France

France, an enemy nation, all but officially.

What is the reason for the huge cultural divide between France and the rest of the civilized world? I think perhaps the French are just misunderstood. (They do speak French, after all.) This blog will help explain the rich history, culture, and tradition of one of the world's most existent nations.

The most important thing in France is the Eiffel Tower. It is visited by millions of tourists each year. The tower is over 1000 feet tall. a penny thrown from the top could kill somebody, but that is not why most people go. Instead they go simply for the view, or sometimes just to stop and ask for directions.

The other main place to go in France is the Louvre. It is a popular museum where you can see tons of great art, so great that you are not allowed to touch it. (and they're serious about that, not like when you go to the Smithsonian.) The Louvre also now has a McDonalds.

a lot of people claim that the French do not take baths, but that is just a STEREOTYPE. I do not know why anybody would perpetuate such a hurtful generalization. Maybe it's because French people are always rude to everyone, but so what? That is just their way.


***The TRUTH about FRENCH COOKING***

1) French fries

Do they eat them? YES.
Do they like them? NO.

2) French toast

Do they eat it? NO.
Do they like it? NO.

3) French bread pizza

Do they eat it? YES.
Do they like it? YES.

So that clears that up, hopefully.


Want to be a French person for Halloween? All you need is a scarf, a beret, and a mustache! If you want to go the extra mile, get some cigarettes and a monocle. Cute costume for any young kid right there.

Fun fact: The Statue of Liberty was actually a GIFT from FRANCE! They built this big statue, but then came up with the idea for the Eiffel Tower instead, so they gave the statue to us because in those times America was still kind of starting out and didn't have a lot of monuments or landmarks yet. It's like when you buy a new flatscreen TV for yourself and give your old bulky-but-pretty-big one to your cousin that just moved into his first apartment. Statue of Liberty all up on cinderblocks, visitors having to enter through a beaded curtain...
