delayed… (to ask for a number of sécu in Ireland takes maximum 1:00… Or to create its company takes 10 min… Experiment lived for both!)

You have ideas to add with these lists??? do not hesitate in the comments!
