I'm going to France for the first time in less than a week and I hope to not only gain a better understanding of French language but the culture as well.
My blog's going to change to reflect this as I explore topics in French culture and compare American culture to that of French.
Topics I want to cover include:
- Race
- Dating
- Sarkozy
- Immigration
- The Colonial Past
- Materialism & Money
- Gender and the role of women
- American Dream vs European Dream
- Misc. differences between French and American society
I would really like to film my adventures in Europe but I don't have enough money to buy a camera worth purchasing, nor do I believe that the school that I will be studying at has any A/V equipment. So I'm going to rely on photos and possibly transcribe interviews from a tape-recorder (oy).
Excited to see what the next 8 weeks hold for me!

I'm very excited for you! I'm thinking about how it was for me when I first arrived in Denmark. At first you'll miss the US but then by the time you have to leave, you won't want to go.
