So, you may have seen my recent appreciation of the male French form from facebook today. Love that they require males to wear Speedos. Who knew that the wimpish French form could look so appealing in a Speedo? Well, sign me up. I'm a fan. As to the women and their topless stuff at kids' pools, not a fan. Just a little too disturbing to me. "Hey Mom, can Jack and I go get a soda?" Seriously, really not a fan of the topless thing. Then again, I don't have the goods to do it right either!
French men and boys wear Capris here, not a fan. Long single braids like a rat-tail are popular here, not a fan. Everyone rides a bike here, huge fan. No one in France has a muffler for their scooters or mopeds. Not a fan. No one in France realizes that they can leave first gear on their scooter or moped...not a fan. Had my first chocolate eclair ever in France...HUGE fan. Had French made lasagne with green peas in it (reminds me of how Mom used to sneak them into everything), not a fan. Gang fights, late night street yelling, French sirens, not a fan. Courtesy to pedestrians, loving close families that share 3 to a bike to school (!), big fan. Lots to choose from. France is definitely not for everyone, but it does have its merits. Have to say, Blessed to be American. Love and miss you.

Love this post! You sound like someone living there instead of a tourist. The Fan...Not a Fan is hilarious.
